How is it possible...!!??

[PizzImperfect]

Earlier this morning i was sat at lights on my CBF125.. and some chav on one of those aprillia replica things pulled up next to me...
From the sound it was putting out, i thought it was a 50cc... very small exhaust and it really did sound LOUD but weak...

Anyway, lights changed and he f*cking shot off in front of me!?
I hated my bike for a good 10 minutes afterwards.. how is that possible!?

Someones just told me if it was 2-stroke then it could be faster!?

I'm still upset. I must pass my test now and get that CBR600 and find the little bastard again...

It will be an RS125. It is possible because the RS125 makes more power than your bike and it's a 2 stroke.

Pretty much 2 strokes rule.

Who cares who if someone has a faster bike than you? Don't be hating the bike. There's nothing wrong with it.

It probably isn't an issue just now on the CBF125, but that attitude could land you in some trouble. Learn to accept that people will always have faster vehicles than you or just may be a faster rider. It may be that they can drive safely at speed, or that they have less concern for their own and other peoples health than you.

It's a road, not a racetrack.

2 stroke de restricted looking at 20-25bhp, compared to your 13 or 14bhp... thats why.

If it was restricted, maybe he just had a much better start.

The RS bikes are nothing short of race tuned 2 strokes with lights on. A cbf is just a standard 4 stroke 125. Off the lights the RS will take off like its shot out of a barrel but you'll find that you'd claw the lead back again pretty sharpish if you tried.

I wouldnt let it get you down. You can rest in the knowladge that he'll have expensive engine fixes when it blows up because the chav hoked the shit out of it where as your lowly cbf can be ridden all day, dropped off a clif and then shot with a cannon and still be ridden home with no damage done to the engine.

Teflon-Mike:I think I agree with just about all Pinky has said.

A decent RS50 can pwn a CBF125 off the lights with a lightweight rider

Indeed i was pwned. I still love my bike - your 100% right, it has a look of "I'll just keep going, and going, and going"... However i just felt a bit stupid cause when he pulled up and i heard the hairdryer like engine goin at it, i thought i'd have him!

Well he showed me. Its fine, i'll find him one day and pwn the shit out of him!

And @David, It was quite early this morning and i wouldn't pull my throttle back without being certain i'm not going to plough into anything.
I completely understand your POV safety is always at the front of my mind on my bike.. However i didn't just buy my bike to cut through traffic.. I bought it for the thrill of riding one too.

Point taken though mate, however - i AM going to toast that lad one day

2 strokes are universally known to be awesome made of win.

*goes back to obsessing over his H100*

I personally prefer the sound of my bike.. You may think its a thud but i think it sounds more like a motorcycle.. less like a push-bike with an aluminium can jammed on the rear tyre...

Each to their own And in all fairness he did beat me! Hey, mine will last longer and is more fuel efficient i guess

Few years ago, I filtered to teh front of a queue of traffic at a T-Junction. Sat next to an inociouse Mondeo, wating for a gap.
Saw it, unleashing about 70% of the available grunt of a thousand cc V4, to save tyres and tarmac, only to be rather purturbed by the impudence of the bludy modeo man trying to take the same (small!) gap accross the cross-roads and MORE actually trying to shut the door on me!
I was SO stunned by such temerity I backed off and let him through...
Only THEN did I see the lettering ST24 on the back.....
Had to ask what it meant when I got to work....
It had only just been launched!
Had a similar experience about ten years earlier on the M42 when coming onto the entrance ramp from the right, a white Sierra with 'stupid' spoiler on the back entered from the left, and attempted to out-drag us all the way to the NEC!
Of course, it was one of the early release 'Wale-Tail' Cosworths
Moral of the Story, JUST 'cos your on a bike, dont expect to be the quickest thing away from the lights... even if your on a very quick bike..... there's always SOMETHING out there to catch you unawares!

Must admit I've learnt quite a bit from this thread...

I always thought a 50cc... was a 50cc and they were shit and slow and noisey and good for nothing. I stand corrected!

My CBF is still better though.. and no doubt my bike is more attractive to girls
