what 125 shuld i get??

[andyboy359]

Hello all my name is Andrew and i come from cornwall im not new to bikes how ever do not know what 125 i should get, I have untill 26th of August 2 pick what bike I wont because that will be when i can get a 125 . I have an Aprilia rs 50cc 07 and from the begin i wanted a aprilia 125 06 or later (reason, its faster ) But then after school one time i went to a Yamaha dealer and got to see the 2009 Yamaha YZF-R125 and fell in love with it looked it up and was loving it! but then my bro in law was talking about the cativcagiva mito and nw i dont know I now don`t mind the speed as long as it can do 80mph im happy.

Things i just want my 125 to able to do/be.
I don`t want to do alot of work on it.e.g. 2 stroke and things like i have had to do with my aprilia, i just want a nice sounding reliable bike (for once)

Thanks Andrew

Bike that can do 80, sound nice and is reliable? well the r125 doesn't hit 80, unless down hill it also doesn't sound nice. Then the mito and rs125, both wont be particularly reliable, will be able to do 80 and don't sound that nice.

If I were you I would get something cheap and reliable and use is to get through your test. CG125 would be perfect

Buy a cheap cg125 or if monies not tight buy a yzf as you'll probably be able to sell it at no loss if you shop around for a bargain, and do ya test then buy a 250 or a restricted 400, 500 or 600cc and forget all about the 125's.

thank you both how ever im nt in to the CG125 im more in to racing/sport bikes xD and i would so love a Yzf and once i done my full test im gonna get a 400 or maybe a 600 if i can and i hear that the Yzf could do 80 :O nt fully sure but i just like a fast good looking good sounding reliable 125 sorry for being difficult haha

Thanks Andrew

Listen to pinky on this one. It is a waste of money, I was exactly the same too when I was turning 17 wanted a sporty looking bike so got my self a YZF125 three weeks later I crashed it and ended up spending 4 months on a YBR. At first I thought it was awful, after a few weeks I started to enjoy my self. I then realised what a mistake it was to buy the r125 and should have got a ybr/cg in the first place. Gained all my confidence on the YBR and done my test. It is the right way to go

Oh and no the r125 won't really do 80 I had 76 out of mine on the flat down hill I got a 84 on the speedo

as above really, if your into your bikes, save some moneys and do your test, get a real bike

if your intent on buying a 125... id vote on a CG, or if you really want a sporty look the YZF-125. a lot of other "sport" 125's will just fall apart to be honest.

for the price of a 125 it makes much more financial sence to get a big bike

No 125 has what you're looking for. Pass your test. An R125 doesn't even look fast... not with big dirty L's on it. It's just embarrassing.

Go for a 4t commuter, pass your test and move away from the school playground "my 50cc will do 70mph" shit. It just makes people look stupid.

i was in the same boat as you

i wanted to get a rs125,but a few people were getting bigger bikes so after a while i decided the cg wasn't so bad and got one

rode around for abit and then did theory and mod1 .. mod 2's in working progress

i don't know where this is going lol

also don't put a 80 kit on the rs50,the 50 was crap enough with the brakes

Since you've already got the 50cc then spend time practicing for your test. Book your test through a training school with the money you would spend on the 125cc bike and pass on one of their bikes. Then you can sell the 50cc and buy a bigger bike.

No point spending the guts of a grand on a 125 and the hassle of insuring etc. When you can just rent a training schools one for 100 quid to do the test on.

If you're serious about something fast (or even something that'll keep up with traffic), get a full license. If you're determined on a 125, give up on trying to get something fast. Get something 4t and reliable.
