Don't be, its a wonderful bike, i've owned 2 and i'm not short.

Great little buggers, do watch out, at around 20,000 they like to shit their insides out...and you end up with a knackered engine.
Thats mainly down to learner abuse though. Thumbs Up

you might be bricking it for now, but 5 mins on it, and you'll have a smile like the joker.
Just remember to re-fuel, I actually run out of fuel a couple weeks back, I wasn't even pissed, I was just laughing my head off Mr. Green

CBRs are teh fun. As far as 125s go, I think they're the perfect blend of sensible and silly. Love it then leave it (to someone else who'll love it).

I am so chuffed.

Thing is, until I had my first bike lesson 3 weeks ago, the last 2 wheeled mode of transport I had been on was a pushbike.

On 18th August 1983.

I came off in spectactular style, broke my leg in 3 places, cracked my kneecap in 2 different directions and severed the cartilage and ligaments.

So psychologically it was A Very Big Deal to get on a bike.

Most of my friends were convinced I'd bottle it Embarassed

And look where you're going, not at your reflection in shop windows.

I am a geek.

I have planned my route home (and made it miles and miles and miles longer) so that I can avoid all even slightly major roads.

No shops to look in Very Happy

And sure with all the gear on I look like the Michelin Man.

But my helmet does have pink flowers on it Wink
