Very nice indeed. The seating position on this bike for a female is exceptional

Hi guys, thanks for the welcome. I absolutely love the bike, I waited a long time and finally the dream came true!

And also i think white strip on the black wheels would be the best shout for your bikes color scheme

Lovely bike Hayley, I've always liked the look of these 125's, what's the top speed ?
I think your right about the exhaust, exhaust are if you think of it the bum hole of an engine and who wants to look at a bum hole, wish all bikes had exhausts hidden under the seat, I bet it keeps your bum nice n warm in winter.

This will be my next bike when funds allow CBR600RR loverly bike

Hi everyone, thanks for all of your comments.

Here's an update...

I've had it nearly 4 months now and done 1,000 miles (mostly when it hasn't been raining!). But I started it the other day and noticed a whining sound coming from around the dashboard area, similar to the noise it makes when you turn on the ignition. I took it back to Honda and apparently it's the fuel pump making a funny noise (although the bike seems unaffected, no engine cutting or anything). Not a worry though as they are going to change it (tomorrow) for free because it's still under warranty... phew!

I don't like the idea of the exhaust either, lol, but I'm not planning on changing it as I don't intend to keep this bike forever.

75 indicated is the max Ive had out of mine on a flat with the wind behind and tucked down

Rode a 125 once in my life for my CBT, haven't ridden one since, only bike I rode which you could rag the life out of and keep your license, starting to think a slower bike would be more fun than a fireblade, well on the road anyway.
