Still the same thing, with the new looks and LED headlight, available for sale in the first half of this year. The ignition key is new as well.

I liked the 'do not attempt this' warning on the promo video, like everyone has 2 huge mechanical walls slowly moving towards each other that you could ride a motorcycle between.

i prefer my current 2015 version, this looks too angular for me!!

they could have at least given it

- adjustable suspension
- a gear indicator (yea i know theres only 4 gears Laughing )
- o ring chain as standard
- bigger fuel tank
- mirrors that work better
- bolts that are not made of grated cheese
- fender extender
- rear rack
- top box
- decent tail tidy
- heated grips
- hand guards
- a rear brake which does not require the rear wheel to be taken off just to change the brake pads.

Careful, they are very low to the ground, you may get dirt thrown up into your mangina Wink

Just kidding.

I think the new headlight is gopping. Seems to have taken it's styling tips from a BMW K100.

Predictions on price? Betting on the fact that it will be lots more expensive.

I wonder if anyone here has any experience with the bore kits to enlarge the capacity up from 125, and what difference it made. They really need the 15bhp limit instead of the 9 they come with

Looking at the front brake, you wouldn't ride it too long, that's for sure. Laughing

Correct. I've got two, a brand new Repsol with a few hundred miles on it. I bought this because I liked it. Then just by chance and before many other people, I managed to pick up 20 month old example with 3.7K miles for £700. I bought it, then spent money on it.

New Rear Shock
Forks re-gapped and oil weight changed.
181 BBK Takegawa including faster cam and fuel controller
Kitaco clutch cover. Deletes the 1KG oil spinner and adds a regular oil filter
Takegawa super oil pump
Takegawa Air Filter
Black widow Carbon full exhaust
An Op-Mid. Bar clamp device that shows oil temperature and Volts (because Honda Reg/Rec Rolling Eyes )
Galfer front and rear wavy discs
Shorty Levers etc.
I think that's it.

A lot of money, but if I sold that bike now (back to stock), I'd make money. It was a bargain.

As to how it goes, it's got so much torque for a little bike. Top speed isn't changed much because of the gearing, but it gets there easier and doesn't crawl on the hills/wind.

People laugh, but round here (London and suburbs), they can't keep up, I can corner and whizz through the traffic. It's epic. With the 181 it's not truck/van bait on the Dual Carriageway.

Matt B rode them back to back!

Agree, this will make the first version an instant classic.

2 thousand miles so far, not a single hiccup. I use it everyday, the only issue being cold start (at or below freezing), because of the compression. Even then it just labours a bit then fires. Usually first time fire.

Much, much better.

I did Very Happy

Joking aside, they are fun little bikes that put a smile on your face. The 180 kit seems to transform them though - it pulls much harder and at the time I said it was like riding a 250, but without the weight. The difference between the 125 and the 180 really is noticeable.

Great little bikes, and if I was commuting in London or another big city I would definitely consider one with the 180 kit Thumbs Up

It's at about 100-110 to a tank, compared to 140 'ish before

I can live with that.

In addition, stock front sprocket is 15T, because of all the extra torque it's better on a 16T. But the speedo was a million miles (further) out. It would be a much better ride and higher cruising speed.

Love the "test ride" at the end of that video. Fag in mouth, no protective gear, spent all his money on the engine rather than food Laughing
