Picked this up tonight, rode back in thunder and lightning with rivers flowing across the road on Uncle Wu's finest brand new nylon tyres, most "interesting" :-

https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/3526686/YBR1.JPG

2010, nice and tight, just over 7000 miles on it, garage kept. Some surface flux on the swing arm and a couple of really minor scrapes, but otherwise very clean.

Looking forward to tomorrow's commute Smile

No picture so I'm guessing a 250 single with a relaxed riding style.

Wife doesn't have her licence yet, so this will do me for commuting while she does her CBT then finds out if 2 wheels is for her or not. If it is, then once she's through her test, a 250 with relaxed riding style would very much be on the cards. If it isn't, then a 250 with relaxed riding style would also very much be on the cards Smile

I liked my YBR - stock CheungFeng tires were apalling in the damp but other than that it was fine Smile

Judging by your sig you obviously have your full license and had quite a few bikes,
Out of interest why have you gone for a 125?
Genuinely interested,
Just because its economical or something?
Have a collection of bikes?

Edit,
Just read your post a few posts up Very Happy looks nice

Thanks. I'm tempted to get the Mrs to upgrade her CG as I'm sure the YBR is the much better bike

Each to their own of course, but surely the focus is better directed at getting Cat A. Stick with the CG and crack on!


......I realise as someone who did 7 years on CBT's this is mildly hypocritical. Smile

She's a very slow learner on the bike and can't get time off work at the min due to projects, so lessons are almost impossible to book. 125 practice seems the order of the day and truth be told, while I find the CG hilarious, I don't think this one is the easiest bike to ride for a noob

Hit a throbbing 64.47mph on the way in this morning, not bad with my lardy 17.5 stone arse on it (GPS reading, 70 on the speedo, bolt upright - gentlemen don't tuck). Pulls OK to 50, not bad to 55, then needs a written invitation to start moving further than that. Feels like it could sit at 55 happily.

It's like a mountain bike with an engine Smile

Woo, make that a 68.72mph (75 speedo) on the commute home. Pure, unadulterated POWAH! Smile
