It's this person: https://www.bikechatforums.com/viewtopic.php?p=4603783#4603783
OP your issue won't be with 55bhp, sure you need to develop the clutch control but if (I'm assuming your gender here) you're a lass on the smaller side it'll be the weight you struggled with.
The CBF500 isn't particularly light at 206kg, someone on here went to a school recently that had KTM Duke 690s @ 150kg although I think KTM tell a few

A four stroke 125 on the motorway will be painful and soul crushing.
In theory you could be done for being 2mph over the limit but speed cameras are not set at 72mph.
"All cameras on M1 and M25 go live at midnight tonight, set at 72mph.
Auto ticket generating system with 6 point penalty."
"Watch your speed and tell everyone else tonight, any speed over 90mph is instant ban & possible court & custodial sentence order!! Drive safely guys & girls."
It's all a load crap intended to wind people up. |

oh you think the speed cameras are at the usual +10% not manually set at 72? |

A CBR125 is only marginally better than a CG. The CBR will do 70 but that'll be terrifying dealing with all the lorries and getting overtaken by every coach. Getting a speeding ticket is the least of your worries |

I think OP should just get passing out of the way first. Discussing speed cameras, limits and what 125 will or
won't be utterly shite on the motorway all just hot air until you ditch the L's. So I'd make that my priority personally.
You seem super confident the test is gonna be a nowt but a formality. Yet I know lots of people that took two three
and four attempts to pass. Despite them having had tuition. Don't get me wrong, I hope you pass, but lots can go wrong
in that 40 odd minutes. One ill judged roundabout is all it takes to be heading back to the test centre to hear why
it is you failed. ____________________ Currently enjoying products from Ford, Mazda and Yamaha

If speed cameras were set at 77mph then they'd be catching everyone. |

I'd only take Mod 2 if my CBT was about to expire, otherwise it's a waste of money getting an A1 licence IMO.

I agree with everything Grrr has said (sounded very TM like)
Firstly OP seems to know better than everyone else, or has a reason why they want to go an unconventional route to passing the test (diy option).
Did the training school shout at you too much or say your not up to it, or discriminate or behave inappropriately towards you inany way?
Your actions are like someone that's burnt their hand on the oven and not wanting to go back into the kitchen out of fear or irrational behaviour and mentally blocking out reality, and trying to find a way to skirt around the issues they are facing instead of tackling them head on?
What makes you think in your head that you are incapable of passing an A2 test unlike everyone else?
The only other reason to avoid A2 is if your totally skint, and just need a simple cheap commuter bike on an A1 licence to get to work and back on. But if that were the case you'd not be worrying about motorways, 72mph speed cameras and carrying pillions.
Something doesn't stack up here, and it's not the bikes or the insurers or the licencing system. Its just the delusional person that won't admit they are avoiding putting the cart in front of the horse, or something like that? |

Old Thread Alert!
