That isn't a good thing.

You want some individuality you do! Smile

Unless you buy a bike and make lots of mods including say a spondon frame then you're never going to get any individuality regardless of whether you buy a GSXR or something crap like a triumph.

yeah i would have thought cbr125 would be top as it looks nice and is cheap. I'm not a fan but I can see why it would sell well.

mate, I've got this month's 'Bike' magazine on my knee..... and it clearly says that the cbr125 is top, with the gsxr1000 in second Confused

but it does say that these figures are for sales up to oct 05, have you got newer figures from somewhere?
