Well had her since thursday

Now im going to be honest I really did not want a CBR125R, I thought my god a 4 stroke, its guna be slow, sluggish and not very practical.

But then I had a go on my mates and I was swayed, i thought maybe I got it all wrong and its actually a good little machine.

And then I saw a CBR going at my local bike shop and it was second hand i thought fuck it, ill take the gamble.

Anyway after having it a few days Ive grown to love it more and more.

I know its not the fastest 125 out there, but i didnt get it for the speed, i got it purely to get to work and back, and to have a bit of fun at the weekends. Its plenty fast enough for me to learn on, and gets used to biking, oh and its cheap.

I paid £1400 for it, its an 04 model, 310 miles on the clock, 1 years warranty and 1 years AA breakdown cover

Couple of pics for ya:

Looks nice.

I didn't really like them until about 2 days ago, a friend bought a brand spanking new one and I had a little trundle on it. Have to say, it looked great and sounded good and I was impressed with it generally.

At that sort of price I don't have nearly as many objections to such a bike. However I hope some people can see why we are against buying new... when the value drops that much after a few hundred miles Smile.

Thats the thing though - the cbr125's keep their value better than this! I think the dealership must have been desperate to get rid or something Confused

I've got nothing against them, so long as you buy one knowing its not going to be fast, and you don't pay over the odd's their a good little bike.

Think of it as a brand new CG with a fairing and you wouldnt be disappointed.

£1400 is cheap for such a new bike! looks like you've for yourself a great deal! Thumbs Up
