well the NS was crap on dual carriageway, the slightest wind blew it all over the road. wind + light bike + fairing does not mix. comparitively the CB feels planted up to 75, where it gets very unhappy.

Faired 125s always get tossed around in the wind, get a strong enough gust and you can end up in the middle of the road.

As for motorways, well considering the traffic is uaully moving at about 80mph rather than 70 you'll feel like you're really pushing it riding at that speed constantly.

I must say, I never had any problems with my NSR on dual carriageways. Went to Cov at 80, and it never shifted - and that was in a bad patch of weather.

*Almost got all the way to Silverstone mainly down duallies again.....and it was fine then (til I hit that bloody diesel Sad )

You dont want to be running a 2 stroke at high RPM for long periods, so 125's ant that good on motoways, should be ok at about 60mph

considering they last about 10-15 thausand miles betweed re-builds
long motorway trips wont do the bike much good.

Laughing Well my opinion obviously counts for nothing then...

but IMHO the NSR is fine on the motorways....(i actually think the screen is quite effective) i keep at a steady 90 to and from BoxHill.

But as I havent actually got a full licence I never use the Motorways Wink
