Got my YZF R125-Pics added

[Slim1664]

Finally got my YZF R125. Picked it up tuesday the 22nd . Just so happened that after 6-7 weeks of waiting it turned up on my birthday! and there was no rain. Been riding it every day.
I am so looking forward to getting used to riding and taking the corners at a desent speed. (when the tyres has worn in)

Still running it in but i can get 75mph with no trouble at 7000rpm with 3500 still to go and thats on running in oil. so should think 80-85 is there. Not bad for a 4t. Pulled away from my mate in a 1.4 fiesta.

Considering my last car was a 300bhp celica gt4 st205 the YZF feels so quick and i love the fact you actually have to RIDE a bike where as the car pretty much drove itself.

Anyway its saturday morning the sun is shinning so instead of being inside typing on my computer i think ill go for a ride.
Wonder where the road will take me today.

Nice one! Got any pictures of it?

Sounds good..and bloody fast for a 4t.
Thing is,it's not about how fast you can go,it's how fast you can get there

Anyway,pics or it does'nt exist

Cheers.
I will get pics up soon as i can stop riding it. If you remember your 1st bikes im sure you understand.
True it does take a while to get there but it aint to bad. I would say 0-62 in about 8-9 sec`s, thats running in oil and not red-lining in any gear. (dont forget 4t 125)
Not bad for a 4t 125.
Any one thinking about getting one, do. Dont listen to people that say they sound like scooters. I havent heard a scooter that sounds like this does. My mate on his RS125 likes the sound more than his (bee in a can).

Anyway, im off again

make sure you keep up with your manufacturer services...

i think its an oil change at 250 miles, one at 500, then 1000... after that your on your own.

normal 4 stroke oil doesnt make a bike faster than ''running in oil'', id say your maybe ragging it a bit too much for the running in stage though. you're seriously meant to take it easy.

F**king hell if it has a top end like that then forget what I said about it not being a 2 stroke... By the sounds of things this bike is set to redefine the 4T image.
Forget about R6's, VFR's and Speed4's, I want a YZF r125. Well maybe not but I would if it was my first bike... or would I have another NSR? ... meh NSR sorry

EDIT: D*mnit I have to stop swearing I'm suposed to be karma whoring here.

It might well be geared for 112 mph...but it won't do 112 mph. I once drove an old Austin Maestro 1.3 HLE. Only had 4 gears...3 normal and one badged as "e" on the gearstick...basically on overdrive fourth gear. Anyway, using a formula like the one above we worked out it was geared to do 186 mph! Trouble was it only did 85 in third and 80 in fourth, or "e"!

Mind you, it regularly returned 50mpg.

i think my GSXR600 does something like 75-80mph at 7000rpm...

Double checked the speed at the revs and its 75 at maybe 7500 but i aint lying. I have no need to.
Yeah and that really dosent mean the bike is geared for 112mph. Im supprised you think gearing works like that. Gears are set different aint they. 1st is low so pulling away is easy and so is riding in traffic. I would assume 6th gear is set so the engine isnt red lining when going say 60mph.

With the ragging the bloke in the shop said dont `baby` it as it will settle better with normal ridding. On any new bike/car/lawnmower unless you have the patients of a saint you cant be sensible 100% of the time can ya. Ive only rode hard for a few hundred meters out of the 280miles i've done.
I really aint in the need for speed just yet as i only started ridding bikes tuesday gone. I want to learn to keep speed round the twistys. well off i go again.........

Just done a search on google for the specs...
It is said the top speed in restricted form is about 71mph.
Being a 4t i didnt think it would be restricted,but even un-restricted i cant see it getting more than 18bhp at very most.(i could be wrong)
If your telling the truth about doing 75mph @ 7.5k rpm then i cant see it going any quicker,unless your going down a really vertical hill.

So you know,im not calling you a liar here,i just dont believe you

Let's not forget how much speedo's over read.

Doesn't matter how you run them when new as long as it isn't at the same constant revs for too longer time. I've run bikes in at stages and ragging them, never had a noticeable difference.

Get these pics up already.

Well dont belive me then all i know is i'm 26 not 17 and have no need to lie about speed to people i dont even know. I could jump into my 3ltr v6 alfa and go fast if i wanted too.
MCM,What bike and lots of others say 80mph is do-able, sorry, an indicated 80mph is possible. I doubt it will go more than 75-80mph in 6th, might even drop a few mph due to the gearing.
I suppose if i did 10,000 rpm ( peak power ish) in 6th and saw what speed i was doing, if i doubled it that would give me a true top speed.
ms51ves3-your good at maths, does that sound about right?
Pictures are taken now comming.........

[veeeffarr]

Do we have to turn every thread where speed is mentioned into a fucking full blown investigation? It's boring as fuck

[AJI]

I agree with ms51ves3. He isn't saying that your bike will do 112mph, just that it could well be geared for it. If it is, then with the power it has it won't have a chance in hell of reaching that theoretical maximum (all things being equal, you need around 20bhp for high 80s mph and 30bhp for around 100, so to reach 112 you'd be talking as much as 35-40bhp with that gearing).

Toby: Do you have to read every thread if they're that boring?

[Slim1664]

Well not being funny Toby R but just dont read this thread. I'm finding it informative and fun. If you have nothing consructive to type then dont type at all.

at ms51ves3, I'll stop talking about speed untill its run in then i'll go for it. Trust me, i aint lying.

Maybe though they geared it to be balls out in 1,2,3,4,5, then economical in 6th? Like i say when run in i'll go for it. I'll see what the speedo says then get someone to follow in a car and get it correctly Right thats sorted now i'll try to get pics up.
