Hiya all, i have had a runner 125 for a year now & got a cbt.
but i'm 6ft & 15 stone (been weightlifting & put on 2 stone ),now i think i'm just to big 4 that runner sooooooooo i'm getting a nsr125, but it's 4 miles from me home & i have never been on a manual , i know how they work & i got a car so i'm used to clutch control in that respect. what r the chances of me limping it home so i can practice on my quiet streets. got no friends to help & wallet is empty so delivery ain't an option, some advice would be grateful.
also r u allowed to derestict with just a cbt?? i'm assuming no |

You can always limp home in 1st the whole way.
What are the 4 miles like? Is it all town and junctions, stop-start stuff or what?
I think with the clutch control knowledge you have from the car, you should be alright, but if the roads are busy you want to either leave it til later at night to move it, or find a street near where you're picking it up to go up and down stopping and starting until you're happy to take it out in traffic. |

Can't you get the owner to ride the bike to your house then give him a lift home?
Surely he would do that to get rid of his bike? unless your are buying it from an evil dealership or something |

Or maybe someone from this forum who lives in the same area will offer to pick it up for you ____________________ I spend all my money on bikes and beer, the rest I simply waste! |

If it's de-restricted and has normal gearing it will do 100mph+. My brother has the same model and year and his does 100 no problem. ____________________ Current bike: VTR1000F Firestorm. Previous: Firestorm (written off) - XJ600 Divvy - NSR125 - DT125 and a load of offroaders. |

just thought i would give you a update
well me dad bottled riding it home, so thought what the hell lets have a bash .
VERY surprised at myself, sat there for a min, felt weird to sit on, starting to feel stupid playing with the clutch finding the biting point, dads pissing himself laughing at me just sitting there, thought bollocks, pulled away felt natural and easy .
did not stall once, changed gears fine smooth ride all the way home (apart from hit the horn instead of indicator at one turn , but well chuffed .
think theres enough comas in that? |

Gears are easier than some people think, well done for just doing it though. Top choice with the NSR.
Personally I felt you needed a few more comma's |
