Picked up my first bike!

Hi guys,

Picked up my bike today so thought I would share some pictures and a rough list of how much it's cost me in total. The bike rides fine, I'm sure there may be a few things that need sorting on it but so far all i've encountered is the chain guard & number plate could do with replacing. There are also two dinks on the bike but I'm not fussed about them.

Bike : £550.00
Insurance : £220.00
Security : £90.00
Helmet : £90.00
Gloves : £40.00
Boots : £30.00 (Cheap ALDI Boots but do the job)
Leathers : £60.00 (Used)
CBT : £125.00
HPI Check : £15.00
Total : £1220.00

Will stay with this Honda CG 125 on L plates until I'm 24, don't see the point in taking the restricted license when I'm able to take the full test in 16 months.

Thanks to everyone who helped and put up with my noobish questions. Thumbs Up

Looks fine. By the time your ready for the test you will walk it. Wouldent hurt to have a session with an instructor though so you don't get any bad habits.

The ride is much nicer than the Yamaha SR125 I had on my CBT. Really impressed with the bike, stalled it twice and left the indicator on once (noticed shortly after thankfully).

The price I got it for is great, just hope it doesn't come to bike me in the ass... Laughing

Looks pristine, nice colour too, you just need to get rid of that ugly lump of plastic on the forks, spoils the look. Wink

How much was that anti-matter drive unit on the exhaust?
