Hello everyone!
I'm a 18 year old guy from Belgium.

I currently have a Yamaha YZF R-125 and 2 Chinese bikes (50CC from a while ago and a Off-Road 200CC Cross).

Yamaha YZF R-125
To bad it's only a 125CC bike, just fell in the Europian licenses.
If i was born 23 days earlier i would have ridden the R6!
But it is what it is, so here is a picture of my baby.

Already crashed her Sad
A kid ran over between the traffic when it was raining, i panicked and boom, there i was on the ground.

I bought myself a Chinese cross because i want to learn about engines and so forth.

I bought myself this Baby:

Got her home, unloaded her and inspected her.
Pretty quickly i found out the engine was worn.
So i bought a new Cilinder kit on Mbe-Motorsports.

Then there is my tuned 50CC bike!

Comments are welcome!
Greetings!

Hi Brent!

Maybe it's the 2nd bottle of wine I'm on, maybe it's the endorphins from the thumb I hit while attempting DIY after the 1st bottle, but that YZF is looking pretty good to me.

Are you going steady, or am I in with a chance?

Looks good because it's all black including the screen and has not L plates on it!

So, subconsciously, I've been craving them small, humpbacked, black and experienced? You learn something new every day.

Hello mate,

Whereabouts are you living in Belgium? I am in Waloonia and ride a UK registered Hornet. I'd love to get a Belgian registered bike but seeing as I don't own an auto, insurance is super expensive. Insurance companies don't even ask me how long I have been riding, it is just flat rate 550-600 Euro for 1 year insurance. That and the fact that bikes here are 1.5 - 2x the price of UK used bikes means I won't ever get a Belgian registered bike. But kudos to you for getting as far as you have!

Who do you insure with? I really want to get legal here and buy a Belgian registered bike but I can't find motorcycle only insurance (no auto) for less than 500 Euro. Sad
