Okay this is my second time on here, I've re-activated my account. Last time I was on here I attracted a lot of hatred because I was seen as one of the weaker ones as I was on a moped. That was Chinese...was also seriously shit. Now for the last few months I took my CBT again and started off on a 125 scooter (Sinnis Eagle - I hadn't learned) then discovered the joys of a geared bike (Sinnis Apache - Still hadn't learned) both of which were pretty fucked. I then moved onto a Honda XLR125 which was too slow so swapped it for this...And I fucking love it. Yes you was all right I should have gone for a Honda.

Either way long story short, I'm wanting to tidy mine up generally. I have a spare set of fairings for it and will be painting them but I'm trying to decide on decent colour schemes. It's not going down the route of a race replica as it's the NSR125F "Raiden" I'm led to believe. I'm spending a year or two on a 125 bike to find my feet and then moving onto my A licence.

That's all from me and I hope to hear actual suggestions.

Assuming that is your actual bike pictured, don't change a thing, and look after it well!

It is indeed my bike pictured, this was the day it broke down (overheating issue) it's currently sat in a workshop near to me having the fault diagnosed and/or possible rebuild...but I love it!

Looks like good condition original plastics, if you're going to remove them keep them safe and well protected.

Are the ones you're planning on painting in similar condition?

Wouldn't say it's in bad nick, it is a 24 year old bike so it does have its little bumpy bits and scuffs and scrapes as is to be expected but the frame is straight, plastics are in as good condition as you could want from it. Only issue at the minute is a leaky engine and right hand fork.
