WOOHOO!! IT's like a TOY!!!

Okay, settle down, breath...breath...what did your momma tell you about random yelling....breath.....okay....ahhhhh..that's better.

I just bought my wife a CBR125R. She doesn't have a license yet, so I get to ride it...and it's sooooo much fun. I can't get my lovely keister over 107 kph yet, but we bought it with 128 km's on it...so it'll break in i'm sure.

It's hard to for me to say, because I might lose serious dude privelages, but this little 125cc racer is so much more fun than my M. It's like a 10 speed on crack! It weighs nothing, accelerates fine for day to day traffic and is so nimble...so very very nimble.

i gotta get to a track.

gixxer 750's be damned...ONWARD LITTLE 125!!!! Here's a pic

Yeah, I tried to talk my wife into a Ninja 250, thinking I might have a lot of fun riding it! She didn't go for it though.

Have fun!

That thing has got to be the most fun bike ever to ride around town.

I swear, it's just like a toy! It's as close to a big wheel as I have ever gotten...hmmm, maybe i could turn this into trike!?

Is it weird that my snowblower has more horsepower...

Maybe that makes me even MORE canadian.

Looks like a blast. Cost?

geoffsimpson · 03-25-2008, 07:04 PM

only available in Canada as far as I can tell. The program gets you a bike, jacket, boots, pants and gloves for between around 4 grand plus tax when it's all said and done

We bought it used in Vancouver for 3200 without all the gear as my wife had her own stuff already. Plus It had 3 years of extended warranty and no miles, so just in saving the tax, it was more than worth it

serious question though... does it sound like a lawnmower? or does the lawnmower have more power

It's not too bad...it has around 15 hp i think and sounds similar to my old Kawi 440...so less the MY lawnmower anyways. It is surprising though...it can really book along at 50mph all day.

Mavman · 03-25-2008, 08:07 PM

Nice Geoff! Regardless of speed, she sure looks sharp.....Glad your havin' fun.....

...So, ya hopin' the wife don't get her license after all??

SNAFU · 03-25-2008, 08:29 PM

Good job, that's a nice looking bike!

Scribbles · 03-26-2008, 08:57 PM
