I posted a vid of someone blowing out his rear tyre on a cbr, looked like a 125.

lol cbr125s must be selling good

there must be a lot of cunts out there
bikes are going to be heaps expensive next year imo
onset of EFI 250's has pushed prices above the 8-8.5 mark, without other charges
kawasaki will push the price of their 250 up a tad, just cos they can, while staying competitive
iirc the cbr125 goes at 6.5-7 ride away
yamaha set at 7 + onroads
gsxr won't be the cheapest thing in the paddock
imo if hyosung keeps prices down the 250's will move like hotcakes

That still doesnt explain that sound you described.


BTW i just saw pics of the YZR125.

If it wasnt for the engine size, i might finance the bastard.

Funny Suzuki wasnt mentioned.
then again they tend to do things their own way as usual.

Back on topic..
With the Honda CBR125 I dont think they look that fucked. If your planning to own one put your money into ground effect lights, a loud, pimped out, fat exhaust, and some nice decal work, and nobody will notice your faggy tires.

If they're bringing over so many 125 options I would hate to see Aus adopt the UK licencing scheme :x

Unless you restrict use to suburban / city commuting I don't see the point to 125s, even then a 250 with more grunt would be my preference

Have to spend a year (or two? I forget) on a 125, then you get bumped up a class spend time on that, etc

They allow you to restrict to the equivalent power output though. You can buy a 600 and restrict it... won't be much fun lol but you can do it

Suzuki GSX-R125 Photos Surface Online Ahead Of Official Debut | The Motor Report: Auto News And Reviews


how did i forget the EFI vtr to hit the market
that should keep things interesting with the gt250rs, it wont come cheap though
i reckon they could milk more cash out of people not wanting to by hyo's just cos of the name


EDIT: had a chat a few pages back about cbrs
not too bad if you keep em to the city
easy to filter, light and flickable
look good too
i can see their purpose
