Hey guys Id just like to say hi to everyone and share my dilemma with you guys, perhaps some of you could guide me in the right direction. Im 20 and have owned my xvs125 for a good year and a half. I hardly ride it but pamper it away in the garage and those spring and summer months its out the garage definetly are some of my best days Time has come though where Im considering to sell it, if I could get more power out of it, I would keep it, however if I cant I would rather just sell it.

Hi everyone, i forgot to introduce myself so i thought i'd throw this up and let you see the bloody mess i've made of a nice bike. I've just bought an 'Ace for a few long trips over Summer with me mates and the missus in Europe. Its not the first Yam i've owned and truth be told all my mates still consider me to be a Yamaha Man, over the years i've had DT50, RS125, YB100, YPVS350, FZ750, FZR600, FZR1000 Gen, and probably a few more i've forgotten. I bet the pics dont work, i'm Terry Fuckwit when it comes to 'puters.
