    Good evening, I've recently purchased a 2013 YZF 250, brilliant bike, can not fault it. A few friends have told me that my bike seems small compared to their 250's, I took no notice of it until tonight, I had nothing better to do so I decided d get the tape measure out and take a measurement for myself, my seat height turnt out to be 36 1/2 inches and my ground clearance was around 12 inches. I done some research over the Internet to find the stock 2013 YZF 250 should be 39 inches as the seat height and 14 inch ground clearance, correct me if I'm wrong but that's what I found. I measured the ground clearance by myself so it's not bang on accurate. Anybody know how to rais…

    I'm taking my test early next month but won't be buying my bike until next year.. but I'm having trouble deciding what to get. My mind was firmly set of getting the R125 but some of my friends have said to get something bigger and restrict it and others have said stick with a small bike. I'll probably be doing a bit of traveling on it..work is 65 miles from where I live and is mostly duel carriageway and a bit of back roads. Being only 5'4" I need to find something I will be able to reach the floor on!!! I love the look of the R125 but the engine sound is a little disappointing from what I've heard so far.. And with the Aprilias..well I haven't ever really been a f…
