Hi Everybody After a few years not owning a Yamaha, I am back reunited with Y and loving it. As you can see from the title, I have a few riding years on me and the subsequent falls/scars (almost 30 years on bikes/quads and 8 different operations). My first Yamaha was a XT600 for my 18th birthday and it was exhilarating and enjoyable. That was back to the time when you got the full driving licence with just passing an exam and insurers were more benign with young riders. From there, different bikes and quad followed as you can see in my signature. I was biten by the Ducati thrill (twice) and when I recently sold my 1000SS, I thought what could be my next bike. …

Just wanted to say hello. I have just got hold of a couple of older Yamaha's to remind me when I used to have fun..I have now got a 2006 DT125RE and just got a TZR 125r 4DL a Swiss import. Now having the fun of trying to get hold of the parts etc.. I have grounded the wire on the DT and now I need to find out how to ground out the wire on the TZR. It was so much easier, when I could go and buy a Micron, racing reeds, bigger jet, K&N, ledar induction kit and a new front sprocket (Job done)

Afternoon ladies and gents, Just wanted to do the noob bit and say hello on here! I currently ride a 125 Draggy which you can see in my avatar (hopefully). Similarly to a few members on here I'm looking into giving it a bit of a bobber-esque makeover which is coming along slowly but surely. Riding on a CBT at the moment, but I'm working my way through my DAS training. Although in all honesty I'm very happy with the little 125, so I probably won't be rushing out to buy a 1200 straight away. If anyone ever fancies a ride out, rain or shine, I'm based around Bury/Bolton. Always happy to offer any help, knowledge and advice if I can and hopefully learn a lot fr…

Hello folks! Thought i'd poke my nose in as i have starteda new project and will require some info at points i'm sure! I acquired a '76 V50 last year from a friend of my father-in-law. At the time i was building up a '76 CB125 and a teardrop trailer, so the little Yammy got left to wait it's turn. Since then (oct 2013) the little Honda got stolen and torched (which wasn't ideal), we had a baby, bought a car (Triumph Toledo), sold the car, bought an '88 CB125 and moved house. The newer Honda had an engine rebuild due to lies from the previous owner (not ideal), but i am now free to start the little V50!! So... Here i am! I'll be posting in the classic section for obv…

new to bikes. been over 20 years since i was even on a push bike! Did CBT a few days ago. Always wanted to get a bike but it never seemed to be the appropriate point in time. Jumped in today and bought a YBR along with a rushed visit to the local motorcycle shop for safety equipment. I've been a mixture of a Bull in a china shop and a wee boy in a sweetie shop the last few days. Looked at everything from CBR through Varadero, CG and everything in between; settled on YBR as a good machine to build up some much needed experience. I guess my ultimate aspirations are the Honda CB 250 or the Yamaha XS 250 - but all in good time. I have loads of questi…

Hi All, just wanted to introduce myself before jumping right in. I am very much a noob at the moment but am hugely enjoying riding. Both my Father and Brother ride so it was only a matter of time before I did. I currently have a Yamaha YBR 125 and plan to have it for a year or so before doing my full bike test. So yeah, hello and look forward to getting involved.
