MrDixon Posted January 30, 2009 Share Posted January 30, 2009 Hey all ! i'm new to this whole website so first of all i would like to say a big hello to all ! i've really wanted to buy a motorcycle for a while and now i finaly can !! w00t ! As i've never road a bike on the road before, i reckon i maybe abit nervous so im unsure in what bike to get it ! i really wanted to buy a yamaha yzf r 125 but they are quite price'y and if i fall off it seems abit of a waste but they look great and i really want 1 ! In a way money isnt a issue to be honest but seems pointless if i smash it up, waste of a good bike ! anyone give me some advice weather to buy 1 or go for somethink cheaper and less nice ? luke Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderator YamaHead Posted January 30, 2009 Moderator Share Posted January 30, 2009 to the forum Luke A YZF R125 would be a great choice if you ask me! Great on petrol.....& light enough to cut your teeth on (so 2 speak). Don't waste your time worrying about falling.....cuz TBH, it happens to even the best of us. Certainly wouldn't hurt to take a Motorcycle safety course if available, either. Just take your time.....ride @ your own level......& don't hesitate to ask questions when needed. Best of Luck mate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderator Airhead Posted January 30, 2009 Moderator Share Posted January 30, 2009 Hi Luke, yes get the bike you would feel good on, its no use being negative about falling off, like yamahead said do the training and learn fast, then enjoy your bike this summer.

Moderator drewpy Posted January 30, 2009 Moderator Share Posted January 30, 2009 you'll have to take a CBT first before you "hit" the road. so that should give you confidence. the problem with 125's second hand is that they are usually butchered by the users as they don't know any difference. my first 125 was a box of bits and I had to rebuild it before i could ride it (KH125 to the forum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah mate,go for it.The power is unlikely to kill you and in the off chance it does, atleast you were on the bike you like. Just kidding,buy the YZF, I am still hoping the came to Oz. HAVE A BLAST!
