Hey there everyone,

My names Liam, I'm just coming into the biking scene and wanted to make it official by joining the owners club.

I'm getting a 2010 YBR125 on Friday and am absolutely extatic!

I have had a bike before, about three years ago. It was a Lonjia Madness 125 (chinese scooter). It was cool, but had loads of little annoying things like the battery compartment leaked an would fill up with water! I ended up drilling holes in it for drainage! also, the exhaust mounts snapped and was hanging off. Had o weld it back together...

Eventually my CBT ran out, I passed my driving test, bought a car and never had a bike again...

But now, I've re-done my CBT in March this year, passed my motorcycle theory and am going down to the motorbike shop today to fill out the paper work etc for the bike, get my helmet and chain etc and the bike will be ready to go Friday!

So i'll keep you posted on my progress and upload pics as soon as.

Anyone got any general tips/advice?

Also are there any 125 riders around London/Essex areas? (East London, woodford, buckhurst hill, loughton, leyton, hackney etc?) That's where I'm from...

Hi Liam, welcome to the forum,

YBR125 is a good bike had one for a brief spell and couldn't really fault it.

I suggest you have a read of this thread because there is some good advice about good/safe/smart riding tips by Cynic, Gas-up lets go and ttaskmaster on there.

Hey andy, thanks man.

Yeah I hope it does the business to.

Your bike is looking sweeeeeet! Though mate!

When I saw it I was like...wow, that looks cool man!

I went for the ybr really cause there were some good deals on it and from reading up on reviews etc, it does really well on m2tg. Which is what I need right now.

Had a bit of extra cash to get the bike cause I just sold my car and I managed to get a bike off of one of my mates who crashed his, so I took it off him, repaired and sold it. Kawasaki zzr600 '93 model. I was gonna keep it, but I'm no ready for it if I'm honest. Had a few goes out, but I need more experience till I get to that level, so I went for a nice learner legal instead

I've always wanted a bandit ever since I can remember. I think it was the first bike I fell in love with.

I remember seing a naked turquoise kinda greeny coloured one parked outside this office building where I used to work about. Four years ago and I've wanted one ever since.

What's it like to ride?
