monkeyjim Posted November 18, 2010 Posted November 18, 2010 Hi , I love the YBR . I bought one as my first bike in 2008 (after 20years in cars) and went on to do over 8000 miles before I part exchanged it for my XJ6 when I past my test a year latter .
NewberzYBR Posted November 18, 2010 Author Posted November 18, 2010 i love it nice bike haven't hit 300 miles yet but i do love it
Mark K Posted November 19, 2010 Posted November 19, 2010 Welcome to YOC! I love them too, on my second YBR now (first got stolen). In the 5,000 miles I've covered in the past 18 months the only problem I've had is the headlight bulb failing on both of them. The biggest drawback I've found is the british weather and how fast it changes, looked like a drowned rat when I got home yesterday as I hit a hail storm and went out without my waterproofs on!
Moderator Airhead Posted November 19, 2010 Moderator Posted November 19, 2010 Welcome Newberz... i dont love YBR's but if I had one maybe I would, They're great little bikes IMO

root Posted November 20, 2010 Posted November 20, 2010 Hi & Welcome , I just got one a few weeks back 08 with 600 miles, mint & cheap , Its a good time to buy, but the weathers not been great obviously so have not ridden it mutch & I haven't decided yet if I like it or not ? I like to be hands on , doing any any maintenance & repairs etc & avoid garage bills , but this has fuel injection & other gadgets that i'm not used to, so I guess i'll have to do some homework & study up on it if I decide to keep for more than a few months & also not keen on the skinny wheels ( ive read some bad reports on them )after fat ones on my marauder, though it's easier to get in my shed . I like that it has a side / centre stand a kicker & a rack , anyway enjoy yours ....root

You sure the wind knocked it, was ther any scumbags hanging arround ? yeah was on the centre stand i even made sure it was on properly and on a flat surface i popped into the shop for 1 minute came out and was on the floor couldnt see anyone around that was my second thought but the wind was incredibly strong them few days so unfortunatly i had to for out for a £14 indicator
