Hi o/

I'm looking into getting a 125cc bike to try and cut down on how much fuel i'm burning through each week in the daily 65 mile commute to work and back. I've always always wanted a motorbike to call my own and now not only can I get one, but it'll be paying for itself! I've been around a few bike shops and talked to new and veteran bikers in and around Kent, UK, to get a feel of what I should be looking to get both in terms of a decent bike but also the clothing and other extras. I found this website and it looks like it's a great place to hash out ideas on what to do with my bike when I get it.

From the stats and the looks I'm 90% set on getting a Yamaha 125 YBR, after seeing one up-front I wanted to ride it away there and then - shame i need my cbt first eh? ;)

I was almost - almost - convinced to go all-out and get a 600cc machine as I want to do a 200 mile ride either once a month or once every other month, maybe in time I think.

I guess that's it. So hello everyone, I hope I get to speak with you all soon!

welcome mate, really depends what style of bike your into really. I've just got back into bikes and so I'm on a 125cc, however with me being really into the "sports scene" it had to be a YZF-R125, really good looking bike, and with me being quite tall, i dont look too stupid on it, as they're practically the same size as the R6, but if that's not quite your cup of tea i would definitly say...go with the YBR, good reliable runner!!

hope you enjoy the forums pal!!

I do love that sporty bike look of the YZF-R125, it almost seduced me into getting one instead of the YBR-125. I had to remind myself that I'm not swimming in cash currently and the reason I can indulge in buying a bike now (instead of a year or two in the future) is because of the amazing economy of the YBR-125, getting onto triple my car's economy, and double of the YZF.

I'm hoping that this will save me enough cash so that I can buy a sexier sports bike to play around with after I've been riding for a couple of years and have really got to grips with being on two fewer wheels than I'm used to!
