alanscout Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 hello from sunny west midlands! Well, i pick up my new (really new) YBR 125 custom this coming saturday after an 8 month lay off, and my previous bikes included a suzuki marauder, a honda lead 100, a jinlun 125 cruiser, a hysong hyper that I used to get from york to worcseter on a number of occasions (the last one almost killed me...) and my very first bike 6 years ago, a piaggio zip 50 that would do 50 with my 17 stone on the bike.... So i'm a little excited, as this is my first ever new bike, despite my 40th coming up. Hoping to learn about maintenance this time to save a little money, and may be asking a few questions around after market bits, but at the moment amd just glad to have found this community. Bye for now! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alanscout Posted March 31, 2012 Author Share Posted March 31, 2012 Well, its here... Must apologise for the weather in the midlands, gotta be my fault for collecting a new bike! rode for about 20 miles to get a feel but being very careful as the new tyres feel a little slick - i understand its the release agent for the tyre moulds. bedding in a bike is a new experience, but this one is just as much a head turner as the suzuki was, albeit with wheels about half as wide!
