madaboutthe30 Posted May 10, 2008 Share Posted May 10, 2008 Hey guys Id just like to say hi to everyone and share my dilemma with you guys, perhaps some of you could guide me in the right direction. Im 20 and have owned my xvs125 for a good year and a half. I hardly ride it but pamper it away in the garage and those spring and summer months its out the garage definetly are some of my best days Time has come though where Im considering to sell it, if I could get more power out of it, I would keep it, however if I cant I would rather just sell it. Selling it and buying a larger engined bike isnt an option because I dont have my full licence and being a student dont want to fork out the money for the theory, lessons................... So here is the question: Can I get more power out of my xvs 125???? I have searched on the web but couldnt find any solid information Ps my budget is 200-400 Look forward to hearing from you guys George Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yoda Posted May 10, 2008 Share Posted May 10, 2008 There are three ways to get more power from your 125. Turbo supercharging, NO2, high performance petrol. All are expensive so forget it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShoKz Posted May 10, 2008 Share Posted May 10, 2008 why does every person on the forum with a 125 want to make it very fast, i imageine you are on a provisional aswell just wait and get a big bike would be the sensable thing to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A cheap option. buy tow rope ,attach to 125, connect other end to willing R6, hang on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

R1evad Posted May 12, 2008 Share Posted May 12, 2008 Lol that would be a ride lol You still gonna need to spend a shed load on the brakes though, coz the first time the r6 guy/ gal throws the anchor, you are giong to be a double act in a hospital pantomime Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, it's always want fast but don't have any money. Better off spending that £200-£400 getting the full licence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kennyboy Posted May 12, 2008 Share Posted May 12, 2008 Hi I agree why the rush to go fast, also heres a thought if you want a fast bike even for a 125 then why get a cruiser? I am struggling on what to buy as my next bike at the end of the year I love the look of crusiers but I still dont know what to get, virago or dragstar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kniller Posted May 14, 2008 Share Posted May 14, 2008 Get the Dragstar!!! Bigger, Wider, Sleeker, Lower and much much Cooler! My other half has the virago and I have a dragstar. wouldn't swap in a million years! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rider Posted May 15, 2008 Share Posted May 15, 2008 you bought the cruiser, you cruise thats the point 5th gear low revs lol. But i do know how you feel ive had mine since 2002, it does get a bit fustrating with head winds & stuff when you just aint got the power you want. Do your test buy a fatboy lol happy riding Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aced Up Posted May 15, 2008 Share Posted May 15, 2008 I understand peeps wanting to make their 125 scream faster.. faster into the corners etc. Used to outrun all the big bikes into the corners with my MITO... But the cheaper oprion would be to buy a bigger bike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
