Advice needed for biking newbie

We're talking 125cc learner bikes here. I'll bet it's easier and quicker
to do the valves on a CG125 than replace the piston on an RS.

Doing the valves on a FZR250 isn't hard, it just takes time.

 

yes. It's definetely expensive as a 125cc, one of the most expensive I
think, for maintenance costs... I've got a limited-11kw version, so I
should by the fullpower kit (300€ fp exhaust system + rave valve &
electronic discharge) to get the 34cv, because the fullpower is no more
avalaible for the italian market. Anyway it is really funny as a 125cc,
especially on short twisters, leaning becomes really easy, even for a
beginner as me. BTW Aprilia sells the SportProduction kit too, only for
races. It should get more than 40cv with that.

I've bought it just because I'm looking forward to a sport 600/1000cc,
and definetely need to learn to ride a sport bike.

I admit, I'd rather to a full engine rebuild on an LC than do the
clearances on any shim under bucket 4-stroke.

True, but you're more likely to get a shag from the bird down the chippy
with an RS125, which lets face it is one of the main reasons why most
learner bikes are bought.

#I need a little time

 

I'm basically getting the bike as the university wont let me park my car
there.. at the moment i've no intention of progressing to really high
powered machines in a few years time

If you're really only looking for a basic commuter bike that'll go
day-in day-out with minimal maintenance and for a short-ish commute,
then you do, indeed, want one of God's Own Motorcycles.

Buy a Honda CG125[1][2], and hail the Genius that was Sochiro.

[2] Not one of the foul abominations that claim adherence to the
One-True-Way, for they are shite and shall disappoint[4]
[3] And Perdition to you upstarts that would abbreviate the Holy
Incantation. May your chaincases rot in eternity.
[4] For I, lowly though I am, have seen one. And Lo! You could push it
along with the front brake fully applied. Full shite was it, and not in
A Good Way.

You are a R.E.M fan AICMFF dramatic camera poses.

 

You can't take your test on it.

Would make it cheap certainly but difficult to shift and you'd still need
to get something to take your test on.

 

"at the moment"

 

Yes you can.

 

Oh no you can't [1]

Are you? Perhaps you should have said so.

 

This isn't Durham, is it? One of my nephews there has the same problem.

 

Amen Brother!

Yea, verily, this would have been the Satanic Abomination of the Stroke
Times Two, called a CZ.

 

No, Chester

 

A lot of universitys don't have student car parking, one of the
criteria my eldest used when choosing to go to Kent was that there was
student car parking and the costs were reasonable.

 

We've got student car parking... but theres not much of it and the
university has decided to build another midwifery building over ne of the
car parks

 

<Screams>

With Unholy Pushrods?

blessed shall be the CZ and all those who ride upon them for they too
are without but the without they are with is a without of a totally
different nature and is better by far

In accordance with all things that shall stroke but twice I shall no
sign whatsoever.

May your ports transfer efficiently.

Oi kid!

Just a little thing but could please leave in some sort of "attribution"
to the post to which you are replying. It makes it a lot easier to read
and follow when the thread starts diverging.

Have a look at the ukrm ffaq and follow the links.
