Default hello there

hello all. well i finally got my first bike, to bad i bought it in the middle of winter. I just purchased a 2008 honda cbr 125r. considering i've never driven a bike before in my life i think this will be a perfect starting point and hopefully it'll be cheap on insurance.


this pic was taking by the dealer i bought it from but I'll be sure to post plenty once it gets here. Name:  VP2390647_1_large.jpg

welcome to CBRF

this bike looks good. it has a very aggressive look for being 125. very nice.
it is going to be a perfect learner. you will want to upgrade very soon.

make sure to take the MFS course. you can learn a lot there..

thanks, the bike will be going straight into storage for the winter, cause i don't even have my license yet, I'm kind f forced to take the course, because nobody up here will insure you without it. but even so i'd take it anyway just for the added, peace of mind. i've already had the dealer change the front sporket to 14t and I want to trhough some rim tape on it, but i can't decide if i want white, or an ice blue.

Welcome to the forum !
Great looking bike.
I'd fit the ice blue trim - I have white rims and they are a pain to keep clean......and change the colour on your front brake discs to match

Do you mean the rotors or the calipers cause the calipers at gold and the rotors are normal color, it's just a weird camera effect that. Makes them look rusted.
