Hi everyone - nice to find what seems like such a great forum! I recently passed my test on my new CBR125 (which I still love). I have decided to keep it for 2 years (while I'm restricted to 33BHP) and then probably look at a CBR600 which I have always liked. In the meantime I will be looking for ways to improve the performance of the 125, so if anyone has any good ideas I'd definitely like to hear them... I've heard a micron scorpion can is a good way to start - any thougts?

Looking forward to getting to know you all...

Welcome to the board! Congrats on your test. You'll have to post some pics of this CBR125. I don't think we have them over here so I'm completely in the dark on performance mods on that model. Anubis might be able to help -- he's from the You Kaye also.

 

Yes... post the pictures. I'd like to see it. That would suck to be restricted as to what bike you could buy/ride.

 

Welcome to the family.

Thanks for the warm welcome... this is a pic I found of the bike (mine is identical)...

As you can see it's like the "little brother" CBR... lol But it's really fun to ride and handles excellently. I've ordered a new can for it from micron. As for performance, I think any real gain is a bit of a myth, but one thing I do know is the sound is awesome! I heard one today at the honda dealership and it seriously sounds like a 400 so that's pretty cool. I'm still surprised how good mine sounds with the can that came with it - seems to be a lot deeper and more "bike-like" than most 125s - it is four stroke though...

hi and welcome to are family injoy ok

 

Nice... they should sell them here too... I'd love to get one for my wife. That would be the perfect started bike for her.

 

Hello & Welcome!!

 

Welcome to the Boards Iceman

I`d start with a can like you suggested that`ll open her up a little and improve the sound a little for ya, for other things it depends on money and whether you want to stay at 33bhp or not if ya know what i mean theres plenty can be done if you wanted too.

Where ya at?
