Hello from the UK...
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.

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...

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?
