Default Hi New to biking in general

Hi people.
I got my first bike in November. CBR 125 2013. Fresh out the box. Thanks you honda 0% finance. I'm not tech savy and I don't know my way (mechanically) around a bike yet.
I'm you're average CBT passed newbie. I have driven a car for 10 years so used to the road but have always wanted to get on a bike. My confidence is growing with every ride. Good to have found a forum to read up on the ins and outs of riding. Plan to get more experience this year and take the tests. Been doing my theory practice for a while now. One question, if anyone knows the answer. My friend bought me the Haynes manual for Christmas but before peeling off the plastic I noticed that the years were 04-10. Obviously mine is a '63 plate. Is there a manual for mine? As I can't find it on the internet and I think it might be useful. Or is everything pretty much transferable from the manual I have.

Anyway if you read this far thanks. Off to read some more posts now
Ben

I don't know if they made any major updates to your bike from '10 to '13. You'll have to figure that out. It could be that some small changes were made to the bodywork and what not, but the motor is identical, or vice versa.

Welcome to the forum. I'm always happy to read that someone else has gotten bitten by the riding bug. It sounds like you're well on your way. Enjoy your motorcycle. You should post some pictures.

Welcome to the CBR Forum and the world of two wheels!

Enjoy your riding, wear all the safety gear (ATGATT) and be safe out there. Post some pictures of your 125 when you have a chance, I have a soft spot for the bike.

Cheers, SB

Hi Ben welcome to the forum.
I can't help about the manual but hopefully someone else can.
Good luck with the bike tests and getting your full bike license. :-D
