Hey Guys!! I'm new to the whole bike scene and thought i better find some guys with all the knowledge i'll need!

Just bought a CBR 125 R 2013 as my first bike, Not sure if it's the right bike in you're eyes but i didn't want to get something too powerful with as little experience as i have.

It's brand new, straight out the showroom all stock and black.

No pictures atm but im sure you guys have seen them before anyways

Any advice?

Cheers

 

Welcome!

You've come to the right place. Lot's of experience for you to learn from.
Is the 125 the right bike? For a new rider, yes. You have a lot to learn about riding, and a small displacement bike is perfect.

Glad you're on two wheels! It's about time....

 

haha Yup! i couldn't agree more... I've been putting it off to be honest but the temptation was always there. just glad I've got one now, one of the best decisions I've made!!

 

Now you will need to have a motorcycle forever. Never sell your bike, unless it's to get the money to buy another immediately.

 

For the amount i paid, i don't plan on selling any time soon haha

 

Welcome to the CBR Forum Mackie,

Wise words from Demon above! Learning how to ride on a small capacity bike actually makes you a better rider in the long run because you learn how to keep corner speed up.

I have a soft spot for the Honda 125s, having ridden over 3,000 km on one - with Mrs SB on another - through Vietnam last year. We had a ball on them.

Remember All The Gear All The Time (ATGATT).

Be safe out there

Cheers, SB

 

Welcome to CBRF! There's nothing wrong with a 125 as your first bike. I'm glad the "bug" has bit you too, as it has everyone here.

 

Welcome to CBRF... The 125 is an excellent learning platform... Light enough to throw around, yet quick enough to raise your pluse... Just take it slow and don't outride your ability... Invest in good gear to wear and always wear your gear... Every biker is allergic to tarmac... A motorcycle safety course is the best place to learn the basics... Experience will come with seat time... Enjoy the bike, but respect the power... You'll do just fine... Be safe, Ride your own ride...
