hi fellow bikers / boys and girls i am aged 55 and had 250 hondas etc 30 odd years ago . i never had the confidence to take the test although i now drive 44ton artic lorries . i am going back to a bike and have to be on l/s and have a 125 as you all know . am i too old for a cbr 125 this is the only 125 that i like the look and feel of what do you all think ?

thanks terry

 

hey there Terry and welcome!! :-)

It's not about if you are too old for the 125, it's all you can ride for now ... I think you should just enjoy your 125 and forget about what anyone does or doesn't think ... it's a bike and fun at the end of the day, if you like the looks then that is even better :-)

When you pass your test it will be easy to sell on too :-)

Good luck and enjoy the forums!!

Steve, in my country 30 years ago you could ride 250cc bikes on a provisional license,
today however a learner is restricted to a 125cc machine until he passes his test ...
it is all he is allowed to ride for now :-)

There's plenty of 125cc's here in Norway. A lot of them look like kids bikes, with plastic everywhere. Meaning, they're small.

However, you do have some 125cc's that rival the big boys in terms of frame size.

Something you should think about. I've owned a 110cc dirt bike once, an el-cheapo, but the thing is, it looked like a 500cc bike (minus the engine). Fit me well.

I don't know how the 125 CBR's look like in regards to size, but If it fits your body frame, go for it.

It's not always about power under the hood, it's also about the riding experience. What's the use of having a 1200cc bike if you don't like driving it?

Good luck on finding your bike. I got my fingers crossed for ya!
