RE: Need advice on 125R
Actually my tires are very fat on my scooter..

The thing can be tuned, with a new controller computer, to do about 115kph with an upgraded muffler.
Its a 12.5:1 49cc 2 stroke with a compressor is why it can rip like that.
The thing is, I regularly get it up to about 85 and even at that mediocre speed the small diameter of the wheels combined with the scooter's mediocre suspension makes for a rather bouncy ride. Perfectly controllable, but kinda lame.
A friend has one tweaked out do do 130kph with a 70cc cylinder.
The main thing I'm looking for is a combination of 110kmh+ speeds with a very smooth ride that is suitable to long distances of 100 or so kilometers.
I honestly would prefer something in the 250 range- but it has to be a sportbike, and that pretty much sticks me with either the CBR 125R, the ZZR, which is crapp, or the Ninja250R which is hard to find.
I could also get an Aprilia RS125 2T, which is freaking rediculously powerful for what it is (0-100kph in about five seconds or less). It's also built like a tank, and costs over $12 000... whereas a Ninja250 can be had for just over $4000US with everything included... Not that the N250 is as good a bike...
Basically, 115kph is cool with me- but I wanna be able to do it into the wind, going up hill. Honestly I'd like something that has about 25-30Nm of torque and weighs less than 350lbs in a sportbike configuration...
If there are any models I've missed please lemme know...

RE: Need advice on 125R
I just bought a cbr 125 2 months ago just passed my course and have only been out on my a couple of times they are great bikes to learn on shifting gears on them is really jerky though. Does not handle well in the wind especially for me because I only weigh 105 pounds. I think I might sell mine because it doesn't feel comfortable to drive. The seats are very uncomfortable for me I just touch flat foot on the ground standing or sitting my legs are in the same position on the bike. The 250 ninja's are a really nice bike you can find them eveywhere here. I live in St thomas ontario Canada. I see them everywhere. I'm not a short person 5'6 I'm a little scared to ride in the rain because they are such a light bike and don't get stuck behind a big truck it will blow you everywhere. My husband drove mine on the highway on a windy day and he weighs 185 pounds and he had problems keeping it from blowing around. I would suggest going with something with more weight to it. I hope this helps a bit
