So you think you want a motorcycle? (7 Viewers)

I posted a vid of someone blowing out his rear tyre on a cbr, looked like a 125.

 

[Azamakumar]

lol cbr125s must be selling good

there must be a lot of cunts out there

bikes are going to be heaps expensive next year imo
onset of EFI 250's has pushed prices above the 8-8.5 mark, without other charges
kawasaki will push the price of their 250 up a tad, just cos they can, while staying competitive
iirc the cbr125 goes at 6.5-7 ride away
yamaha set at 7 + onroads
gsxr won't be the cheapest thing in the paddock
imo if hyosung keeps prices down the 250's will move like hotcakes

 

[SnowFox]

How good are hyosung bikes?

 

[Azamakumar]

mine lasted 2 months before the battery kicked it

 

[SnowFox]

Did you find out what happened to your bike btw?

 

[CIV1501]

lol srs?
i havent seen a cbr125 for more than $5k
hyos are still $7k max, 09s non efi going brand new for 6 lol idk there is still a big market and plenty of bikes around, competition from these cheap 125s will help imo

 

[Azamakumar]

expecting a call tomorrow, hopefully will just be a blown fuse
that they have in stock
and covered by warranty
if not, fuuuuuuuu

 

[Azamakumar]

cant find prices for the EFIs online
one listing for a new (lol) 08 for 6.6 rideaway
they were introduced at above 8, was told that when i got mine

That still doesnt explain that sound you described.


BTW i just saw pics of the YZR125.

If it wasnt for the engine size, i might finance the bastard.

Funny Suzuki wasnt mentioned.
then again they tend to do things their own way as usual.

Back on topic..
With the Honda CBR125 I dont think they look that fucked. If your planning to own one put your money into ground effect lights, a loud, pimped out, fat exhaust, and some nice decal work, and nobody will notice your faggy tires.

If they're bringing over so many 125 options I would hate to see Aus adopt the UK licencing scheme :x

Unless you restrict use to suburban / city commuting I don't see the point to 125s, even then a 250 with more grunt would be my preference

 

[CIV1501]

wot is the pom scheme

 

[quik.]

Have to spend a year (or two? I forget) on a 125, then you get bumped up a class spend time on that, etc

They allow you to restrict to the equivalent power output though. You can buy a 600 and restrict it... won't be much fun lol but you can do it

 

[SnowFox]

Stupid part supplier didnt bring in my parts.

Have to wait till monday now.

how did i forget the EFI vtr to hit the market
that should keep things interesting with the gt250rs, it wont come cheap though
i reckon they could milk more cash out of people not wanting to by hyo's just cos of the name


EDIT: had a chat a few pages back about cbrs
not too bad if you keep em to the city
easy to filter, light and flickable
look good too
i can see their purpose
