If the numbers are to be believed (in the vid he says 193hp, I've heard 18x as well), this thing has over a 1:1 hp to kg ratio with a full system on it.

The drive out of corners gives me a bit of a semi.

Im buying a Honda CBR125r soon for my L's, is that any good since my budget its in between 2-4K?

BTW, i did the practice DKT test on the RTA site with only a quick speedread of both manuals and scored a 100%, how do people fail it?

The cbr125 is a bit of a joke, horribly underpowered. You'll get bored of/used to the 'power' of a 250 quickly, let a lone a 4 stroke 125.

It is a good choice for complete novices (cheap, very light, if you accidentally fuck up there isn't really much power there to bite you) and city commuting (very thin so you can filter easy as, something crazy like 3-400km from a tank) though.

Before you get a 125, how much do you weigh and how tall are you?

There is not one reason to choose the CBR125 over any 250cc motorcycle. The CBR125 is the worst motorcycle you can buy in Australia today. Get a used CB250 or something.

i have a budget of 4K which will include 3rdparty insurance, greenslip, licensing and the bike itself with a helmet.

I dont have much of a choice as to what im getting.

Yeah you do man, $4k is a fortune. Look at used 250's around 10-15 years old. Look at what's on ebay for under $4000. You can get a GN250 for $2000 on road easy, and it'll be much better than the CBR125.

Cee Bee too thrifty.

Looking on bike point and net rider, id may aswell buy a offroader and see it get road registered.
