I'm riding a Derbi GPR125 racing on my cbt, been riding for 4 years now. Thinking of doing my full test at the start of next year. Best 125cc bike on the road in my opinion.

I've got a Vespa ET4, although it was nicked a few weeks ago and is currently in a compound in Stretton waiting for a lazy insurance company to come and inspect the damage some little scrotes did. So I may or may not get that back.

I've temporarily replaced it with a Kawasaki ER5 whilst I wait for my insurance to come through and then I will go back to a scooter. Probably a Vespa PX200 and look to fit a 210 kit to it.

Afraid I have to disagree! The two best 125s are the YZF125R because it looks gorgeous with a full size frame and commands a lot of road respect for a 125 (it is also the fastest), and the Honda XL125 Varadero is excellent. Firstly because it is big enough for a human to ride, unlike the CBR125 and secondly because it is a V-twin so sounds like a real bike!

Although 6ft 1in i have a 34 inside leg, and just don't feel comfortable on sports bikes, i look like Donkey Kong does on a cart

I've had a few over the years... Passed my bike test when I was 17 (16 years ago now) on my TZR125....then I went onto RGV250, CBR600 and GSXR750...

Not had a bike for about 7/8 years now... But I am getting one around march of next year.... Looked at quite a few options.... I have a mate In Preston who has a second hand bike business and he has let me ride all sorts... I have decided to go for a ZX9R Ninja....can't wait to get it now... I'm spending loads of time on eBay watching how much they are going for.

Quote: the flying biscuit "Passed my Bike test (part 2) around Jan/Feb 1985 !!
I passed on my Red Yamaha RD 125LC it was beauty…. Only bettered by My 350 version, the Yamaha rd 350 LC YPVS, or Elsie as she was known. Before passing my test I had the most fun ever on my Suziki ER 50 road legal/Trials bike. Just built to be abused…

My last bike I had over ten years ago now, it was a kawazaki ZXr 750... that was one fast motha … I was told it would do 160 mph……I can vouch that that estimate was pretty damn accurate.

But I haven’t ridden since I realised I was too often driving right on my skill limit. Me and a mate where doing the Bala Trawsfynned race…oopps sorry the Bala Trawsfynned Road, I had left him well behind on his Yam 400 and I took a hump in the road that fast I took off and landed on the opposite carriageway It was one of those moments when the bravado is interrupted by moments of Feck me I could have killed myself…

I’ve got a family now and quite Rightly my missus reminds of that When we are at traffic lights next to a bike and I utter the words “I DO like those Ducati’s”'"


I also used to have a 350 LC... i used to love that powerband... 2 strokes were so much fun.. did you ever ride an RG500? now that was what i call a powerband.... absolute animal of a 2 stroke.

The biking bug never leaves you... i had a pretty bad crash on my CBR600.. a car pulled out right infront of me when i was doing about 50.. the bike bounced off the wing... i hot the windscreen at an angle.. i skimmed off it and went sideways through someones wooden fence... i lay there in a big pile of leaves with my bike about 2 inches from my head with no front end... i got away with a few bruises...

another time i was pushing my RGV250P to the max round a corner.. back end slightly out... when i hit a grid.. the bike spun a full 360 down the other side of the road.. luckily there was no cars coming

when i get my ZX9R I wont be riding it like that anymore.... the days of pushing bikes to the max are long gone....

I could talk about bikes and bike stories all day... anyway.. here are all the bikes i have ever owned in order (not the actual bikes.. but as close as damn it)

Susuki TS 50 X.. passed my CBT and bought this bad boy... put a micron can on it... got it re-bored.. up jets, racing reeds... 65MPH downhill with my head on the tank


350LC... great powerband..iconic bike now... worth loads... i blew mine up by redlining it to much


RGV250P... the closet thing at the time to a track bike.. this was a grey import from Japan... it stuck to the road like glue and had a powerband that kicked in at 11,000rpm.. it outhandled anything


CBR600... didnt really like this one to much.. i thought it was going to be a bit faster.. also didnt like the riding position


cant wait to get one of these next


motorbikes = good times

The RG 500 Gamma I had a picture of that on my bedroom Wall for a while www.fs1e.co.uk/

Weirdly looking at this thread I have been thinking about getting back on a bike, I passed my test way back in 1986 on a Suzuki GP100 (red with yellow stripe 70mph down Alder Lane in Burtonwood with a tail wind). Before that (at 16) I had a Yamaha TY50 trials bike and a Kawasaki AR50 that unfortunately used to catch fire from time to time.

Only really nostalgic for the old sports peds though, re-living the days when me and my mates used to hang around on DT50s, MB5s, Fizzies, X1s and AP50s. Thinking about buying one to renovate as my eldest lad is not too far from being old enough to ride one. A renovated Fizzy pre 1977 can sell for over £3k now!

The little two strokers are so much sheer fun. Like a fat girl, great to ride but a bit embarrassing to be seen on.

Good sites;
