My new wheels

[Darren_S15]

Just thought Id share my new wheels with everyone.

Don't worry its not going to replace my S15.

Its a bit of a beast with 13hp and 7.8 ft/lbs of torque :rotfl:

For anyone wondering its a 2007 Honda CBR125 RW-7.

Something Ive been wanting to do for a while and this bike is a stepping stone until I get good enough to do my full bike license and get a bigger bike

Quality little bike to ride, its pretty fun, and it does get to 70 just

Moped? Motorbike if you please, this thing does have gears you know

Yeah maybe the thread title is not the best, you could alway change it to my new ride or something more appropriate as your a mod

looks spot on for a frist bike what "bigger" bike do you fancy in the future then?

 

[Darren_S15]

A nice YZF R6, or GSXR750 would be good

Nice ride dude... How long did it take you to learn to ride by the way.. Thinking of doing my Bike Test as it goes.. someone mentioned you can do it in a week ??

 

[DeanS15]

its nice mate but it looks really weedy haha. just like a big bike, only smaller

 

[craig8585]

It just needs some wider wheels! The offsets look good on them though! :wack:

Often wondered how bikes are strapped to a dyno, and now I know.

Ive only done my CBT, passed that in a day having never ridden a bike before.

After you have that you can do your DAS (direct access) which will give you a full license.

I was planning on going straight to this bit but to be honest felt it would be better to get a little bike to get a bit better and smoother and then do the DAS.

It is a weedy version of a bigger bike :nod:

Actually modelled on the Honda Fireblade 1000cc

Everyone has to start somewhere.

Just think of it like a Fiesta 1.1 in learning to drive a car terms :rotfl:

Looks tidy mate!
Like you say, got to start somewhere.
Was actually looking at doing a direct access course myself recently, but they put the price up a couple of hundred, which put me off. It's about £800 by the time you've done a 2-3 day course.
Certainly ain't cheap getting into bikes!
By the time you get your leathers, helmet, and what not, adds up loads.
The life insurance aint cheap when you start off either.
Always fancied an R6 myself.
Mabey in another couple of years!

 

[DeanS15]

mate, i can't say anything lol. this was me ten years ago......

i did buy a vfr 400 nc30 a couple of years ago with the intention of doing te full test, but that would of been too many hobbies...so it got sold

 

[S15 SILVIA]

Ha ha.
My first road bike/chicken chaser was a yamaha dt50. Lol
Dangerously slow!!!!
Thought I was going to die every time i went out on it!
It went so slow, everyone overtook you, giving you feck all room, almost clipping the handlebars.
Loving the Nc 30s, proper retro bike!

 

[LuPix_S15]

lol Dean no way?! Superb pic!!


I'm lost on bikes... all I get told is that Hyaboosa = fast (made by Suzuki right) but the best thing for these babies are to stick it into a Westfield or summat like that haha

My wife is very grateful I've not caught the 2 wheels bug lol...



Nice one Darren buddy - have fun!!! :thumbs:

 

[craig8585]

Not bad.. These were my 'wheels' 10 years ago!... (excuse the mullet)

 

[meddler]

Me and my wheels 10 years ago.
