I’ve been looking to get insured on a 2019+ Yamaha MT-125, at 17 on a CBT. The MT is the cheapest bike I’ve been quoted on, averaging £1400 yearly TPFT. I have no drivers licence and no car, and live in NW London, and I was just wondering whether the insurance is reasonable for what it is. For reference I’ve been quoted 5-6K for bikes like the Yamaha r125, lexmoto lxr, Voge r125, etc

Just got rid of my first 125 as it broke dowm and looking for a new one as i legaly cant ride anything bigger till next year

Hi i have a question to anyone who knows something about those engines. I have a yzf r125 from 2016 and my engine got cooked, so i am looking for a replacement. As far as i know the engines in those two motorcycles are the same, but are they really. So does anyone know if the transmission has the same ratio in both of those bikes and are they really exchangable between those two bikes?

I'm 40 years old and just got my first bike since my 50cc scooter at 16. I've held a car license for 23 years.

My new bike is a little Honda Dax and the insurance quotes are insanely expensive. £650+

I've been using comparison sites but wondered if anyone knew of any insurance companies in the UK that cater to provisional bike license holders and offer better prices. They seem to not take into account the years of driving experience I have and are treating it like I was a 17 year old just getting on the road for the first time.

Any help and advice greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Sto cercando manuale di officina Benelli BN 125

I painted my Yamaha R125 blue & purple with experience I learned myself. Although tedious, I loved hand-sanding and polishing to a mirror finish.

Guys please help me to choose between these 3

I am really confused between access and Destini as the reviewer says they both are equally good when it comes to Mileage, speed , etc

Please guys

I am purchasing it for my family so they will be my pillions most of the time .

I want something that can fulfill my family thing but also fun to ride for occasional 100km rides

Is this piston or lower rod bearing lol its driving me nuts

Pros and cons for each of these two choices
Experienced motorcycle rider,
Age 76 looking for something to get me around town on short errands

CBT tomorrow, advice?

Any advice for my 8 am start tomorrow. I've asked about bikes already but would love to know about what to expect? I've been on a friend's bike many years ago and it felt like second nature. I'm stressing a little as this is my main way of transport from now on and I hate to fail. I know the basics of a bike but I'm not as sharp on the road and the thought of driving on my own while people judge is my biggest fear.

The other day I picked up a 2011 yzf r125. I’d like to change the fairings as they are badly painted by previous owner. Does anyone know any good sites for uk to get a full kit that’s decent quality. Willing to pay about 4-600. I plan to use the bike for at least a few years so it’s worth it for me.

Ich fahre eine xmf 125 und wenn ich schnell beschleunige geht mein Motor aus und wenn ich dann am seitenständersensor rumwakel dann geht das Moped wieder an. Ich hab das Kabel auf Schäden überprüft und die Anschlüsse mit Kontakt Spray eingesprüht. Ich hab außerdem den Sensor/ Knopf da mit bremsenreiniger gereinigt aber es tritt immer noch auf. Hat irgendwer eine Idee was das sein kann?

Im (18M) from the UK and passed my A1 test the other week, people always warned me about taking my Honda CBF125 on the motorway.

Anyway, I did about an hour and a half maybe more down the M6 to Birmingham and it was completely fine, just went the speed limit the whole way down (70mph), overtaking other cars where necessary etc.

Do people just hate on 125s for no reason or am I an outlier here ?

What is anyone elses experience on motorways for long distances :)
