They are the shittest of shite.

true because its slow. but you can sell it back to the dealer with minimal loss. and for that 4300 you can get on roads, and insurance, and helmet. perfect for someone just starting. the bike also looks pleasing to the eye.

also parts for cbr 125( fairings) are very cheap.

Its not that it is slow - it is just a small 125.

I am trying to figure out how you think you will be able to sell it back to a dealer with minimal loss? Like all bike/car dealers, the dealer has to purchase the bike back from you to onsell at market rates - hence offering you less money than the market. On top of that, and while I am yet to see any sales evidence, I do wonder what the market is for those sorts of bikes.

For $4k you can pick up a 06 GPX which is much better value IMO (even if it is a different sort of bike).

yer, i was just thinking for young people its okai.

my younger cousin sold his one back to the dealer for about 4200 dollars, but the bike was imaculate. he bought it for about 5000 with free helmet etc.

i agree there are other bikes that are also good for money. but this bike is light and easy to ride/ learn on. its like scooter pretty much lol.

i guess i was just probably talking about people out of high school and stuff. iam not as old as you guys so i dont really know to much about bigger bikes. never really ridden them. looking to purchase R6 now, but i think its still to big for me.

also you know how some people who get parents to buy there stuff ( i know a guy) he has his leaners however his parents wont allow second hand bike, so he had to settle for new bike, and he just got the cbr125, because he thinks it looks good and stuff. Basically the genral population of young people learning how to ride will buy 125rr, because it is quite appealing to them.

like us, if we were genral population we would be buying holdens and fords (and seeing them as performance track racing car). this is like the honda 125rr. just the genral market. they think its nice quick good looking bike. But better reasearch would indicate as you said a 06 GPX is a better choice. you know what i mean~

not starting argument. just saying in younger persons (genral population) view the cbr125rr is probably gonna be the choice. but someone who likes cars and performance would probably research more and get a maybe second hand or older bike. as it may have better things, power, looks etc etc and better value

Small bikes are temperamental and hard to ride.
You need torque to make it easy to ride. Something a 125 has none of.

i think there pretty easy, i learnt on a carby 125, then moved up to a fuel injected 125, which was slower actually lol.

cbr125 arent really that shit. they do have their markets. they are not the best selling small bikes over in europe for no reason.

my friend just picked hers up for 3k with 1yr rego under 900km onroad. its a perfect bike for her. i dont think she could handle a 250. its so agile to move around.

not for everyone but good bikes for what they are.

that said im riding 600s cos 250 didnt serve my needs, doesnt mean 250 are shit bikes

Neither is the Fiat500.... Small narrow dead end roads perhaps?

It should be slower. It would have been more fuel efficient though.
Injectors can't atomise the fuel as good as a carby can.
