Was out on the wee TW125 yesterday then again last night

Only had it for a year and this was only the 4th time on it so it was a kinda decision time as whether to keep it or trade up to somethin a wee bit bigger/kinda same style of bike.

I find that after gettin used to the kinda slow acceleration & slowish top speed (takes me about 5 mins to acclimatise), jeeeeeze, these wee bikes are hilarious fun :shock:

They can really be "chucked" round the tightest of corners and if kept wound up, they handle reasonably well

Moral of the story - am keepin the wee bike - going to try and get out on it more often :D

Wont get an argument from me. I was going to sell my wee cbr but I chave so much fun on it I'm keeping it. Said in a previous post that I've had the knee down - **** myself at the time as I wasn't expecting it.

Absolute braw fun but just wish the acceleration was a wee bit better.

I used to have a TW125 and it rocked in town - real urban guerilla hooligan machine, brilliant for dodging through traffic and taking shortcuts (hey, if pedestrians can invade my turf....). And being wee, it certainly helped build my confidence on 2 wheels. So much so that I had to tone it down for my big test :oops:

Apart from mounting traffic islands, the nearest I got to off-roading it was when I dropped it in my flower bed :lol:
