Default 125's are fun too......................

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

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

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.

And so you should. It seems I've started a trend

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

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