GREAT FIRST BIKE OR EVEN SECOND FOR COMMUTING

“GREAT FIRST BIKE OR EVEN SECOND FOR COMMUTING”

BOUGHT MY 2007 YAMAHA 125X JUST UNDER A MONTH AGO AND ALL I CAN SAY IS WHY GET ANYTHING ELSE IF ALL YOU WANT IS SOMETHING FUN, PRACTICAL AND ECONOMICAL TO GET AROUND TOWN. CHEAP TAX CHEAP INSURANCE AND CHEAP TO RUN ARE ALL MORE REASONS TO GET ONE OF THESE. MINE HAS HAD A COUPLE OF SIMPLE MODS LIKE FULL NEW DEP EXHAUST SYSTEM AND THE REV LIMITER BEING BYPASSED (GREEN AND BLACK WIRE BEHIND THE SPEEDO CLOCKS CUT AND EARTHED TO THE FRAME)BIKE DOES 80MPH EASILY AND GETS THERE QUICKER THAN MOST CARS ON THE ROAD. ONLY DOWN SIDES WITH THIS BIKE IS THE SEAT IS A LITTLE HARD WHICH IS NOT IDEAL FOR LONG JOURNEYS AND THE ABSENCE OF A REV COUNTER AND FUEL GAUGE. MY ADVICE IS FILL THE TANK, RESET THE IDOMETER AND DRIVE THE BIKE AS YOU NORMALLY WOULD UNTILL YOUR FUEL RUNS OUT, MAKE A NOTE OF THE MILEAGE AND SWITCH THE FUEL TAP TO RESERVE TO GET YOURSELF TO THE NEAREST PETROL STATION. ALL ROUND GREAT BIKE AND WOULD DEFINATELY RECOMMEND GETTING ONE IF YOUR LOOKING IN THE 125 MARKET.
