General Comments

If you want to look cool while learning, this Yamaha XVS 125 Dragstar is the bike. Lots of chrome and looks like a "real bike", not a hair dryer. Makes a good sound even on its standard pipes and if you want to customise it, there are loads of cool add-ons on the web.

It goes pretty well for a relatively heavy 125 in town but does run out of puff at 60-65mph. It's very eye catching and people never believe its a 125. I am always getting engaged in conversation with other bikers at the lights.

As it's a cruiser, it isn't the best for weaving in and out of the traffic! The width of the bike means you will wait in traffic more often, as kids on scooters whizz past, but at least the seat is nice and comfortable.
