    My ride

    Though I'd post this here.

    Can't afford a car, but I got meself a little bike.



    It's a Kawasaki AR125. Tiny engine, but it only weighs about 120KG.

    0-60 takes around 7 seconds when it's running nicely, and it tops out at an indicated 90mph, though it feels a lot faster.

    Hoping to get a cheap 400 once i've got the cash, and done my test.

    Here's a dodgy picture of me looking stupid while chasing my brother in his puma.

    That looks quite... scary

    Good bike to learn on though no doubt, but watch out in these conditions!

    Cool Out of interest, do you remember what yours topped out at? I still don't think this one is runnig quite right.

    Yeah it's great fun So far it's not been too icy, and it seems fine in the rain, just I can't see anything

    I used to cross Caversham bridge every day to go from Tilehurst to Henley where I worked for 2.5yrs.

    Currently got a primera, however, I'm now looking for a Clio Sport 172.

    Cool

    I say i'm looking at getting a 400, but then again, it's not going to be sooner than may.

    Think you'll get one soonish? That would be fun for the summer

    Thumbs up

    Nice one, m8 of mine used to have an AR125 ('bout 11/12 years ago!). Started off blue, then we painted it in the old ZXR750 colours (green white and blue, the white also had pearl added), then it ended up metallic blue in the end. Had a rebore and piston, some porting work, RamAir kit with a Nikon race exhaust off a TZR125 grafted on and other bits and bobs...went rather well but i always preferred my MBX125...

    This was a while ago now, going back about 7 years. I am sure it used to do 85ish top whack. I don't know what the top speed of was, but it was a great little bike.
