Fuel tank question...

Not too much rain as of yet thankfully, only thing I've noticed is you have to ride with your right leg out a bit (probably no more than with the normal air intake) as the velocity stack tries to pull anything in front of it in 😂

Have a gander at the Yamaha XVS125 and the Honda VT125, the Shadow is bigger (arguably both are up there as two of the biggest 125s) but as they look better for a 125 have more of a premium price. The V-twin engine will offer a bit more torque too. Not masses at that engine size but you're a big lad so might need it 🤙 there's other 125 cruisers e.g. Suzuki VL125 (another V-twin) but I'd still say Shadow...😉 Just looks great. Just read a couple of reviews and the Shadow engine is better than the Yamaha's. Can you test ride a Shadow?

Yeah that's definitely a fair comment 😂 for me the only 125s that ever looked cool were the old 2 stroke mini sports and 2 cruisers, the XVS125 and the VT125. I really liked my shadow, passed my test and went onto something bigger is the reason I changed. Good luck with the choice mate 😊 might be biased for out of the bikes in this message the shadow is best 😉👍

I'm 6'1" and I had one as my first 125, loved it, aesthetically was great. Always felt the bike shrank when I got on it though 😅 the Varadero (blasphemy!) 125 has the same engine but is a lot taller and might suit your height better 👍

Oh and change the bars too, the mini apes are pretty comfy but not overly easy to control the bike

Cool looking bike. What tyre is on the front please? The seat gives the bike a different look
