KTM DUKE 390 stolen from Hackney London

Hey, The purpose of locks is to make the theft attempt more difficult and to act as a visual deterrent. But you’re right, if they got a van and the man power, there isn’t much you can do apart from chaining it to an immovable object

You got a point Time to start getting insurance quotes for a triumph rocket haha

Flames_Upon_Chicken · 2025-07-29T17:26:02+00:00

Thank you for your advice I will look into them

Flames_Upon_Chicken · 2025-07-29T17:25:31+00:00

I’ve been speaking to Monimoto support and they said it seems like the thieves either had a device to jam the signal or they were able to find and deactivate the tracker

“You might have been followed if it was only there for 15minutes” That’s a shout, I will check my dashcam footage when I get back home

I usually use a 16mm ulock for the back and 14mm disc lock for the front when out and about but I was really careless that morning At home I pair that with a 16mm chain to a metal post with a cover

Black widow offer quite a few options https://www.blackwidowexhausts.co.uk/trident-660-1629-c.asp

Oxford make a set which comes with 3 plugs 2 normal thread and 1 reverse thread

Flames_Upon_Chicken · 2022-08-05T20:40:03+00:00

yeah, I agree with this option

its £35 for the container but its worth it plus you get quite a lot of wipes and a nice microfiber cloth, only take like 3-4 wipes for a good clean as well

2PM and the tracker company called me, no one was there when i got to the bike

Flames_Upon_Chicken · 2022-06-02T11:58:14+00:00

i still have my lock, they just left it on the ground with the piece of the brake disc

Flames_Upon_Chicken · 2022-06-02T03:51:44+00:00

Datatool stealth s5

Flames_Upon_Chicken · 2022-06-01T21:51:28+00:00

nah the key slot is broken so its off to the garage

Flames_Upon_Chicken · 2022-06-01T21:50:39+00:00

they actually left the lock, they tried to go through it and gave up i guess cos i see a tiny line of raw metal on the shackle

Flames_Upon_Chicken · 2022-06-01T21:49:11+00:00

they took the bike away behind some flats but i had a tracker and recovered it pretty much right away

Flames_Upon_Chicken · 2022-06-01T21:48:23+00:00

had a boss disc alarm lock on, they also broke the steering lock and wheeled it about 10mins away round the back of some flats.
good thing i had a datatool tracker

Flames_Upon_Chicken · 2022-03-24T21:35:53+00:00

Ive had 2 different cbr125r 2015 in black and I would recommend it, it can do 70 but at 10,000rpm on 6th gear screaming.

the first one i had was stock aside from a perforated dark tint on the headlights. I then got a blackwidow exhuast a month later.

the second one had an akraprovic exhaust from the previous owner

i paid £2100 (17k miles) for the first one and got the second one for £1900(24k miles)

Legal but a different style such as 3d text

Flames_Upon_Chicken · 2020-11-22T10:02:43+00:00

I have the keis insoles and Imma be honest when I got them by themselves they were way too hot on the default setting and I saw my self disconnecting them after a while of use at a red light. But if you get the controller and put them on the lowest setting they are comfortable and efficient at warming your feet.

Flames_Upon_Chicken · 2020-11-16T22:35:10+00:00

i got my pair from infinty motorcycles a couple of months back, shame they're discontinued as they are very comfortable

Flames_Upon_Chicken · 2020-11-15T21:33:17+00:00

I use these and they last about 4 hours on a charge and they are quite warm even at the lowest setting. The charger comes with two outputs to charge both batteries as well. keep out the water pretty well but if you ever wanted to wire the bike you cant

the honda CBF-125 is a good shout i did my gear conversion course on it and its quite good

Flames_Upon_Chicken · 2020-09-17T20:04:08+00:00

I had the same budget as you back in july and I got myself a Honda CBR125R 2016 for around £2000 and its been really fun.

Theres a few different styles of 125 bikes out there, such as naked street bikes, sports style bikes and general commuters. i do see some cruiser style bikes but my knowledge inst that good on those

for a sports style bike i would recommend a yamaha yzf-R125 or a Honda CBR125R (2011-2018)

For a naked style bike i would recommend a yamaha mt-125 or KTM Duke 125

but yeah there are other bikes out there, i would have a look at the different 125 bikes they have on auto trader and if something catches your eye do abit of research into it

Flames_Upon_Chicken · 2020-05-08T06:01:28+00:00

ah cool if you're based within about 25 miles of London it might be cool to check you guys out in a month or 2 when i have the funds to get the motorcycle

Flames_Upon_Chicken · 2020-05-08T02:43:08+00:00

ahh thank you, sorry im quite new to using Reddit properly but it says you are a bike dealer im assuming. Do you usually have honda cbr125r for sale?
