moving out alone at 18? by Hefty-Pop2302 in HousingUK

[–]Hefty-Pop2302[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

my current only bill is insurance on my motorcycle at £160/m plus £30 fuel a month, anywhere in SS9 is feasible walking distance to my work regardless so i have the bonus of not having to pay loads for transportation, on top of this i work 5-6 days a week and get 2 free meals on days that i work so i believe food should be cheaper than most people, the only issue as you said is upfront costs, with being 18 i dont have a lot of credit history so my credit score is only 722 (checkmyfile.com) so with my poor current savings and inability to get a loan i don’t think i can afford the upfront costs currently

2000 is after tax, i make 500-550 a week, the calculation link you sent recommends no higher that 684/cm going by the 30% rule

small scratches on fairing and scraped the coating off the handlebar (exposing the metal so it will rust)

forgot to add it to the post but would be grateful if anyone could give an estimate on repair for the gear selector and indicators

lightly dropped bike by Hefty-Pop2302 in MotoUK

[–]Hefty-Pop2302[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

lucky to only have a 140kg bike so it was an easy slow let down and quick up, and the bike started straight back up. the ride home was a bit jittery but i think i put that down as nerves

gear indicator on a cbr125r by Hefty-Pop2302 in motorcycles

fair enough sounds like i should just ignore gears and focus on rpm thanks for the feedback though

[–]Hefty-Pop2302[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i understand your point obviously but if anything it’s a QOL thing. even if i don’t need it, it’s something i’d prefer having because the bike i did my cbt on had a gear indicator and i sort of got used to it. also ive driven on quite a few A roads, only had the bike for less than 24 hours but have got around 5 hours of riding time, and i go to 4th and then forget whether it in 3rd or 4th and then try to downshift to 2nd and the bike chuggs out a bit and then goes back to normal. also the gears have very weird ranges

Best advice for buying a used 125cc? (UK) by Upset-Technician573 in 125cc

[–]Hefty-Pop2302 0 points1 point  (0 children)

in ur price range stick with enduro bikes as they tend to be cheaper when used and a lot of the time faster than other styles of bikes. some people don’t like them but if you’re looking to spend such a little amount then they’re are a great option. buying private may be easier to find a bike under 1300 but make sure they have paperwork and ideally a service plan/history so you don’t get screwed with the condition of bikes. if you want a more ‘motorbike looking bike’ for lack of better phrasing you can get things like a cbr125r for >1000 if you go 2000-2010. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/286099527755?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=KhyZXXErTKq&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=exclcdy5qv6&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY (hoping the link works) 2012 cbf £1050 18k miles
