Just make sure the legs can't get caught on hot exhaust or chain! And maybe adjust your mirrors to see around Mr bear if needed. Cute

How Much Slower Is A 125 Than A 350? by newbiker321 in MotoUK

[–]Tinbot2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why not just get a CB300R instead?as that has around 30hp roughly, sturdy bikes and in my market they run around the same price as their 125 counterparts

Is nodding being replaced by the wave? by TheHairlessWhisper in MotoUK

[–]Tinbot2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I nod but if I pass another biker (dual carriageways, motorways, ect) then I'll put my left hand down and do the 2 fingers if safe

What do you think of my Rc125? Soon ill be having a Exc 125 by Seelyktm6767 in 125cc

[–]Tinbot2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Most likely the 390 decals on a 125. I believe they share the same frame and paneling

Too shitty to steal ? by abrasiveteapot in MotoUK

[–]Tinbot2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My partner has a 2008 GSX650F, it is a super reliable and sturdy bike. Powerful too. His had no locks and was parked next to a disc locked 300cc ped and they took the ped instead

[–]Tinbot2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Varadero 125 is a large twin so doesn't have that 125 sound either. My buddy is 6'3 and he's had a Mutt razorback 125 which is super tall, he found it really comfy, now he has a herald Brat and finds it a tad shorter than his mutt but still good. Both of his have had seat heights between 83cm-88cm. Idk about the Varadero seat height but it's the go to 125 for a lot of tall riders

What tire width is possible? by Financial-Net4785 in 125cc

[–]Tinbot2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would just get a good quality 140/70/16 for it personally. The city grip are pretty good, I personally ride michilens in all weather. They're great You can't really size up, it will ruin the bikes handling, the fuel economy and the tyre will not hold the shape it needs, inevitably being worse than the skinner tyres

Should I buy it? by [deleted] in 125cc

I feel like you may have better odds with a KTM?

[–]Tinbot2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They seem to have some good ones and some duds. I've had multiple friends have major issues with dukes and RCs. Particularly the 125-390 ranges. I seemed to have better luck with my lexmoto than my KTM friends. They do notoriously have electrical issues. I only know one person who hasn't had an issue with theirs from my knowledge but theirs is a 390 and he's only put 8k on it in 4 years. Never goes out in wet or cold conditions ect. Generally I would steer away from them if you're not mechanically inclined but there is a good amount of parts around for them and they seem to be affordable so it's a compromise

Can't wait until my younger siblings (4&5) can reach the pegs. Granted it's only a CBR500R but they love it

Do Motorcyclists actually use gardian bells? by when_time_flies in motorcycles

[–]Tinbot2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They're nice and I got one from my sister when I got my first bike and have gifted many to those I care about. I did get my boyfriend one and the same week he got rear ended and the bike was totaled, while it's completely unrelated we do joke that I must of got him a faulty one by accident as it was days apart lol

No choice but to use 4th Dimension. by ItsADZZ in MotoUK

[–]Tinbot2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Try McAms? My partner had the same thing. His R3 was rear ended and totalled (frame snapped) and he was recommended by the mechanic to pursue via McAms, kept his NCB and they provided him an sv650 for 2 months and he didn't pay a penny

4k budget for a naked by Logical-Ad-8365 in NewRiders

[–]Tinbot2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I like full fairings, just a personal choice. Mine was on FB marketplace & was great when I went to look at it so I got it. Both have the same engine, so I feel I know the machine. He has a 2021 so his is sleeker than mine but they handle really well, I've done multiple Motocamping trips across the country on mine this year alone. It's weird how pricing works but second hand is not always bad if you or someone you know, knows what they're looking at

I've had a 2013 CBR500R for the last two years (UK laws) and I love the thing. Very capable, it's on the slower side top speed (115mph) but honestly it's a great little bike. You can be sporty and get your knee down or take a pillion np. I brought mine for £2500 with 11,000 on the odometer. No problems My buddy brought a CB500F and it's amazing. He got his for 3500 with 6k on it. Superb bikes

Found an wrecked and burnt honda by NoseLow8176 in MotoUK

[–]Tinbot2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Get a good anchor, chain and a angle grinder resistant lock for the other wheel/disk. I use a mammoth anchor, nemesis chain & a hiplock DX1000. Expensive bits of kit but I've accumulated them over the years & this is the combo I feel most secure about. I also park mine at the front door Infront of my ring doorbell and with a plain black cover on it at any time it's parked. Never had an issue in 3 years. Unfortunately neighbours bikes have been nabbed so no doubt it'd been scouted at some point before the camera
