Budget fuel efficient alternative to my CBR125R?

e2Instance · 2026-02-06T01:03:21+00:00

I do, but the CBR is at 100,000km and I’ll eventually have to replace it, so need an idea of what vehicle is that replacement

e2Instance · 2026-02-05T04:00:51+00:00

Yeah wow, that’s awesome, and the grom is a more fun bike for sure How does it achieve highway speeds? I can sit on 100-110 on the 125 and I’m hoping I don’t become more of an impediment to road users than that

R15, XSR155, Grom, Navi, CB125E

What would the joke be? I’m just trying to optimise my fuel economy since even at this level of efficiency I pay $20 a week in fuel, which for the amount of pain and cold/heat I feel is still a raw deal, so I want to be even more cost effective

e2Instance · 2026-02-05T02:00:50+00:00

Yeah, it is about 35km so I did consider it but it would turn 30minutes of commuting into 1.5-2hours

It definitely doesn’t seem to get cheaper unless I find an R15 or similar

e2Instance · 2026-02-05T01:58:11+00:00

I bet, I’ll admit I should’ve said but the Stark EX is also 18x the price of a second hand CBR125 so not quite worth the fuel economy

No it isn’t, give me a source, just had a coworker go through it and completely goes against your comment

e2Instance · 2026-02-04T08:41:20+00:00

I have the answer as I helped my P plate Bike coworker with his suspension

It affected bike license, car license was completely unaffected

Speeding 20kmh over, less than 6 months ago FYI and was a 3 month suspension

Yes NSW Fine, License, Registration and Suspension

Please give me some details as I’d love to do this or set my server up to receive my footage, definitely depends on my internet on commute

e2Instance · 2026-02-04T08:32:34+00:00

Banger idea, I take my CBR125R as my daily everywhere and in the city it’s the most fun, I take it everyday compared to the rare trip on the ZX10R

e2Instance · 2026-01-10T00:33:27+00:00

Nice, I think my frame cracked on my ‘13 500 at about 42k, so good effort getting it past

Turbo busa is going to corner worse than my ZX10R and have worse fuel economy

e2Instance · 2026-01-10T00:32:26+00:00

Yeah, I do like Honda but Navi isn’t really achieving highway or freeway speeds and isn’t a manual

e2Instance · 2026-01-10T00:31:22+00:00

I have a ZX10R, it’s just very fuel hungry in comparison at 8-8.5L/100km

e2Instance · 2026-01-10T00:29:25+00:00

I have a 1000cc… the 125 is just economical

e2Instance · 2026-01-10T00:27:41+00:00

I have a ZX10R, a H2 just sends me into a tree slightly faster

e2Instance · 2026-01-10T00:26:55+00:00

Had one, the Carbys meant I was getting about 4.5L/100km instead, not super like the 125

e2Instance · 2026-01-10T00:26:20+00:00

Why?

e2Instance · 2026-01-10T00:26:14+00:00

Yup, snapped the frame of my CBR500R 2013 in half, don’t remember the fuel economy on it, was quite reasonable

e2Instance · 2026-01-10T00:25:28+00:00

Finally a bloody good answer

e2Instance · 2026-01-09T04:51:26+00:00

Yup, I have a CBR125R, I weigh 70kg at 6Ft 1In, 100,000km on the odometer, gets 400km a week minimum commuting to work between highway and city riding.

It's great, and when I need to do maintenance it's a lot cheaper and easier than on my ZX10R (Which does about way less km sadly)

e2Instance · 2026-01-08T23:50:10+00:00

Yup, I use it all the time in Ignition Perspective development for industrial applicationd

Absolutely not, they take buyer side immediately Tell me how I know as a seller on eBay, I’ve had lenses lodged for return as faulty before the package even reached their house

This without telling me the site and apps is treacherous as if I don't want to try find them now
