SE-R125

Thanks for all the replies, the helmet I got is UK regulation approved, got the gloves, jacket and trousers coming in the post!

Hi guys,

Just passed my CBT yesterday and will be going for a YZF r125 in the next few days. Just wanted to know what clothing/gear I need for a bike like this, especially as I will be riding through a roads and dual carriageways. Also, I've been looking for the helmets which have the gold clover behind, as these are approved? Or something, I'm not sure but I've been told they are safer, but I can't find them anywhere? Any help guys?

Thanks.

Thanks for all your replies and messages! I did my CBT yesterday on a geared bike and passed! I will be buying my bike in the next few days, thanks!

I see what you mean, don't want to be dishing out for parts lol, Could i do the lessons once I've passed the cbt? I've tried to find some instructors, but most charge around £90 per day I believe.

HI,

Thanks for the reply, I've heard its easier to pass the cbt on a automatic bike, so I thought I could pass and learn after? I'm not sure though, I'm new to all this, but the bike would be very handy for me.

Hi, you guys can call me SE-R125. I'm a new rider with no experience.

I am booking my CBT for next week and wanted to find out as much information as possible. I will be doing the automatic bike test but will be purchasing and riding a R-125. I just wanted to find out how to ride a gear bike, what I should know, the dos and donts and how quickly I can get used to the bike and riding. It will be mostly for travelling to work and uni, but I have no idea what I'm doing! I tried to ride a 200cc geared Honda not long ago but that didn't go to plan, the only experience I have is riding a push bike lol.

Please help! Any help and answers are helpful. Thanks!
