Ratser

Twitter is always good for this type of nonsense. It's where I usually am these days rather than forums. But I do like to dip in now and again.

Oh aye, never say never. Just can't see it.

Used to have one, and see my old one dotting about in Glasgow sometimes. Cracking bikes that don't look or handle like a 125 really. Definitely one for the taller rider. Initially I went to get a CBR125 at the time, but found it tiny (me being 6'), so opted for the Varadero. Don't know anyone with one tho, but maybe search some of the smaller bike sellers in Scotland who may have one.

Nah got too old for them now mate. my legs and hips just cramp up on them. still love them, but for comfort, this thing is fantastic.

Took ownership of this bike a couple of weeks ago, trading in a 2018 Fireblade. Sit up position, comfy seat (if a little awkward at first as it pushes your legs out when trying to put feet down). Active suspension, quickshifter, down-blipper, slipper clutch, cruise control, heated grips, traction control, anti-wheelie, anti-skid, assisted corner breaking, cornering lights, comfy pillion seat, CP3 engine that sounds awesome, hard panniers, adjustable screen height, 2 different seat heights easily adjustable, 12v power socket, centre stand. Just such a comfortable bike to ride, and quick when it wants to be. Mode changes alter power delivery, and in Mode 1 power peaks at almost 120BHP. Depending on your riding, indicates between 50-75mpg fuel consumption. This thing glides round corners without working it. So glad to make the change, and would highly recommend. When you see how much some of it's competitors cost, this thing is well worth it.
