DAS vs 125 advice...

[cypek]

OK, I am quite happy with my chinese 125 but the problem is its a bit slow and I can't keep up with my gf Also I look a bit stupid standing next to her R125 lol. I have managed to save £2000 and now I have choice:

- spend about £150 to make my current bike faster (got that planned and its not too hard lol) then do tests on it and get a restricted bike after extra year of saving cash

- get a R125 and ride for a year, pass my tests on it next summer (I don't really mind it)

or

- do a DAS and get a big bike for £1500 left in next month (very tempting but its really hard to part with £500 for a 3-4 days riding )

To be honest I realise that DAS is much better option but I still want to hear your opinions

Soooo, don't be shy and tell me what you think

Do the DAS. Trust me, you won't regret it.

Think of it as this, not £500 for 4 days riding, its £500 for two years more (than the restricted test) of riding an unrestricted bike xD

DAS. No brainer. Why stay on a 125 (especially Chinese) any longer than is necessary?

I did the 125 route......but only 'cos I wasnt(and still aren't) old enough to do DAS

oh well, only a year and a bit to go

DAS

Do the DAS and pay a big chunk off the YZF-R125 and then ride that.

Just because you've passed your DAS doesn't mean you need a "big" bike straight away.

DAS all the way!

if your going to spend 2500 + on a bike you may as well do DAS and get a bigger bike mate
