Popular Post Birch Vand Posted Saturday at 13:15 Author Popular Post Share Posted Saturday at 13:15 Super happy with this 22 plate XSR 125, beautiful! Bit nerve-racking riding back through traffic (only completed CBT on Wednesday). But made it home without incident, a few lumpy gear changes aside. Had a good half hour bimbling around some side streets near the seller's house before braving the traffic. All good though. As for grinning like a loon - 2 sets of two riders on big bikes all nodded at me as I was waiting to pull onto the main road! Awesome! 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trooper74 Posted Saturday at 19:03 Share Posted Saturday at 19:03 (edited) A bit late to the party …. But this is the best CBT bike I’ve seen and ridden … yet another mad GD on board ….no, It’s not hers ….! It’s her big brothers … Aprillia Tuono 125 …. Physically big, the same size as the 600 series … just a small engine …. Edited Saturday at 19:18 by Trooper74 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

S-Westerly Posted Saturday at 20:03 Share Posted Saturday at 20:03 Nice tidy looking bike. Doesn't look like a 125 but I can guarantee it won't be long before you want something a bit bigger! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
