Me too mate. She's my main transport at the moment too.

Yes it does. I was quite impressed that it has the gear indicator.

The YZF125 is nice and light. Youre right. There's an Aprilia 125 that's 2 stroke and will piss on all other 125's

Hahaha. Book Top Speed is 83. It'll definitely do 70.

They do. I had one for 6 years. I had 83 mph out my yzfr125 it was 2012 model, and I am 17 and a half stone no down hill on straight and no wind I was doing 83 on A610 there unreal bikes for what they are

Hey thanks for the heads up. She's only done a few short trips so far and seems ok, but I do still have my old rad waiting for me to take it to the tip. I'm going to go and salvage the original rad cap just in case.

Right on! And congratulations on passing your test. There really is something about 125's. Nice to see I'm not the only one keeping my 125. I think I will always have one.

I would love to try your 125 and make a video with him/her too.

Drivers here don't seem too bad in and around villages, like where I was at the start of the video. Out on the national speed limits though, some think it's 'Every man for himself!

2 hours German Autobahn and you know that Tailgating in Ireland is Childrens Playground Level 😅But it has one good thing. After that 2 hours you give a f. before you try Masterclass India. I never had more child driving on my CB125F wich hasn´t even 15 HP than in the Netherlands and England Motorways included with the bike even fully loaded.

That's a tough question for me to answer. I like the look of all YZF R125's. Of course, I particularly like the first gen because I have one. It all comes down to personal preference and cost. For example, I really like a digital speedo and analogue rev counter. These were only available on the first gen, after that, they all went digital. Some of the later ones do look really nice though. I've also heard that the 2008 models, the first year, had some differences to the rest on the gen 1's between 2009-2014.

Thanks Mate. It's been an enjoyable journey, and well worth while. Have met some great people too.

Yes, the R125 is a beautiful bike. I never knew that the YZF and MT were so different on insurance. If it comes down to the insurance, the MT is a really nice bike, and it has the same engine and running gear as the YZF.

@@RokyRode Appreciate the response! I believe it's because of it being a sport as opposed to naked looking at the difference between 800 and 1750 it's WILD lol Heard Nakeds are better to learn on for first time riders so it's likely gonna be the option! Excited to see the service video <3

That is a crazy difference in price. Naked are definitely easier to learn on because they're more upright. I never had a problem with the YZF though because I'm 6'2" and so I still sit quite upright.

@@RokyRode Yea I'm also 6ft3, I am however 400lb (down from 600lb at the start of the year) so I think the ergo may also have an effect on me in that regard

Thank you. I appreciate it. What 125 do you have?

🤣 Excellent mate. With the amount of miles you ride, you could probably do with knowing how to adjust a chain 👍

Thanks. I really appreciate it. Replacing the rad was both enjoyable and frustrating.

Yes, haha. A lot of my videos are filmed in the bay 👍

Actually yes. The attention to detail on the brackets is very Ed China. Hey, I'll take that compliment 😊

Thanks mate. It was a longer road than I thought it would be.

Thanks mate. It really was a lesson in perseverance for me.

Looked even worse when I got the thing out 🤣. It was destined to blow. When I got this bike back on the road last year, the radiator was first on my list, but never got round to it.

Radiator is dead

Yes, there wasn't much needed in the way of diagnostics on this one. I have a battle on my hands now though. She's fighting me on this repair.

Me too mate. Laren is fighting me on this repair, just like she did when I first bought her, but I'm sure I will win the war in the end.

Wow, I didn't realise it was 54. There's always some youngsters on their bikes at Paignton Bike night. It's nice to see.

@@RokyRode yea its only going to get older to the point when ppl wont be able to ride. But hopefully the uk gov will make it cheaper for 18 yr olds. So the industry wont die.

Yes, I try to keep my levers cleaned and greased, but I have found that for some reason it only takes one or two trips in the rain to make my clutch lever start squeaking. It's so annoying that it's a reason on its' own to keep them greased.

@@RokyRode I use copper grease for any silver bolt

I bought the bike with 8000 Miles on it. About 13000 kilometres

No Offence taken. There are generally a lot more bikes are on the roads during May, June, July, August and September, or thereabouts, and at these times bike nights and bike shows are also back on. Hence, the season. I'm like you, I ride all year round, but from October there's generally a lot less bikes on the road. I used to be a Fair Weather biker, but now I'm out come rain or shine. I draw the line at snow and ice. Have full winter gear now but do need to get some heated grips.

I guess because the UK weather mostly is hostile but I ride till late December. But they wouldnt say that in America lol

Yes, UK weather can certainly be hostile at times. There's always a few weeks in December / January where I have to wait until the afternoon to ride because its freezing or below in the mornings. I'll ride once it gets a couple of degrees above freezing.

@@RokyRode yes below freezing is just plain dangerous

It depends what you paint them with. You can paint hammerite direct with little preparation.

Thank you, Welcome to the channel. I'm glad you enjoyed this video. The milkshake run kind of came out of nowhere. Not my creation but it has certainly blown up.

Thank you. I appreciate the comment. Nice to know I've been a part of your biking journey.

Looking forward to it mate. Should be a good day out 👍

That's awesome. I really appreciate the feedback, and I'm happy I was able to help you. You have a proper nice bike too.

@@RokyRode Thank you sir! 😁

Thank you for those kind words. I'm always happy to chat when I'm out and about mate. BTW, my Season Finale video was an 80 mile round trip on the 125.

West Bay. I was trying to think of it when I was riding. It wasn't until I was home and editing that Portland Bill came into my head. That's the ride we wanna do in 2025.

Good luck on your CBT. What bike are you planning on getting? Paignton Bike Nights are on May to September every Wednesday at 6pm, except Carnival week. The Milkshake Run is organised by Daysdayout. Message him on TH-cam, they have a group chat: www.youtube.com/@Daysdayout

@@RokyRode brilliant thank you for the info, and thanks i hope it goes well for me. Planning on getting a Yamaha YZF 125 actually, which coincidentally is what led me to your channel in the first place lol

That's ok mate, it was just me chatting and making myself late 🤣. I was going to wait for you to put your video out first but wasn't sure if you had the footage, so I bumped this video up to the front. May 2025 will be worth the wait. Hey, you should do like a Christmas Milkshake Run.

@@RokyRode We already have something really cool in the pipeline for christmas. We will have to have a milkshake run of our own and discuss it :)

Sounds like a good idea.

I like the Z650. May 2025 will be worth the wait.

Thank you. If you're in the Bay, I'll probably see you at some point.
