    That thing is awesome! Had no idea they made a 125 version of the shadow! I have a 750 shadow that I'm in love with and here in the states we don't see too many 125s running around other than honda groms so I LOVE that thing!

      Fred Blogs mac. I cracked a rib! It was a stupid mistake as you’ll see from my last posted vid. But in my defence, it was a stupidly shaped roundabout which constantly has crashes at. Thanks . I really do hope to get back into it. Riding with a mate would help I guess.

    • @kooky2
      @kooky2  5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I know people have learned to ride on this bike. However, I found the bike difficult to learn on because it was hard to do the figures of 8 and U turns. I found the clutch to be very stiff as you will see in my other videos! So I got a Honda cbr 125 to help me learn to ride properly on. Then I had lesson on a Kawasaki z650 before passing the full licence. Depends what do you want to do on the bike! Happy riding! x

    Don't feel bad about forgetting the fuel switch least u only forgot it once and not several dozen times like I did on my old Suzuki gz125 lol also u might think with these 125 cruisers that not having a proper fuel gauge is a problem but trust me its not they can achieve 80+mpg and most have hefty 17 litre fuel tanks I had mine for a year rode about 10 miles a week and filled it up... ONCE!

      I do hope you are joking! Lol! I am in the UK and was on the correct side of the road. I cannot ride a 750cc until I have passed the full A licence. Currently I am restricted to riding 125cc on the CBT license. Have a fab day mate!

      Tyro ha ha i was pulling your strings, however when you move up in motors, you will outgrow them quickly, so its best not to make small jumps
      I've seen people go from a vespa to a vt1100 with no problem, but i understand your restrictions, be careful..

      Well Tyro, im glad your trying out a 650. .. . .i had one. .. . .. .. ""WHEN I WAS 15 YEARS OLD""
      Dont ya think its time to take off the "training wheels?" perhaps driving on the wrong side of the road has affected you in some way :(
