Hey nice bike. I live in the USA. I have a 2 year older model. A 2018 Honda CB500F. Its my first beginner bike. I'm 6' 3 ( 1.9 meters) and 200lbs (90.71847kg).And just got done taking my MSF course. Still practicing in parking lots, and at night open roads. Its got enough torque to shit myself. So glad I didn't get a sport bike. Its just comfortable and enjoyable. Great gas mileage too!
@@n_ux Yeah, good bikes. You don't really need a bigger bike unless you are going to do a cross-USA trip! :)
Ade
@@RevMonkey Well like they say. Its better to be safe than sorry. Not trying to kill myself doing wheelies.
@@n_ux Ha, I hear ya. I have only done them by accident and crapped myself. MInd you, we have a stunt man joining us this year so I might even get to learn them!
Ade
Thanks man I going to be considering the CB125F for my first bike
I've had mine 6.months now and I have to say it is super comfortable in commuting to work, cruising around the city, easy to handle, gives the feeling of a big bike, you can pass through traffic jams no problems, super economic, nice looking and good price for its value and brand..
Absolutely. Many think of these as 'just' bikes for new riders but they are fun, well built and perfect for many roles.
Ade
Whats the max speed it can go before the rpm starts to scream and crying xD ?
@@lucashenriques4242 This bike is intended to commute you in town through all traffic jams with an ease, super low consumption, nice riding position, and a beautiful bike for its cc. Max speed of this bike is 125 km/h.. it does take some time to reach max speed but it ain't that slow ..it has just enough torque for its purpose
@@mrblueeyes4767 I like it but im not sure if i should use highway with it
Love this bike, personally having a lot of fun on mine! Despite the obvious top end limitations I’ve still found myself getting the most out of it and overtaking cars, joining Dual Carriageways etc. Gonna serve as an adequate stepping stone for doing my A2 license. Looking into progressing onto either a restricted Yammy Xj6 Diversion or a factory Honda CB500f. One day I’ll get my hands on an R1 or something like that! Great review, nice to hear other rider’s thoughts. Stay safe out there, cheers!
Nice! Sounds like you are really sorted out with that bike and know all its strengths. Ridden well, as you say, the bike is capable of feats people think only a bigger bike can get away with. Takes planning and experience though.
I learned on the XJ6 Diversion - a common bike to learn on around the UK.
I went straight for a CBR600F after passing the DAS. I liked that bike. So well made, typical Honda. I should have stayed with it. Instead I got seduced FAR too early in my biking career by a Panigale and almost killed myself and did kill the bike :)
CB500F is a perfect bike. Again, so well made and loads of fun.
Rode this bike for my CBT. It's the only bike I've ever ridden, so I'm not sure how much my opinion really matters, but the experience was thoroughly enjoyable. It feels fairly punchy. Didn't have any issues pulling off. Even beat a few cars. Also feels quite stable in the turns. I'm 6ft tall, and found the upright riding position very comfortable. The brakes seemed to be pretty damn good too.
I'm probably going to get this, or the CBF125 if I can't wait any longer lol
Both superb little bikes. Great fun and many years of engineering have made them relatively robust with no real flaws.
The Yamaha is also really good. Enjoy!
Ade
Who's the daddy is what you ask your wife when she has a kid 😂😂
I say it to the missus regularly, but I wont go into that :)
Ade
Just passed my advance rider safe course today using the provided cbr 125 bike. I have a kawasaki z250 and lucky I decided not to use it. Very good and stable in tight turns at low speeds.
Yay, well done!! It all helps build up a wall of safety around you which is must needed on motorcycles.
Nice one.
Ade
I done my cbt test on the honda cb125f today and i bought one for 2k second hand nothing wrong with it only has 12000 miles on it its such a good bike for learning on the road i used to have dirtbikes so i found it easier to do most things
Nice 👍
Well done. Great bike to learn to ride on. Plenty of miles left in it!
Ade
Just purchased a 21 plate one today, going from my 2011 YBR to this unfortunately the YBR has a terminal issue so is no more but really looking forward to getting my CBF
Ah, you will immediately notice the smoothness and tech of a bike, similar but 10 years newer!
Let me know what you think! Super bike.
Ade
Thanks for the video. I am looking at 125s. I kinda like the monkey review you did but I remain a bit worried about people not taking it seriously, not just mates but also car drivers.
I hear ya. it is a style thing.
Take them both out and see what 'feels' best to you.
Other's opinions dont matter.
Ade
I;ve been to Dobles a few times. have some nice bikes in the second hand showroom. Seems like a decent outfit.
They had a couple of amazing bikes there last time i was there. Not just Hondas.
Ade
What do you suggest is the next bike to gegt after a 125. been riding for 2 years now and need something bigger for the journeys I am now doing.
A 600/650 CC mid capacity naked bike.
You still have the safer upright sitting position and enough speed to be dangerous. everything happens quicker.
The Suzuki SV, Kawa ZX6, Street Triiple, MY-07,. CBR650 are all very good,.
Ade
I am going up for my CBT in just under a month and as a fan of more vintage style bikes I'm wondering would you recommend this cb125f over say a Sinnis Hoodlum? Would this bike serve me better as a learner?
Short answer, yes. Just better made, more service points and good residual when you come to sell it as you may not have it long.
However, really, any learner bike is good for the job. That Sinnis looks great! Less easy to ride. I'd learn on the Honda and then save up for a really nice, or new, Sinnis.
Before long you will be on a Triumph Bobber or Harley :)
Ade
Ive just passed my cbt and have this bike. Its a great little bike and super cheap to run.
Great starter bike, well done. Very robust so should be a very reliable steed.
Take your time before jumping onto bigger bikes should you get the full licence.
Ade
@@RevMonkey Thanks, ill be keeping this for a while for commuting on. I want to do my DAS when ive got more experience, looking at a Honda cbr250 rally as my next bike.
@@alexpurkis1171 Great, sounds sensible. Keep n touch.
Ade
I'd have that KTM thanks. Looks dope.
I agree but it is a lot more money and you have to worry about dealers proximity. Lovely looking bike and the most fun too.
Ade
Hey, I've been looking for a beginner bike but I'm 5ft, would the seat definitely be low enough for me?
Depends more on your inside leg really in terms of overall safety. Anything below 28" can cause problems BUT, like many women who are shorter, you just have to adjust your body differently when coming to a stop to get your foot down solidly,. This comes with a bit of practice.
It is the same technique that I have to apply when riding an Adventure Tourer which are really tall bikes. Going along is fine but I have to take care when slowing and stopping - and I am 5' 10" with a 30" inside leg.
These little Hondas are not too bad but you just have to give it a try and see what you think. They are light so it doesn't take much strength to keep the bike up.
Ade
Jist bought one a 22 plate with 4k miles on it after passing my cbt looking very forward to using it but with caution obviously im a new rider and wont be showing off by any means
Be careful in these cold conditions!!
Great little bike.
Ade
ha. The u-turn made me LOL> Nioce review. Just shows size doesn;t matter - much! :D
Ha, no, not in this case. 125s are just fun. You can blast them and not get much into illegal speeds and they are super easy to turn. Great bikes.
Ade
Hiya, Great vid, love that bike, what is the top speed on it, please, as am interested in purchasing one and getting rid of car.
Hi Patrick - good choice and with nobody on trains and everyone in cars the roads are buggered and a bike makes huge sense. Bike sales are really strong at present.
It can get to 65 - 70 depending on conditions. This makes it brilliant on B roads and some A roads. A motorway is a bit of a struggle to be honest.
Ha, saying that. When I had my 125 I used to get behind a truck and let him tow me along. Saves loads of petrol as well. 😊
Ade
I'm thinking of buying this bike as an upgrade from my 50cc moped. Just wanted to ask if it would be alright going on typical British roads where it's fairly bumpy / uneven in places? I live out in the countryside so these roads take up most of my journey around.
Yeah, it will perform as well as any other bike. just keep an eye out for the worst holes. The standard suspension is good enough to withstand a lot. You'd soon get used to the knocks the bike will get, it is very well balanced. Probably be quite fun!
You don't really need a trial/scrambler bike so long as you don't go too fast.
Ade
Just bought myself one of these, I'm a new rider and I've got my CBT coming up - wondering where you got those gloves? They caught my eye 😂
Cool, good luck with the CBT though not easy to fail it! :)
Great little bike but take it easy until you actually get used to leaning, braking and throttle control. I should have stayed longer on a 125.
Gloves - yeah, bought them as soon as I saw them. They are from Triumph. If you don';t see them at a dealer then you might find them online somewhere.
Really comfy, they fit like a glove :)
Ade
A bit late here but would this bike be suitable for a 5’2 girl? Looking at bikes that I can commute to work with and I’m struggling to find ones that would be good for me as I also won’t be able to handle a heavy bike.
Yes, perfect. It is not that high and it is as light as you can get really . Very easy to ride as everything has been made with the new rider in mind. That are really robust so an older one is fine too. As a bonus, you likely won't lose any money on it. Super cheap to run too.
Ade
@@RevMonkey that’s awesome thanks so much for your help
Hey my wee brother has one and it's only a year old got at that age and has gearbox issues and fuel senser malfunction its only had it 3-4 months out the dealers
Blimey - that is unusual. Have you taken it back to the dealer. They will sort that out and should not charge. A a positive, you will likely get some fresh new parts. Sounds to me, just guessing, that the previous owner was ragging it to death!
What about the supersports 125s as I prefer the look of those?
So do it BUT you are hankered down do your visibility is poorer and the steering is tighter and quicker so it is not as inherently safe in my opinion.
However, IF you only ever intend to ride supersports style racing bikes then YES, get a supersports bike now as it will hold you in good stead later on.
Ade
What kinda range do these bikes have a how much to full up a tank?
To be honest, i don't know. I cant even remember what the PCX did and I had that for years! I think it was something like 64 MPH top speed, a tank cost about £8 and it went for about 130 miles. I may be wrong.
Ade
You could get 350 miles out of the 13ltr tank. Possibly more. Costs about £15 of premium. It’s bloody good on fuel
I'm from the North of Ireland and just wondering does anyone know if I can still do a cbt test?
Yes, indeed.
Just do a google search on "CBT Training near me"
Good luck!
Ade
Im from northern Ireland too. I thought cbt was basic training not a test. But good luck :)
@@steve00alt70 You are 100% correct. It is training, not a test. Though there should be a test. it is dangerous on the roads! :)
Ade
Would you say this bike is perfect for a university student? Looking to finance one for September for when I start. Thank you!
It is good enough for a student to use. You can get a back box or back bag or wear a racksack for your bits and bobs.
Perfection is more likely the SH125 or PCX125 scooter as it can store your helmet safely inside and your bits are secure too and soooo much easier to ride.
th-cam.com/video/yCaoBet5aGk/w-d-xo.html
th-cam.com/video/X8cCru1dsLs/w-d-xo.html
Good luck either way and take it easy!
Ade
@@RevMonkey Hey again! Would you by any chance be able to review the new cb125f 2021 model? Looks really good!
Fortunately it feels like a sin to ride a moped in my mind haha (Although, I don't hate mopeds. I just like changing gears)
@@Leon-Jordan I hear ya. Yeah, I will give Honda a shout. Cheers.
Ade
It looks a bit fragile but it sounded like fun Ade.
Well, it is built to a low price point and, yes, it can look a little less well made than the bigger, more expensive bikes, but it is still a Honda and a highly evolved one at that so I imagine it is pretty bullet proof.
Ade
When I look on auto trader all of them have a different speed dial. Why’s that, am I looking at the wrong bike?
The bike has been around for many many years now in one form or another. Depends on the year. I think there at least 4 different ones!
Ade
what year is that bike
Aggravated driving?
I'm looking to drive from Manchester to France Belgium Germany and back, would this bike be OK?
Oooof. That is some trek! Not sure I could do that even on a Honda Golding! :)
The bike is well made and robust and the distance per se is not a problem BUT that trip would be much easier on a bike make for touring. These are typically more comfortable, have better ergonomics, heavier so smoother and more resistant to road surfaces and wind, plus have a bigger windscreen, etc. They are also likely to have cruise control and other tech that will make the journey less stressful.
If you do it on a 125 bike then it would be amazing! You;d have headache by the time you reached the coast :)
Though the content would be good. If you intend to film it let me know!
Ade
@@RevMonkey 125 touring bike? I've looked at sinnis terrain, but like you say honda garages/shops are world wide lol
Riding through coulsdon/old coulsdon I see 😁
Yeah, ha, not the greatest roads! :)
I get the bikes from Doble Honda.
Ade
Do you think this is better for a new rider or a scooter?
I would say scooters are even more fun, you sit up even more and they don;t have gears so you have less to worry about. On that basis, I would say Scooter hands down. I LOVED my PCX.
However, if you long term goal is to get a bigger motorcycle then I would get this so you get comfy and skilled with the gears.
Ade
Why does he kind of sound like HiddenXperia? But older...
There is a fair chance that I have one or two kids out there that I don;t know about :)
Ade
Wanna get to bike for commuting etc. But is it suitable for a bit longer trips to nature etc ? Let's say 200 300 km long trips once in a while ? Reliability is a huge aspect for me so this bike seeks really quality all in all
The reliability aspect is fine. All of these bikes, even several years old, if serviced annually, will be fine for long journeys.
The real problem is smoothness, comfort and power. The bike can get you 300KM but the buzzy nature of a small engine will make that tough, the bike itself will be a constant buzz at 100kmh plus and the power will not make it easy to make swift progress.
This is the same for all bikes in the 125 area.
Bigger bikes make that a lot easier. 300 will be better and obviously, as you get up to, 1400cc it becomes a lovely place to be for long journey.
So, yes, it can be done but you might need a couple of breaks to avoid tiredness.
Ade
@@RevMonkey yea I get, I'm not talking about some hikes but only to go camp near lake etc. I just have licence for 125 so I need to gain experience. But I'm gonna pick cb125f today. Can't wait !
@@davidkozak7058 Cool. Enjoy and take it easy!
Ade
IS this safe for pillions?
Well, yes. With a pillion you should always take it easier, smoother and make sure they lean with you.
In fact, it might be a good way to practice smoothness of take away, gear changes and braking actually as you soon get pissed off with their helmet hitting your head! :)
Ade
Hopefully my dad will let me get a bike at 16.
Probably gonna use it to go to school and move around, it's abit far from me.
I'd start off with a cool cheap scooter and then get a motorcycle with gears when you have more road experience!
Ade
That’s what I plan on doing but since my dad can drive a bike too I probably will only use it to practice. I’ve heard it’s better to get a scooter or moped first but would you say this is a good first bike?
@@ronikaahuja129 Oh yes, a superb first bike. You can buy an old one and it will still be reliable and easy to use.
Ade
the price is absolutely gorgeous, but the design less :(
in our country they discontinued the bike, so i cant even have a look at it in real life.
Ah, what is the big selling learner bike over there?
Ade
I'm 188cm, would you recommend this for someone my height?
Well, you will be fine and to be honest there isnt a lot you can do about it as all 125s are fairly small to make them easier for new riders to get on with. I'd suggest it for the time you really need it and then move to an adventure style bike which will fit you like a glove!
Ade
@@RevMonkey Appreciate the lightning fast response and the info :)
@@RevMonkey Bought a 2020 one as I passed my CBT a few days ago. Lovely little bike!
How much milage is considered too high for a Honda? The 125's feel enuff power for me starting out I leave my ego at the door. I think i'll stick with my L plates for 7 months. Mybe explore explore scooters too. Without my dad knowing he thinks Bikes are fatally dangerous.
Your dad is right to a certain extent. Indeed, I have two of the fastest motorcycles ever and my worse accident that should have killed me was on a 125 scooter!! I kid you not.
That's great if you can learn your craft on a 125 and feel no need to do what I did and get a 600 after 1 week. I did it the wrong way. you sound farm ore sensible than me and hopefully you wont crash at all. My ego is far greater than my ability.
The only thing I am good at is road awareness from 20+ years of driving. Keep an eye out for anything that could become danger.
Mileage... get 125 services, oil kept on top of, check brake fluids, etc, you will never do enough mileage in this country to break the bike. I woldnt worry about it but always get the newest, best bike you can get for your money anyway, geenrally speaking, as it will have more safety tach.
Ride safe.
Ade
I'd like to throw this 125cc engine on my Super Cub since it's pretty much the same engine just a little more powerful
Sounds like a good idea! Has anybody done that before?
Ade
Pleasant bike, nevertheless I prefer Motron Revolver 125.
Fair enough!
Hi , I’m in my 40’s ,would be to late to start motorcycling? Thanks
HI Eric! My ex-wife would say 'yes' 😁 She was adamant I would not get a motorcycle. We split and very soon after, mid-life crisis complete, I did the DAS short 1 week test course and somehow passed. I was 47!!
However, I jumped up into big boy bikes well before I should have. Only now am I a capable rider after 5 years of riding. I am still not sensible and it might be the death of me.
Get on a 125 with gears and see what you think. Get the test done and then follow these steps:
1. Practice with a bike no more than 600cc for at least 2 years
2. Do an advanced riding course where you will learn a lot more about safe road riding and technique
3. Do one or two track days - you will learn more about turning, throttle, braking and feel in those 2 days than 2 years on the road.
Keep safe!! Let me know how it goes.
Ade
@@RevMonkey cool,thanks for that, can't wait for my cbt by the end of May and I will get a 125 for the start
And I have theory test in June 😊
@@EricHommeric Great! It is an exciting journey though it is safer to get a Porsche :)
Ade
Hey, is the bike suitable for a 6ft dude? I heard the bike has a low seat height..
Well, it is kinda relatively low as it is built to be easy to use for all riders, to give them more confidence when they come to a stop but 6' will be okay.
Certainly to learn on. Later you can move to an more enduro style perhaps.
Ade
This or the Yamaha YS125?
I will take that one out soon.
Too close to call. For me, it would come down to the best deal offered by the dealer at that time.
Ade
Get the Honda I got one from a shop for 1100 with 4K miles decent for a 125
Beginner riders should not be given a bike with pencil thin tyres. Ksr moto (sister company of ktm generally use wide tyres, which you get so much grip, as you said nobody ever wants to touch them as Chinese but they are really good bikes, had my codex for 6 years, over 40,000 miles and I treat her like shit, so the fact she keeps going shows how well they were made.
Yeah, just had a look. nice bikes. The power of the Honda brand will lead to huge sales but, yes, there are some fine cheaper alternatives out there.
Ade
@@RevMonkey I like the video though good work :)
@@rubyboy99 Cheers.
Could you do a review on the cb125r 😂😂🤙🤙
Sure, similar to this one in most way but, yeah, love the styling on the neo-cafe R models.
I was VERY close to buying the CB1000R Neo Cafe racer in Repsol livery but pulled out.
Ade
@@RevMonkey I'm looking to do my cbt do I wait and get my a2 done then get the cb300r on a finance plan it comes to 48 a month for 24 months
@@DrBradYT That sounds like a good deal. Always better to get 6 months or so on the 125 to get fluid and confident with the gears and leaning the bike over, which is never actually taught to you. There is quite a significant jump in power to 300s.
So 125 > 300 > 650
Ade
Think I'll stick with my Aprilia rs4, thx
Me too. Amazing bike. Wicked fun. Mad laugh. Good looking too.
You got other bikes?
Ade
@@RevMonkey I had a 50cc and 125cc back in the day. I've rode bigger and grown up with bikes in the family. Plan is to keep the Rs4 to gain experience to move on to bigger and better. I'm like you, I like speed and power but I'm not ready to die yet..
Hi great vid how tall are u
5'10" with a 30" inside leg. The bike is suitable for all really - just so easy to ride and stop on it.

Beginners should look to the Yamaha YBR 125. Way cheaper
Certainly a very worthy contender and its nearest rival.

can you pop a wheelie on these bikes? :D
Ha, I can't but thats coz I am crap. Others might be able too, I dunno. Bugger all torque,
Ade

@@AAARREUUUGHHHH haha
KTM is around 70 mpg cbf about 130+ that’s an extra 60 miles !!!
Wow. Big difference. Especially now fuel is so expensive.
Less crashes! LOL. You would have been too bored with this bike Ade.
Ah yeah, for sure :)
Ade
The motorcycle for people who don't actually like motorcycles but want 100mpg
Ha, yeah, you do have a point. Also, the local commuter for people too lazy to cycle 😃
I have several big bikes, love them. Hate my cbf, but love 100mpg 🤣
Great but kill the music , no need .
Sometimes I have it, mostly not. The smaller bikes, and scooters, sound so quiet I tend to overlay it. Still, I don;t need to do it.

Starts on a double yellow line
AH, good spot. Not the first time I have done that. It was super quite but I could have easily found somewhere else.

Thanks Adam

I never really know what is best.
Did you crash it? Surely this bike didnt scare you? LOL
Ha. No, I wasn;t close to crashing it either. :)

Honda all day long.
It is my safe Go To brand but they do lack passion when compared to Ducati, KTM and MV, perhaps even the other Japanese makes. However, they always seem right and they are safe bets - on average.

Didn’t a which drive having broken so many laws on a drive as well as many highway codes
How tall are you and your weight please😎👍
Just under 5' 10", with a 30" inside led and 12 stone / 76kg / 168 lb

@@vagueWhelk Wow, that is impressive. These are great machines. That put the Power to weight ration down a bit!! :)

@Which Bike yeah a little bit! Basically almost doubled the weight
@@Jay_71 haha, good idea that!
That's the old model mate. the new one is the cb125r which looks a lot nicer.

On the show we are going to a do the latest 125 Honda against the new Yamaha. They are so similar really, will be almost impossible to judge a winner.
Ade
You didnt really give it some proper revs though man.
Ha, well, it is not easy, the bike does not exactly spin up quickly,. You have to think ahead to do something mad like an overtake!
Ade
You do really need to move on a bit quicker you are playing music while you are talking. I it’s doesn’t do anything for the review. I would rather hear you speaking more clearly or the sound of the engine. The music is an irritation. It’s a review not a concert.
Yeah, I have not added music for ages now. 👍
0 - 60 in like the next day.
True - that is also the beauty of these bikes. Good to learn the craft on and I should have stayed on them longer.
Ade
@@moonshot9056 Yes. all true Joe.
Gets away fine, has more than enough poke for the urban stuff and can still be a lot of fun.
One just needs to take extra care overtaking cars but if you are used to the bike then it is fine. The problem is when I get on it, think I am on a Fireblade and nothing happens :)
Ade
I got one of these as a first bike. 3 crashes so far lol. A low side in the rain, tboning a car (cars fault), and another lowside in gravel(entered corner too fast).
I want a bigger bike but the crashes scared me a bit, even on such a slow bike
I know the feeling. I had 3 crashes last year! :)
Every journey is a learning experience.
I will never go out in the rain. If it rains whilst out I will take it super easy BUT remain loose. Tension is bad.
Gravel is tough - that is bad luck but depending on where you are riding, always look out for potential harm - holes, gravel, drainhole covers, diesel, etc.
At least you got back on. Build your confidence up again and then start progressing up if you really feel the need. There is no better fun than a 125!
If you do want to move up I would suggest a Yamaha MT-03 or a KTM Duke 390 then move to a Honda 500 or 650.
Enjoy and keep safe!
Ade
That's a good idea.. I had thought about jumping to an mt-07, but a 300 would be more gentle. Reminds me of a comment where someone said its know fun to master and push a small bike than to tiptoe around a big bike.
Thanks for the advice buddy, all the best
Sameeeeee I got a white one of this bike about a month n half ago and I've come off it twice once in the rain and another on a tight corner was goin too quick but it is a really nice started bike I love it so far, the rain is scary ahah especially on roundabouts
Na boss man, Suzuki gsxr 125 is the best look at it
AH,. left that one out! The Suzuki GSX-S125 is a nice bike and the R version.

Ehhhh yamaha yzf r-125 is the best
They are both so very good. Yamaha is certainly a great bike too. Very little in it.

Looks and over all performance in my eyes
Start the video on double yellow lines, learn where to park, okay not fucking holding up people when a green light literally turns on, who's the grandad that needs to go in a home lol
Ah, good spot. It is an unused dead end but I really should have placed it somewhere else. Happy new year!
@@moonshot9056 Yep., great little bike. Always worth keeping even if one moves on to bigger bikes.

@@moonshot9056 Good point that then. If you do more to a 500 and safety and fun is still paramount then I highly recommend this one: th-cam.com/video/KNINP4EpzTM/w-d-xo.html

Dont do it a lot. Sorrry!

What no love for the honda CG no more ?
Classic. If you have one, keep hold of it! :)

Why do all theee little nakes 125 bikes come in such shitty colors.
Naked bikes?
Well, yeah, i know what you mean. I dont think they suit black when they are so small. they should be blue or bright yellow! :)
White is okay too. Each to their own.
Maybe they sell the best.

Piece of crap. Fall apart, rattles, no power. Youd get bored real quick.
I would get bored , yes, but I am not the target buyer of this bike. for what it attempts to be it is brilliant. It seemed pretty well put together to me. It is an evoluton of years of development and sells very well so it cant be that bad.
