      Thank you Mary, and a big congratulations on passing your bike test. The Suzuki is a great little starter bike, we actually regret selling it now, I know theirs some cheaper Chinese bikes but the Suzuki is far better quality and you’ll alway get a good re-sell price if you can buy at the right price. Ride safe and enjoy.

    One thing to get ingrained right from the start is shoulder checks and frequent exaggerated mirror checks (the examiners love those).

      I have it in the same color, have had it for about 2 and a half years now, everytime there is a mirror or a any reflective surface around me in stoplights I sneak a peek .. she looks so beautiful. And it's such a brilliant ride. Pokey, precise handling, insane brakes (I've ridden a cb500f and the Suzuki has better brakes). And it's built very well . No issues so far .. was definitely extremely lucky to get it . Last one that was sold in my country, they stopped importing them here.. and I bought the last one they had.

      Hi Keven, I can’t wait to have go myself (roll on the sunny days) this was the end can I bought a 400mm Oval Black Stainless Slip On Silencer from black widow. I only had to buy the end because the bike had already had a black widow full system when we bought it. Happy rides Kev.

    Hi Simon, great video, you’ve earned a sub. I have a quick question, at 6ft 2 would I be too tall for the gsx s125?

    • @thatbikersimon
      @thatbikersimon  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Hi Mark, I would honestly say yes. one of the reasons we bought this bike was because of it low seat height. If I was you I would probably go for KTM or a Yamaha MT 125 if I remember correctly these were great bikes for taller people.

    A little late to the conversation, however, well done Amy, has she took her theory and past her A2, if so, has she got a new bike? Is there a video on her motorbike journey??
    Great, vid, 👍👍

    • @thatbikersimon
      @thatbikersimon  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Unfortunately she’s back to square one as she broke her wrist a week before the full bike test and it’s taken a while to get right. But on a positive note she got a new 125cc bike again and will be back in the saddle soon 👍

      I've shown this video to my Mrs, she's about 5.3, so similar height, well a little shorter than Amy, I'm encouraging her to start taking lessons, so to actually watch a female newbie learning and watching her journey is working and the choice of bikes would be a good indication, of what she needs for when she starts taking lessons. 👍

      I should know this but I’m guessing 5ft 5 but these bikes are so light you won’t need to flat foot. You’ll be fine with sliding your ass to one side or the other if height is a issue

      Unfortunately for her, she broke her wrist and it didn’t heal correctly, so that was a set back. Then she stated back having the lessons again on the MT07 and ended up in hospital again with another issue. So she’s not had much luck so the plan is to start again in the new year. She’s keen to crack on tho 👍
