Thanks for your question UMD. I have done a few long distance rides on the CB125 now and both have been favourable against other light bikes I have owned. Recently I went from Aldershot to Luton and back through the Chilterns without issue. That's about 150 miles round trip without much in the way of stopping. I find that if I sit at 50 mph as a cruising speed it seems to ride nice. The Michelin tyres help with comfort also. Bear in mind that I'm a big lad at 18 stone and I usually have comfort issues sitting for so long but not so with the CB and no shoulder ache either. It's the nice upright position for sure that helps.

Thank you for your comments. I am still learning to use the camera but thought it came out OK. I have considered an aftermarket exhaust but I am wondering if the engine note might be tiring after a long journey. I purchased the panniers from Motorcycle Planet in London. The pannier frame number was PL1142. I am waiting for some brackets to be made and then I will fit the new auxiliary lights I mentioned and post a video of the results soon along with results of the new Philips LED headlight bulb. This bike has an ACG output of just 202 watts so saving power to run other accessories is a necessity. More will follow soon. Also planned is a Koso Voltmeter to monitor the state of the battery.

@scootyman29747 жыл бұрын
Danny Wilce Hi Danny. I had no problems at all with the slightly narrower tyre. It was so minimal and when you consider the contact patch would be virtually the same on either tyre, I don't think it made a difference. For your reference though, I have been looking closely at another CB125F (I sold mine) and after a bit of research I found out there is a new tyre by Continental being launched in the spring of 2017 in the size 80/100-18 and one for the rear also. I believe it will be called a ContiCity. It's a lovely retro triangular pattern tread and I think it suits the bike down to the ground. If you prefer Michelins though, I give the 2.75-18 a thumbs up in my book but as always I would have to say do it at your own risk (legal disclaimer haha) Best regards
@stevel20276 жыл бұрын
I've had a few dicey moments but managed to control it ok. But its the only bike i've ever ridden so not sure how much difference a fat tire would make. The very first junction i do on my way to work has a friggin manhole cover right in the middle of the road. Accelerating and turning when you've literally just woke up and rubbing eyes... the wheel just wants to go under. So yeah avoid any quick turns if its even remotely damp, cause you might die of embarrassment dumping your bike on its side in the middle of traffic lol

(usually dad brings me down in the car, but this means I can buy me a Cb125f and travel by myself ^^) honestly! thanks! PS. Did your panniers come with a set of matching keys? (eg 1+ 1-2 identical spares) or did you get separate Keys with different locks for the panniers?
@scootyman29748 жыл бұрын
+Garreth Kelly Hi Gareth. You get a pair of keys that open both boxes. In my honest opinion, these givi boxes are good but (and it's a big BUT), I found over time they slowed the bike down due to the drag they create. The steel carriers for them are heavy. Add on top of this the panniers themselves and your belongings and you have a very heavy rear end on the bike. It wasn't good to load on either side or main stand. When I made this video I loved them. Over time the novelty wore off and I went back to my Givi EA101 soft panniers. Watch my other videos and you will see my setup on the Innova125 that I took to Scotland. Now that was A great setup! Only my opinion but if you are riding distance on a 125 you want to make it as easy as possible. My CB 125F was sold and I bought a Suzuki VanVan. I'm always changing my bikes and I'll probably buy another CB as I've got some other mod ideas in the pipeline for this bike. Lots I liked about it. Ride safe

Are you happy using these panniers ? I look small panniers to my cbr
@scootyman29747 жыл бұрын
I was happy with the panniers. However, one thing that I discovered after a little use is they are not so aerodynamic and because of the combined weight of the frame, top box and panniers themselves, the bike would tip backwards lifting the front wheel off the floor once loaded. This isn't really a problem but it will change the dynamic of your CBR in my opinion from a sleek sports bike to something more cumbersome to handle. It makes life harder when manoeuvring on and off the stand (side or main stand if you have) so I would recommend the Givi EA101 fabric panniers because they fit closer to the bike and expand if you buy anything whilst touring. I did like the plastic panniers alot and love the security they bring but they are heavy in comparison as I said before. Hope that helps
