LOL ok mate well I still hope you have fun running it in :P
125 fuel tanks are epic WIN! £20 for an all day ride xD probably even less for a 4 stroke!

enjoy............£20 lasts me ermmm not long ;D
i put £5 in just for a little blip about.....did 18miles and light was back on :D
125s are great, £12 for 200 miles of motoring - that'll do nicely!
But then you get a shock when you move up to a bigger engine and run out of fuel after 150miles! :-[
Enjoy the new bike 8-)
have fun and enjoy the bike
take it steady while running it in and get used to it - keep it rubber side down 8-)

My parents came back from their caravan trip to devon today and i found my dad with his leg over it... ;)
Am dead chuffed with it, nearly everyone has asked me "are you sure its a 125?" lol
Iget about 150 miles now to £20 on my gpz 500 dunno if its good or not was doing bout 30 before as the choke was on abit as the cable was damaged . Glad your new bike has arrived Pete run it in properly and it will be a superb bike im sure .If you fancy a ride about tuesday evening or going to the H/C wednesday night ill be happy to plod along with you ,untill you get more confident and miles on it .
Enjoy your bike.......I loved the fact it only took about £7 to fill my YBR up......the 500 is a different matter altogether !! hehe
That reminds me.....Caz, I owe you 50p from our trip the other week to Loomies hehe :) :) :)
