125 fuel tanks are epic WIN! £20 for an all day ride xD probably even less for a 4 stroke!

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-)

take it steady while running it in and get used to it - keep it rubber side down 8-)

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 :) :) :)
