GWS hopefully everything heals up quickly and cleanly

$1500 is a fair price for the 2008 at this time of the year. 10km is basically brand new so thats a great deal on the bike. They are great beginner bikes and a lot of fun to ride. Join the 125 forum and read about the mods for yourself, I have some of the mods done on my 125 with 25k km on it...

Given the reputation SON has maybe someone put the coolant in the oil filler (possible explanation for the extra 'oil') Hope no permanent damage was done and the bike performs as it should from now on.

Try the salvage yards, they might have one in decent condition or know a similar part that would fit. You could also try Old Bike Barn (not sure of their internet address but googling should pull it up) sometimes just googling the part will pull up an ebay or simliar source for it. Good luck.

Powder coat for the frame would be great, if you want to strip the bike down to the bare frame. If not, air sprayer is good, rattle can a last resort, although I have seen some rattle can jobs that look really good.

+1 for Rosey Toes, depending on your location kneedragger88 (Ken) could also be a good choice.

It's a cbr 125, they have turn signals instead of frame sliders... I thought everyone knew that :laughing8:

Does anyone know what happened on the west bound QEW last night between Cawthra and 427? I was going east and saw the entire QEW blocked off by a large number of cops.

Having seen the cbr 250 being ridden at a track by someone who knows what they are doing it's a good idea to get an exhaust thats mounted in a different place as the stock one scrapes the ground before the pegs when leaning on that side. To an extent part of the modding done to bikes is for...

A 125 can do 135/140 if the wind is blowing the right way or it's downhill :laughing8:

Re: Rider Down - Me: Steeles & Mississauga (cannot start new threads in fallen rdrs) Holy balls of steel there man, they made a dent in the tank. GWS, glad you are well enough to be typing.

Just because you buy a bike somewhere doesnt mean that you have to take it there for service. Buy the bike from the place thats cheapest, get the service done somewhere reputable. A lot of people buy the service manual and learn how to do at least the oil change on their own. At the end of the...

You shouldn't have an issue doing it on a 250, I've been to Quebec on a 125 carrying camping gear. If you're concerned about revving your engine (they are designed to be high revving) think about taking highway 2 to Quebec (although I would 401 it to at least Oshawa, it's not the easiest road to...

I had a similar situation where someone tried to share my lane with me. They asked not to go through insuarnce etc etc (cops were called to the scene so I didnt ave to report it to them) I gave them 24hrs to get back to me with the cash, they didn't (they were 100% at fault got charged with an...

Saw you all. All roughly 130 of you at Burito Boyz, good turnout.

Get Well Soon. You will be able to get some money from this, it will come out of the other driver's insurance (liability) and also your own insurance will cover your gear and lost income due to the accident (accident benefits). Get a lawyer as soon as possible, if you're in school of some sort...

A lot of people ride them once and swear they will never ride ever again. They are not the bike most people would recommend as a first bike as they are relatively expensive to maintain, insure and fix. Get an insurance quote or several before you buy a bike, for a first bike either look for...

Riding a slow bike fast is a lot more fun than riding a fast bike slow

+1 either get a 125 or 250, with your weight you wouldnt need much more, I ride a 125 on 401/409/427/QEW all the time, although it isnt stock which helps. If you plan on doing a lot of 2 up riding get a 400 (400r) or ex/gs 500. Remember insurance is a combination of time spent riding/accidents...

I think it's a newspaper editor issue, the impression I got was the ride was US based, so from southernmost US state to Northernmost US state, as opposed to Southernmost point in North America to Southernmost point in North America.
