Welcome Rick,

Nothing wrong with a 125 mate! Looking forward to meeting you in Cambridge for the leg of the charity ride http://www.abrac.org.uk/2013-ride.html

Cheers

Hi over here Rick, I'm like you, sticking with my 125cc, and my L's for now. Maybe see you at a meet and definitely at the Ace.

Hi Rick, Welcome to the Forum. You might know me from the facebook forum - the one who post Instagram pics :laugh:.

Fairplay,

Maybe I should have tried a Derbi, I'm mucho looking forward to scrapping my 125 and and trying a 250. A2 starts tomorrow, I must admit the cost of the training and test is absurd though...

as im not one for speeds this bike suits me just fine, the top speed i had out of her was 74mph and thats with me weighing a heafty 20st on a dual carriageway.
what sort of 250 you have in mind?
and good luck with your test hope all goes well

Hello Rick and welcome to ABR.

Hey Rick,

Jeez, I'm 12st and my DR125 after much fettling still only does 56MPH..

I'm looking at the CRF250L. Although if the ALP Beta 4.0 is any good and a similar price I might go for that instead.

Today was cold but awesome, I have picked up some really bad habits in the last year and my trainer was ace. The power of the Suzuki GS500 was initially terrifying and impossible to control on the slow sections and then intoxicating in the fast bits. Seven hours in the saddle at 0degrees was hard work but I am already looking forward to tomorrow.
