Hello from CROATIA

[napster107]

I already have a post in the "how do I introduce myself" thread so here's a copy


I'm 16 years old and I've been a member of this forum for a while now but I haven't introduced myself yet.
I have yet to do the 125cc exam so I can start riding and become a full member of the motorcycling community
I've been learning english since I was around 4 or 5 years old and it's like my second native language so I won't have any problems understanding all of you.
I don't have a camera yet, but I plan to buy one soon, and it'll probably be a GoPro 2

I also already have a dillema for what bike to buy... I'm not sure should I go for a 2100 pound '07 125 Yamaha xt with loads of equipment (including stands and a topcase) at an expense of it being a bit slower, or a 2450 pound '10 125 Yamaha yzf with hid's and it being faster that the xt, what do you guys recommend?

Oh, and correct me if I'm wrong, but when/if I start to motovlog, I'll be the first one from Croatia, right?

I test rode a YZF, and they aren't as fast as everyone makes out. Top out at 72 mph, and I personally found it very hard to handle at low speeds. The XT is a great bike, a real all rounder, and i nearly bought one instead of the YBR I bought.

But, at the end of the day, its up to you, and I also think that I'll be the only person voting for the XT!

thank you, the xt maybe alse more practical because i have something like a weekend house in the woods, but what's the top speed of the xt?

 

[LittleDevilBiker]

I use a YZF Daily for a 50 mile commute, i usually get a good 76mph but i ran it in really well from new!

Its all personal preference, test drive some! I myself love the YZF it is a perfect all round bike for me!

Up to you on personal choice to be honest.

Welcome

Hi and welcome along!

It really makes no difference what 125 you get as they've all just been designed for old grannies to get their shopping on right? :lol:

 

[gpzDave]

Obviously I was just kidding, 125's are fun bikes. The two you are looking at are quite different so I guess it depends whether you like the thought of an off road type bike or a sportsbike. I do like the look of the YZF125 one of my friends had one for a while and he loved it.

I would chose the XT, but just go for the bike you really want - you must have some kind of preference!

Hiya there,

ive got an honda xr 125, which is quite similar to the xt. ive also ridden the yzf. Personally i would recommend the xt, because they can carry top boxes, side panniers etc. Also it is a nice, upright riding position. Plus you can do some offroading with the xt!
