  • the right 125er [a few questions]

    Hello dear community! I’m sorry if I ended up here in the wrong forum section, but that’s my first entry so since I’m not too angry It’s about the following: like out of nothing the motto wheel got me excited, because my mother and my father are enthusiastic cross- and road-machine drivers. As you know, since Jannuar the 125cc rule is valid in Austria and Germany (which I don’t have to explain since I’m the new one) and that’s why I want to join ric so: my route is about 300 km long (school –> boarding school) and for that I am looking for a good motorcycle, with the right performance, should get to the 120 already, but also fun with curvy roads, because at the weekends I also sometimes stay in the boarding school and sometimes also drive to the city, which is about 30 min away. I already looked at: *Duke 125 *Yamaha YZF r125 * Aprillia RS 125 my friend says the Aprillia RS 125 2 beat i I could not get such a good picture of the duke and the yamaha. Any advice or other? (sorry if there are spelling errors) Lg xNewRiderx125 p.s: I know that this topic is sucked out, but because of the special requirements regarding the distance I wanted to ask

  • I’m thinking about it.

    Hello first. Have a question to you what you think about it. So: I will be in 1 nem year 16, since I want to make the 125cc driving license I have already looked around for a “motorcycle”. So there is the problem: because I have to wait another 1 year until I can drive then. I found a machine which is needed but Topp condition. I thought to buy it although I have to wait another 1 year. Since I like the model and it is just 600€ cheaper. And I just don’t want the s he who buys differently. Jez I wanted to ask you what do you think about buying motorad before I have the driver’s license (which we made in such 5 months). Mfg. FreestyleHD

  • Tips, tricks and experiences regarding used purchase!!

    Hello together. Like many others I also look for a used light wheel, because I can’t afford an expensive one ;/. That’s why I wanted to ask how that was with you with the used purchase. Here a few ideas: – Did you buy your motorcycle private or from a dealer? – Which type of motorcycle you are looking for, what kind of performance / should your motorcycle (have), of which brand is your motorcycle? – How many KM had your motorcycle down than you did it bought? – How much did you pay? – Were you sponsored by your parents and relatives? If so, how much did they pay (also with regard to driving license) – What are your parents/relatives on the subject of motorcycle? (are they against/for? Are there other motorcyclists in the family) – How did you find your motorcycle? (e.g. via Mobile.de or friends etc.) – How long did you take to get your motorcycle at home? Tips and tricks are also available. And of course you can write more and more. Now briefly to me: I am 17 years old and come from NRW. I have been interested in motorcycles for almost 2 years and am currently driving my A1 driver’s license (didn’t even have my first driving lesson yet -.-). I had a big problem that my whole family was against buying a motorcycle. Except for my father, to whom I finally owe that I’m going to buy a motorcycle. I can therefore only spend about 1500€ on my motorcycle, since I am only financed by my father. At the moment I watch a Suzuki VL intruder, 14 HP and 9,000km down for 170€. I’m only looking for Honda Shadows, Suzuki Intruders and Yamaha Viragos, because the rest are too expensive or too low-performance. Overall I contribute 1500€ to the driver’s license and motorcycle. The rest pays (hopefully) my father I am happy about every answer, thank you!

  • First 125ccm

    Hello dear community, I will start my A1 soon, but I don’t know exactly which 125 is best suited in things consumption, maintenance and price.. I have a maximum of 1500€ available and would buy me a used one, would be nice if you could help me somehow to get the most suitable one… Many greetings!

  • Yamaha Virago 125 Top Speed ????

    Hello, I’ve read a few threads about the Yamaha Virago 125 on the internet and here in the forum. At one point I’m not conclusive and I find many different opinions: How high is the top speed at an unstirred Yamaha Virago 125 now? My Yamaha Virago 125 from the driving school drives just under 120 km/h Then I’ve read the following speeds: 95 km/h 107 km/h 90 km/h My Virago 125, which I have at home, also only drives kanga 9 5 km/h in 4th gear. If I switch to 5th gear, it even loses speed. The control box is the open version. I would also like to reach 120 km/h like the one in the driving school. How fast does the Yamaha really drive with you?

  • First driving hour A1

    Servus, just had my first driving lesson and I have to say, I would have imagined it easier… First we are to the practice site and there I was allowed to start for the first time on a bike. So it was so that I made it 1x and then strangled again 1x, I don’t know, he meant I had to concentrate much more. So, then turn around went somewhat, later came the switching, from the 1st to the 2nd gear, then into the 3rd gear, again down to the 2nd gear, then a curve, back up into the 3rd gear, down into the 2nd, into the 1st and then turn. I had animal problems, which meant I still have. I’m already really desperate, I even had the feeling that this never will, but that’s one of the most important things. My problem was simply that I was much too overwhelmed, even my left foot didn’t want as I wanted, for example, when I was in the 2nd and then turned up in the 3 and then rant again. It would take forever for me to get my foot on the gear lever.. Also before turning I had problems, that I brake down, switch down and still blink and look around and then turn around… I would be interested as with you the first driving lesson was? I was also really excited and had the feeling that my FL was really annoyed… Do you have any tips? :S

  • Driver’s license A2

    Since January 2013 the laws for driving licences have changed. Who has the old A1 for at least 3 years, can acquire the A2 by only taking the practical examination (and of course exists). I now have the old driver’s license 3, which includes the A1 (up to 125ccm). For three years I drive a BMW C1 and want to switch to the BMW C1 200. A demand at the TÜV resulted: you can only register for the test via a driving school! d Fee for registration for the exam. I should also take some driving hours. Danaben is the actual exam fee of ca75,-€ a crack. I have the feeling I should be excluded. Does anyone know a cheaper way?

  • Roller trip

    Hello guys, I drive a Piaggio Sfera 50 (the slightly younger model) and plan a tour to Scotland in summer with it (approx. 3000km) for 6 weeks. She ran almost 20,000km, the last inspection was at 16,000km. She runs great, also jumps at -15°C at the first step and drives good 50kmh (beginning, before about 2000km she drove 60 according to Tacho, why ever). Now I want to be sure (as far as possible at least) that he will also pass the track. What do you think ic h perform for maintenance? Make me especially care about things like crankshaft bearings (my last scooter (Honda Lead) broken – economic total damage). Maybe someone of you has tips and advice for me. Would be very grateful! Best regards, Andi

  • Motorcycle driving – tips & tricks?

    Good afternoon, I’ve been looking around the internet for a long time, but I haven’t found anything useful. I’m looking for helpful tips for driving the everyday motorcycle. For example, I’ve read in a magazine you should, if you want to drive a turn on the right side of the handlebars, and the machine puts itself in the curve as on its own. Is that right?? Do you have more tips?? Maybe left?? Thanks in advance….
