I saw some of the CBR types aswel. I am looking for a good reliable street bike to get me going on a 14km every day.
The idea of getting a street bike came to me when i start training for the street bike license 125cc. I was riding a Honda CBR 125 and i realy enjoyed inside of the town and when i was testing speeds.
What are your thoughts? Scratch all that and go for a used car?
pic related its the Honda, please do ignore the watermark.

Just get a HONDA XR650L you fucking POOOSY
Leo Reyes
You will get over a 125 in about a month. Why do you want a "sport" bike anyway?
Ryan Campbell
Are you limited to 125cc? If so, the CBR125 is alright, Grom/msx125 and the WR125 are also breddy gud. If you're not limited to 125's then there are better beginner bikes that you won't get bored of within a week. Also refer to /dbt/.
Lincoln Turner
>Also refer to /dbt/ Please dont /dbt/ is a terrible place
Connor Bell
I imagine you don't live in America but 125cc has to work really hard at "higher" speeds. 60mph/100ish kmph will have the bike screaming like a banshee.
Lucas Brown
I want an IN city bike not to climb a mountain I have a license for a car and for bikes up to 125cc. I don't really want a sport bike i just want a street-bike because i rode one before and because its either that or a car.
Austin Peterson
>125 >screaming at high rpm Nope, more like a long, sustained, weak fart.
Wyatt Lewis
Bikes are less maintenance too.
Cameron Foster
Get a Wr125 or any other 125 dual sport and sumo it, you'll have a blast around town.
Levi Collins
Then youre probably good with whatever. I personally avoid hondas. But thats just me. Take the weight of the bike into conaideration. Its pretty important at low speeds
Andrew Garcia
It's still loud as shit. Apparently someone has small penis syndrome to think size means volume.
Alexander Lopez
That is good to know, i know people who go through a lot of shit in car service how come avoid Hondas?
Dylan Lee
Sratch that. Bikes are easier maintenance. Not less. All 125cc bikes I know have chain drives. Those need 500mi maintenance. Also consider if it is dangerous to drive on wet roads (some are more dangerous than others). Plus don't forget the expense of proper gear ie helmet, boots, jacket, pants, waterproof bag, etc.
Jaxson Morales
Friends that have had them. Nothing but problems. Plus valve issues seem to be their thing these days. Dont know if its all their engines or certain ones. I figure its better not to waste my time. Ive stuck with yamaha and ktm
Benjamin Taylor
I've experienced wobble in the steering on honda dirt bikes. Maybe it was the owners misuse?
Ryan Adams
you can't ride an RS125 because it's as powerful as a CBR250R. you don't want to ride the R-125 because they're way too edgy for daily use I've ridden with a military bro who rides a CBF125 and he didn't keep up with a group of 600+ bikes, but eventually arrived. In the city it'll be very much enough.
Adrian Bailey
Going out on a limb here. 850cc but it's CVT transmission and is easy to ride. Too bad they're no longer made. Like a big scooter but with power.
Easton Murphy
>cvt W000000000000000T
the closest thing you're gonna get to that today is a honda NC750 DCT because it also has an automatic transmission but is heavy and has no power. or... if you're gonna get a license you can just get an SV650
Oliver Price
I will go for a license for higher cc but 850cc right now is kinda overkill. Powerfull as in top speed?
Oliver King
the standard 2-stroke RS125 (with exhaust servo, without restrictors or catalytic convertor) made over 20hp and could go 90mph. so technically you can't ride one on an 11kW restriced license.
fuckin lovely bike though.
Elijah Torres
>RS Two stroke, good power and actually quite well built. Insanely fun when tuned properly >YZF Looks like a big bike, but sounds like a lawnmower unless you put a proper exhaust on it. Not as fast as you'd like, I can promise you that >CBF Lightweight, drinks nearly no fuel at all, easy to work on and reliable. I took my lessons & 125cc-license on one of those
Pic somewhated related; my Virago 125
Elijah Rogers
U wot m8
Tyler Taylor
CBF looks like the choise i ll go for.
And i did find something similar to your Virago 125, they are selling Daytona HERCULES 125 brand new 1.395 euros, so now i am considering something like that.

Jonathan Phillips
Bikes like that are built to be one thing; cheap. Absolutely no point in buying one when you can buy a lightly used japanese/italian bike
You'll notice veeery quickly where they've skimped on the expenses. Paint flaking, cheap rubber, cheap tires, seat fabric will tear and wrinkle, steel will rust, chrome will pit and fade and so on
Caleb Garcia
They indeed seemed fishy to me. Thank you for clearing that up. I'll defently go for a used cbf instead then.
