Not a Monster but I actually chose to ride it in a session at a trackday instead of my Monster.


Honda CBR125 - fits into a racing class here called a commuterlite. Minimal mods, bike has about 14 hp. You have it PINNED everywhere. Good fun, handles pretty nicely too (and that's on stock suspension...). A friend of mine races them and does well in them (as he does on everything) and he kindly let me have a go.


Proof I also rode the Monster.

Actually, the CBR125R is a 4 stroke. Hehe.

I have a friend who races Ninja 250s and he let me have a go with his fully kitted out race bike. Keeping it pinned everywhere was an understatement. I had to wrap my brain around keeping the throttle pinned going through a corner I would take at about 1/4 throttle on my GSXR750. hehe.

Yep you're on the money, 4 stroke. 14 throbbing hp at the back tyre running just velocity stacks, not allowed ecu mods so resistors on the pressure/temp sensor to richen it up. I think they're a 110 rear tyre? Anyway plenty of grip.

Eastern Creek is a fairly open and flowing circuit so it really is pinned everywhere. Back to 4th in a couple of spots, and a few lifts in 6th as it won't turn without some weight on the front, other than that, PINNNNNNNNED.

127 km/h down the main straight. Was in the novice group at the trackday and consequently caught a few of the guys in the tighter stuff. The owner can punt it around at respectible pace for that group, I figured I wouldn't bin it and went about 80%. Was fun, though a 20 minute session takes a loooooong time on it.

It's very unnerving coming up a corner for which you brake at about a 125 m mark, whereas on the CBR you're pinned till well just about entry.Lift, sit up, bash back two gears, let it wiggle, lean it, pin it again.

The CBR 125cc was my first bike ...and it was incredible fun !!! Always on the limit  Shocked  the thing has no grip so it was sliding all over the place!!  Grin  but since it a small bike it was really forgiving waytogo  I cried when I sold it   Cry

I'm glad people enjoy some action on small Hondas.



That's me a few months back on a Honda CT110. We call them posties here, I understand they were sold in the states till 1986. All our postmen use them for deliveries and they are almost unkillable. Pirelli Scorpion junior MX tyres fit them which is excellent for off road.

beginning of the year in Almeria Spain



and back on the Monster about three weeks ago in Zandvoort Netherlands -    Undecided have to admit the Monster is not exhilarating as a 190 bhp BMW, but still LOTS of fun  Dolph

Action!

I've been dicking around with the R6 so much I haven't ridden the Duc in a while. She's angry with me, fouled her plugs and won't start off the crank. Temperamental little b*tch, how I still love you!
