Going to McDonalds - Yamaha YZF-R125

[ExoticStormXX]

Can you take someone with you on this bike ? And is it ok for the passenger ? Ty

[Jamie4danielle]

@ExoticStormXX You can but I can't due to being on a license that doesn't allow passengers, but I have replaced the rear seat with a seat cowl anyway. I can't see why it would be a problem though

[Jamie4danielle]

@NorwegianFootballers Lol a few people have said that

[NorwegianFootballers]

that's a long ride to McDonalds :P

[Jamie4danielle]

@terrunt Hilarious isn't it...

[terrunt]

Haha, as if you live in Darwen. :'-)

[92kdizzle]

A like because your from darwen haha

[Jamie4danielle]

@growapair100 My current quote for renewal is 1600 fully comp with 2 years NBC and I'll be 19 when the insurance starts. Or 850 tpft and 400 tpo. All of which include between 250-900 excess too. Insurance works on your area more than anything else. I live in a high crime area which is why it is so expensive

[growapair100]

How much is the insurance for that bike yearly and how old are you?

[Jamie4danielle]

Erm... WOW!! 14,000 views... I never knew that a ride to Mc Donalds could attract so much attention so I'd like to say thanks to all my subscribers and viewers. Have a Happy New Year!!

[Jamie4danielle]

@NoLimitsTV1 Thanks. I'm using the GoPro HD 960

[Jamie4danielle]

@TheTopScouser1892 Look through my videos and it has the gear that I wear

[TheTopScouser1892]

what gloves are they. they go really well with the bike and jacket.

[TheOnlyMXRider]

transit vans always get in the way!!!

[NoLimitsTV1]

great video. I have a gopro cam what are you using. Very cool video .

[Jamie4danielle]

@jinx20001 possible but I could come off my bike in trainers and lose my entire foot. Not in work at the moment so can't afford proper boots

[lhequatro]

haha i laughed when you covered your face by that annotation , it's okay dude

[huze5]

Since we both live in the UK, how does it cope in the rain? I live in Scotland so its raining a lot of the time.

[Jamie4danielle]

@huze5 Lol it's basically the same here. Constantly rainy. It's great if you upgrade the tyres. It comes with Michelin tyres but they're shit in the wet but if you upgrade, they're ace. Best tyres for it are Pirelli Sport Demon (which I have) and Bridgestone

[huze5]

@Jamie4danielle Ahaha. I see. How much do those tyres roughly cost? And also does the bike weigh a lot or is it light weight? I want an easy to ride one as my first one coz i'm a wimp. :P

[Jamie4danielle]

@huze5 £70 each roughly. The bike is lightweight. I can sway it side to side using only my legs and keep it up without dropping it. Plus when I did drop it, I could pick it back up. I'd never been on a manual bike before this and i found it great

[Jamie4danielle]

@Ihequatro they are basically just areas of the road which aren't meant to be driven on so they paint them on wide areas of the road so there is no silly overtaking

[lhequatro]

i cant understand what those zig-zag line on the road means 

[Jamie4danielle]

@MrKurtyP £3049.99

[MrKurtyP]

how much was your yamaha? looking at getting one, doing my cbt soon

[MrKurtyP]

that thing chipss

[sssrbk]

You were REALLY close behind that red van! You were in his blind zone and if he were to come into any trouble and had to back it up... your bike would have a scratch..

[Jamie4danielle]

@sssrbk That's his problem not mine. So long as he's insured. I can't really come into his view because lorry's drive down that road and there's cars parked on the left. If I'd tried to move into the right so he could see me then there would be a very likely chance of me being hit by on coming traffic. I use that road everyday so I think I know what I'm doing ;)

[sssrbk]

@Jamie4danielle Still, I know I'd get really pissed if my Duke got hit by a van. No matter if he's got insurance or not =D

[Jamie4danielle]

@sssrbk I could get hit by a bus walking down the street. A car could lose control and hit me. If everyone was paranoid constantly then the world would be mad. It's the risk you take, the day you buy a motorcycle.

[sssrbk]

@Jamie4danielle You said you were new to motorcycling when this video was uploaded. So I thought I would comment about something that possibly could've gone wrong. :) And I am not paranoid, I take risks everyday :P On purpose even

[Jamie4danielle]

@sssrbk I was. But I had a moped before I had my Yamaha. I was new to a manual motorcycle.

[lhequatro]

@Jamie4danielle hey it's not wrong getting behind a van with no rear windows , you can use the horn to warn him if he is planning to backup , nice bike anyway. where is this place ?

[Jamie4danielle]

@lhequatro Darwen UK

[Jamie4danielle]

@cmountford09 dunno mate, no audio recording device cos my dog chewed my headphones which I used for the mic. I'll probs just do a riding vid this week

[cmountford09]

nice riding man, when's the next vid out?

thanks

[TheTopScouser1892]

blue bike. or. black and gold bike

[Jamie4danielle]

@TheTopScouser1892 Blueeeeeeeee

[Jamie4danielle]

@pkldogg63 no it's easy. Will take a few days to get used to gearing but after that it's fine. And it's great.

[pkldogg63]

Here is it hard riding a bike btw? because my future bike is actually a YZF R125 in black and gold, im only a 14 year old kid xD. is it great fun? tell me pls.

[pkldogg63]

BTW uve earned a sub.

[pkldogg63]

Hi there what helmet cam u using? hope you dont mind telling :)

[crocop4life]

nice vid man, i just did my manual cbt, this is great insight to how the yzf is.

[jakenoakes15]

what camera?

[Jamie4danielle]

@jakenoakes15 @pkldogg63 GoPro HD Hero 960 using 720p @ 30fps

[fishing1234561]

why dont you overtake all the cars??

[Jamie4danielle]

@fishing1234561 Was new to the bike at this time. Getting used to it as it was my first manual bike

[mk1rob]

Nice video mate! Much better quality than the 46kam I just bought. Nice bike too!

[Jamie4danielle]

@mk1rob Thanks. It's a great camera. I was recording in 720p. It records in 960 too but I thought 720 was best for memory and upload time. Took a while to upload this video. Can't believe it's still getting views because this was only a test run to try the camera mount. I used a chest mount on my first video which didn't go so well

[heroC4]

the video isnt good, but i like your bike :)

greets from germany (sorry when i have a mistake, my english isn´t so good)

[Jamie4danielle]

@heroC4 Read the description. The video is only a camera mount test. Nothing special

[Jamie4danielle]

@pantelos96 haha I was I'll and when I watched it back, I thought oh no what a mess.

[pantelos96]

hahaha! i can see your face by turning off the annotations! :D and you should put the camera a little bit more down... :P

[Jamie4danielle]

@reveni1 are you from Darwen? I want an r6 when I do my test. Ace bikes. 183 mph and it's only a 600cc. The R1 only does 190

[reveni1]

thought id just watch this then realised wtf thats darwen lol. I used to have the r125 the rossi rep but then passed my test and upgraded to an r6. been to that mcdonalds many times myself nice vid

[chainsawz]

Its like going your hazard perception again

[Jamie4danielle]

@IntenseSoldier I can assure you that you won't be disappointed with this bike, it's big, it's stunning, it's does 300 mile per tank which is only £18 to fill, it was voted no.1 most reliable 125cc out on the road by MCN. That pretty much answers everything

[IntenseSoldier]

how is the yamaha yxf r125? I might be getting one after saving up for a long time and need to know if my money is going towards a bike that won't let me down.

[yabba234]

nice jacket and gloves matching your bike in colour!!!

[TheDanceAnthems]

@darrenquirolo1234 im guessing it's so he can take his hand of the clutch to adjust mirrors etc

[Jamie4danielle]

@TheDanceAnthems And that lol

[Jamie4danielle]

@0gami1tto I wear steel toe cap boots now mate. More comfortable and same protection yet alot cheaper lol

[jinx20001]

@Jamie4danielle i know its been a while since you wrote this and you have probably heard it before but i wouldnt put faith in steel toe cap boots unless there is some steel running through the sole, having an accident in those has seen people lose toes, just imagine having a foot down when a car hits you hard from behind, your bike flies forward, your feet attempt to keep you up, your feet bend on the toes and whoops there goes a few toes

[0gami1tto]

get some proper boots mate

[Jamie4danielle]

@darrenquirolo1234 of you're out on long journeys you're wrist starts to ache so it's just become a habit

[Jamie4danielle]

@OptioTheGamer unless you have anything constructive to say, don't comment :D

[joshdudeha]

@Jamie4danielle, oh yeah of course. But at least you're getting the test out the way :) Im in for my theory next Wednesday :D

[Jamie4danielle]

@joshdudeha not yet. Don't really need a bigger bike. I'm keeping this for abit even after my test. It's big enough lol it's same size as a 600cc. Looks abit Niger than the cbr600 when I was in town the other day but the 600cc is wider obviously with the bigger engine

[joshdudeha]

Sounds just like my YBR :P



[Jamie4danielle]

@joshdudeha Exact same engine I think that's why lol

[joshdudeha]

@Jamie4danielle Yeah very similar yours is water cooled though. You going in for your test to get a bigger bike?

[Jamie4danielle]

@Blanxgaze thanks. I'm not doing any recently because weather hasn't been to good and I've had other things to do.

[OptioTheGamer]

@Jamie4danielle what a moron comment...

[Blanxgaze]

I like your vid's, keep it up and make more.

[schnapp1337]

y u drive on the wrong side of the road??? england is so newbish! yzf ftw tho'

[Jamie4danielle]

@schnapp1337 It's not the wrong side. We drive on the left because our cars are right hand drive

[Gomlsaurus]

@Jamie4danielle Can't believe that guy was asking you why you drive on wrong side of the road. Ha some people never learn do they :)

[sPxJooPoo]

@schnapp1337 lol dumb shit.

[Reincarnhate925]

@schnapp1337 why are you on the wrong continent! americans are so newbish!

[schnapp1337]

@Reincarnhate925 I'm from Europe (=

[GarandThumbStudios]

Are you from England, sir?

[Jamie4danielle]

@GarandThumbStudios Yes

[GarandThumbStudios]

@GarandThumbStudios Yeah, I knew looked a lot different than America, including driving on the other side of the road.

[Jamie4danielle]

&juusacknewbb11 I do when it's really bad traffic. Not much point at lights

[juusacknewbb11]

Why don't u put it into neutral gear when ur sitting in the traffic? :P

[Driftkid14]

Great video!

You live near me hehe.

Was you parked up outside the leisure centre today? 

If you was I saw you :)

[Jamie4danielle]

@Driftkid14 Aye you're correct lol

Across from health centre on that horrible gravel shit cos all the parkin bit behind pound shop was full!

[Jamie4danielle]

@JoshTilley121 it's a GoPro HD Hero 960 which cost £107 off eBay

[Jamie4danielle]

@mongrelmob100 now just because you're the homosexual, doesn't mean everyone else has to be

[JoshTilley121]

@Jamie4danielle Cool video man :) what is the name of that camera? coz I'm thinking of getting one

[wickedcusi]

how much was the helmet cam?

[Jamie4danielle]

@wickedcusi £107

[Jamie4danielle]

@mongrelmob100 for the simple reason that i can

[Jamie4danielle]

@husqvarnamax its only a 125cc 4stroke, not a 1200. 83 mph is fast enough. You will find the engine will last a good 80,000 miles unlike a 2 stroke :)

[HusqvarnaMax]

Wow your bike is slow.

[Plus7Please]

@HusqvarnaMax if u dont like it dont buy or watch it

[Filtroxouana]

Very nice quality, next tme make sure to point with the camera at the km/h :)
