@EUMP thank you thats encouraging to hear, especially since one of my friends will be on a YZF R125, but yeah I would have never taken the KR to being a tour bike.

@JoshTilley121 that's fine, if you got any other questions just pop me a message :)

@EUMP hi I live in north wales and im getting one, just wanted to ask whether it starts first time every time when you press the electric start, secondly do you think it would hold its own if I did abit of a biking trip to scotland? cheers- josh

@JoshTilley121 it's always started for me every time, never any struggle of it starting and yeah it would be fine for any journeys, it's more of a sports touring than a sports bike so you will find it more comfortable compared to the YZF R125, but not as comfortable as lets say the honda varadero 125, but it's the best of both worlds

whats the bike like in wet weather? does it slide alot or not ?

ill be traveling 50 miles a day their and back to work

[EUMP]

@raybow1993 it's like any other bike in the rain, tyres are alot bigger than the CBR125's, standard tyres have plenty of grip, when in wet conditions I normally tend to ride in less aggressive style and don't make alot of quick handlebar turns/ low cornering so it's fine in the wet :)

yer ill be keeping it for ages, to get me to work and back so ill get my good use outof it, and most bikes i have been looking at are 2500 second hand

[EUMP]

@raybow1993 haha, i wouldnt buy it new though as you'd lose about a £1000 when coming to resale as it drops value asap, it's like it with 50cc's and 125s

kymco do a set price for 17 year olds for £150 with rac break down cover, only if you buy the bike new
