Knee Dragging with Honda CBR 125 R

This is me having my first knee drags on my brandnew Cbr 125. Pure fun! It is the 4th day I'm owning it and the 3rd time riding it. It has only 100km yet :D

super gemacht.

ich hab die gleiche nur in blau weiß und bei mir schleift eher die fußraste als das knie ich denk mal da muss ich mich weiter von der cbr lehnen oder?

Hi

erstmal danke :)

ja, du musst dich weiter rüberhängen. die fußrasten setzen bei der cbr leider schon relativ früh auf, ist halt kein supersportler ... :/ :D egal

mit viel hangoff klappt es!! immer schön auf die blickführung achten, in die kurve blicken, dann geht es wie von selbst

viel spaß!!

would i be able to get my knee down in my cbf 125, the tyres are roughly the same as the cbr, i'm just not sure about it

[valenthimo]

if it is just about the bike: yes

but on my bike i use 100 (front) and 120 (rear) tires. Bridgestone BT45. They are a lot better than the IRCs.

But it is possible though. You definitely will have to warm up your tires thoroughly in order to avoid them slip away.

good luck

help me !!!! im 1.88 ,,am i too tall 4 this bike ?

[valenthimo]

it is possible like everything is possible

but i am 1.83 an the bike looks kind of small ;)

maybe you should go for the yzf125r

try a varadero 125, they are huge but the acceleration is slow, nice bike though.

I agree on the frame thing ;-)

did not ride an nsr yet

[valenthimo]

The tyres are Bridgestone BT45 100 (front) and 120 (rear)

I did already slope it that much that the gearbox lever started touching the ground, but not in this video ;-)

It is no problem to get it onto the footpegs with the michelin tyres you have.

Try it on a warm day and get the tyres warm before it and take a good road surface

This is a slow speed, approx. 40 km/h in 2nd gear

cheers

Are thoes the stock tyres?

Also do you think you could possibly get the bike lower or not?

I am scared about slipping and the damage that will be done to my bike. Fairings are damn expensive.

I have a 2006 model with some Michelin Pilot Sporty tyres.

What gear were you in and approx what speed were you doing?
