Hi everyone, New guy here.

[oldrider]

Haven't been on a bike for over 20 + years. Every warm summer night I still miss it!! Decided I'd better get back into it before I get any older. Looking at cbr 125's. Cheap nimble, and easy on fuel and insurance. I'm 6 foot and better than 260 pounds, and look like a dog humping a football on them.... who cares. I am now old enough not to care about what I look like to others. Small bikes are a blast, and to me more fun than a heavy bike. My opinion. So lets hope I find a good one cheap. Looking forward to it!!!
Jeff

Welcome to the forum! Have you thought of a 250 instead of the 125?

Yes I have, but I can't really find any that are what I consider reasonable. Maybe I'm just cheap............

I'm a big guy, road the CBR125 for my motorcycle safety course. I always say it's the most fun you can have with your pants on

Welcome back, lots of us here have returned after years off bikes...(myself included).

"Midlife Crisis"???

Welcome!! I just got back into biking toward the end of the summer as well - after 25 years away. Great to be back. My wife refers to it as my last whim or my little mid-life crisis. I had a kz650 back in the early '80s. I always thought it was gutless so I went the opposite direction and got an R1100. Very happy with it. You might want to check out the smaller Beamers. They are light, very comfortable, and have amazing handling.
