CB125R first bike ever!
I’m 42, more of a car guy and already drive my dream cars, but always wanted to learn how to ride a bike. I can ride a 125 with my car license to after al those years I finally bought my first gear shift bike ever!
I already have 3 years experience on a 125cc scooter, Kymco Agility, for work commute and I enjoyed it.
Now, couple of years later I was thinking of a bike again and went searching. The CB125R had good reviews so and I like Honda! Have a Type R so… 😎
So I went to a shop and bought a brand new CB125R in zefiro blue, not many color choices so and I like colors!
Bought my gear thinking I could ride it home right away, NOT. I always stalled, after some practice it went better but I didn’t felt confident enough to ride it home so I decided to let it bring home, what they did! Thx for that!
Now I’m practicing on a private road and parking lot and after an hour I felt confident enough to go on public roads. Very fun to ride, and the experience with the scooter helped me much! Just the left hand needed some practice because of the clutch, think that was the problem for stalling al the time, with the scooter it was also for breaking.
The only thing I struggle is riding slow, what’s the best way to ride slow in traffic, most clutch control or?
Any other tips are welcome!
