Just got to ride faster through the corners or slip the clutch a lot, If you can ride a 125 to its potential you can ride anything quick, the work rate you have to put in makes you a lot better rider than if you go straight to a big power bike.

agree the KTM's have a good spec and powerful motor, but the riding position seems odd and the handling doesnt quite match the jap bikes.

U'd be suprised how much abuse a C90 can take, more than a motoX bike.
Seen one dropped abused like TG did with the truck, crashed, thrown, abused, dropped off a building, but instead of inflating the tyres, just left with D shapes wheels, and STILL ridden
I'll leave now

m8 ive just brought a pit bike and to be honest im surprised how quick it is, its a 150cc 4-stroke with 15bhp and it is an animal
look on www.funbikes.co.uk mine is the cobra 699 quid and it is a very good bike for the money

agreed, I still enjoy push bikes but its a different kind of rush, and I find motorbiking more physically demanding, you feel drained physically and mentally after a few hours riding.

Yep you got to try it, I thought my pushbike days would help when riding, the only thing the same is the fact it has 2 wheels. Cant beat a good ride on a pushbike though as long as you got somewhere decent to ride.
