    the ybr`s are nice bikes to ride tbh, I think im swinging more that way now ive found the solution to the gearbox issues, but im going to have to get a cheap £300 ped and ride that for a bit

    Ive not heard of any gearbox problem, and I work for a yamaha main dealer, another 2 to think about are the yzf125r and the wr125, same engine in both, not had any problems with them (well there was a fuel pump recall on the yzf)

    curlyblakeybiker had a issue selecting 2nd from 1st and when he did it clunked in, its a issue loads of people had from what ive been reading and it means a full oil change (id do regularly anyway) but its bloody expensive everytime it happens and some people have had to do it twice a month.

    going to take my time looking at 125`s now, im in no rush because i didnt get that job, gonna get a little 50cc to putter about on while i find the right 125, i really like the yzf125r tbh but the insurance costs scare me :)

    my vf has trouble between first and second (well it clunks), all bikes do, its the two gears you use most, the selector barrel thing gets a bit worn is all

    my 125 clunks its way into first, abit disconcerting when the bike wants to lurch forward :)
