Oh no, no, no, no! Gladius is nothing like the SV, I feel insulted.

misterjingo · 24 Jan 2017 at 20:42

haha I'll have to try and get on an SV now to compare and contrast

Well I'll be going to MCN London and whilst sure the bike I end up with won't be a new model it'll give me some idea of ergonomics.

Bought my CBF125 yesterday. Quite happy with it, only gripe is the tyres, has these TVS ones on which i'm going to replace with something a bit more roadworthy.

Budget tires are great until they get wet...just like car tires....just you have more to lose on a bike

What are they? 70/110?

TallPaul_S · 29 Jan 2017 at 21:32

I *think* michelin pilot sporty are a good 125 tyre for all weather.

They're, had them on my KTM!

Confidence inspiring tyre, Idk why I waited so long to change tyres back when I had my 125.

The CBF has stupidly thin tyres, there'll be a much more limited choice for it.

80/100 100/90

Captain · 29 Jan 2017 at 22:41

So which one?

LoopyOrc · 29 Jan 2017 at 22:41

Well i'm going by the spec on the site, that's front and rear sizes

Captain · 29 Jan 2017 at 22:52

You using mcn for those? Shouldnt be too expensive for that size.

LoopyOrc · 29 Jan 2017 at 22:57

Yeah MCN, also checked the Honda site. Seen a set of Pirelli's for about £95 on the bay.

Pirelli mt75 are what I had on mine, you have change the sizes slightly to 90/80/17 front

100/80/17 rear but they are great tyres for the CBf 125

LoopyOrc · 1 Feb 2017 at 09:09

I had a choice between Pirelli MT75 and Angel CT's. Went for Angel CT's in the end, having them fit Tuesday
