My (newish) YBR 125

They are, I've seen more meat on a chicken wing, my cbr125 had the same wheels and they were ****, no trust in them at all.
So you would not ride any older bikes then RG500 LC 350 GS1000 e.t.c all had thin tyres I had 100% confidence on my 125s.
I also used to carry my balls around in a wheel barrow many years ago

Thanks for all your replies! Really itching to get back on it as I haven't really had the chance to this week. I'll probably manage to this weekend 
Booked my module 1 unrestricted test for the end of April and I should probably book my module 2 asap too.
Mods wise I'll probably get the iridium spark plug done for the service this March and the tyres as well. Brakes I can do myself though when they need doing. I'll look at the exhaust system in the next few weeks.
Really looking forwards to putting the miles on it though

That's a fair point tom_e!
I bought front pads a while back ready to fit, my wear indicator still shows I've got some meat left on the rear shoes as well but I should prioritise tyres and the spark plug I think and look at the air feed system as well. But as has already been mentioned, I probably shouldn't chase power and put the good money on a big bike.
I'm going to probably go for an extended ride this afternoon to this evening, maybe find a quiet area to practice low speed manoeuvres too in preparation for my mod 1 practical.
There is a Yamaha dealership near me, who will be able to do my service for me. It looks like the services were done every 6 months by the previous owner - does that seem reasonable for a bike?
