Cheers guys I'm really enjoying the bike so far, learned on the naked one which is what I was after at first but then I saw this one, impatience got the better of me 
Need a wider back gate now, it's a really, really tight fit to get the bike through. Keep getting stuck every time. Gate is 2ft6, a 3ft should do nicely with a bigger post so it can actually open all the way.

Did think about getting them in black but I photshopped em first and didnt look right with the silver frame. Was really after them in silver but couldnt find any other then the cheap chinese ones which I didnt want to risk.
Normally anodised blue looks way to bright and a mess but I got these as I think they have got the blue pretty much spot on when you look at the bike as a whole

Well that's my baby.
Lifan 125.
I left it a little late...had lessons for cars but money or circumstances prevented me going further and I lost interest...hit 30 and decided it was time to try it and see what all the fuss was about......safe to say I'm in love.....hoping to do my test soon and then get a proper bike

Just finished putting this back together:
Bought it for pretty much nothing using it to cut my teeth learning about how bikes work, that sort of thing. Referbing calipers is fun.....
Anyway, my 'new' XL600VP in all its glory

Sounds like you've well and truly caught the bug.
I've watched bike racing on the telly for years but had never really considered riding. Just over a year ago, at the age of 25, I thought it was about time I tried it. Well, I thought it was brilliant and got myself a little Yamaha YBR125 which I rode for about six months before doing my test.
I think my thoughts at the time were along the lines of, "Why the hell didn't I do this much earlier?"
Wow, that looks fantastic! Lovely looking bike.

Here's my little number when I bought it about 7/8 years ago now.
CBR600F4i 2001
Not in the same immaculate condition as it was then. Just gone in a for a major service & MOT today, which is going to cost £330 to sort, but it'll be worth it after being laid up for 2 years in the garage.
