Thanks for your comments. I did like this bike and if you use it as a 50mph workhorse or tourer you wouldn’t be disappointed with it. There are some easy mods you can also do to improve performance like a drop in larger injector and I believe there are a few exhausts out there that will uplift power slightly. All good fun.

you all probably dont care but does anybody know a way to log back into an instagram account?? I was stupid lost my login password. I appreciate any help you can give me.

@Jayden Layton Instablaster :)

@Ralph Robert I really appreciate your reply. I got to the site thru google and im in the hacking process now. I see it takes a while so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.

@Ralph Robert it worked and I finally got access to my account again. Im so happy:D Thanks so much, you saved my ass :D

@Jayden Layton you are welcome xD

That's good for others to know, thank you for your comment.

+Scooty Man Hppy to help fellow bikers as theres not many vids about mods on this

+Scooty Man and Is u want a Vid on my bike then ill send u one and U can do vioce over or somethink

+Ts x GamingHD that's very kind but I have moved on from the Cb125f. I'm currently playing with other bikes but I might get another one of these soon. There's a few things I'd like to try like a product called Cerakote for the exhaust to stop the rust amongst others. Ride safe

+Scooty Man ok ride safe too brother

Danny Wilce sorry Danny, I must have missed your comment on the LED bulb. I ordered mine from Aurora bulbs in the UK. I think he runs it as a bedroom business and communication is a bit slack but he's a decent chap and my order arrived fine. Best regards

Stacey Holmes .....um .... thanks

Rear below the licence plate and legally on the front as well.

As I remember there was an overlap on the lid. I never had a problem with water ingress all the time I had them but I couldn't 100% say for sure if they were certified as waterproof. Hope that helps

Davide Cannavacciuolo Hi David. I would say no, I don't think you could get a helmet in the side cases. The Givi E340 box fitted here will definitely take a full face helmet. I personally wouldn't go much bigger on the top case though as any larger with much weight tips the bike back on the centre stand making loading difficult. Hope that helps and best regards

Scooty Man Thank you very much, very helpful, best regards

Hi what type of rack did you use to mount the tob box?v

What would you go buy for a full led upgrade?

Danny Wilce Hi Danny. I had no problems at all with the slightly narrower tyre. It was so minimal and when you consider the contact patch would be virtually the same on either tyre, I don't think it made a difference. For your reference though, I have been looking closely at another CB125F (I sold mine) and after a bit of research I found out there is a new tyre by Continental being launched in the spring of 2017 in the size 80/100-18 and one for the rear also. I believe it will be called a ContiCity. It's a lovely retro triangular pattern tread and I think it suits the bike down to the ground. If you prefer Michelins though, I give the 2.75-18 a thumbs up in my book but as always I would have to say do it at your own risk (legal disclaimer haha) Best regards

I've had a few dicey moments but managed to control it ok. But its the only bike i've ever ridden so not sure how much difference a fat tire would make. The very first junction i do on my way to work has a friggin manhole cover right in the middle of the road. Accelerating and turning when you've literally just woke up and rubbing eyes... the wheel just wants to go under. So yeah avoid any quick turns if its even remotely damp, cause you might die of embarrassment dumping your bike on its side in the middle of traffic lol

Hi Gareth, I bought them from Motorcycle planet in London. I believe the givi code was pl1142. Hope that helps

+Scooty Man I had looked at these earlier as the only ones I saw in the UK. Only I thought they were just the storage boxes. But I've just realised they are the mounting brackets for the panniers and the top box xD. Thanks m8! Realy! I go down from Dublin to Limerick once a year for IYWE (Irish Youth Wind Ensemble) which means I have to carry an double Oboe and Cor Anglais case on my back, my concert dress, and my change of cloths for a week... (usually dad brings me down in the car, but this means I can buy me a Cb125f and travel by myself ^^) honestly! thanks! PS. Did your panniers come with a set of matching keys? (eg 1+ 1-2 identical spares) or did you get separate Keys with different locks for the panniers?

+Garreth Kelly Hi Gareth. You get a pair of keys that open both boxes. In my honest opinion, these givi boxes are good but (and it's a big BUT), I found over time they slowed the bike down due to the drag they create. The steel carriers for them are heavy. Add on top of this the panniers themselves and your belongings and you have a very heavy rear end on the bike. It wasn't good to load on either side or main stand. When I made this video I loved them. Over time the novelty wore off and I went back to my Givi EA101 soft panniers. Watch my other videos and you will see my setup on the Innova125 that I took to Scotland. Now that was A great setup! Only my opinion but if you are riding distance on a 125 you want to make it as easy as possible. My CB 125F was sold and I bought a Suzuki VanVan. I'm always changing my bikes and I'll probably buy another CB as I've got some other mod ideas in the pipeline for this bike. Lots I liked about it. Ride safe

That’s a really good question. The CB125F has been long gone and I’m currently bumping about on a Vision 110 and an ST1100 Pan European. I don’t think that’ll be for too long though and one of the bikes I’m considering is the new CB125F. It does all the things the old one would do and possible more. We will have to see what the summer brings I guess. I keep threatening to buy a Royal Enfield but I’m still unsure that’s a wise decision.

Those givi side boxes' locks are so weak you can literally force them with your fingers. You'd be better off with just a humongous 52 litre box.

did a 389km trip with no worries, and still had 3l left in the tank and the end of it.

watch out for your oil levels tho

Hi, buy yourself an Airhawk seat pad and you could ride non stop to the moon and back. My number one upgrade for touring or long distance that I recommend highly. Hope that helps

I would say yes. However, if it were carrying passengers regularly, I would be tempted to lower the gearing slightly with a larger rear sprocket maybe. Hope that helps

Hi Philip, I'm really sorry but I must have overlooked your comment. My apologies. I took the Innova to Scotland in the end. If you look through my other videos there's the Innova in them with my set up and a few updates along the way. Anything else you'd like to know feel free to ask. Planning Scotland 2018 already! Ride safe

No worries. I figured you must have survived the trip given your subsequent videos :) I ended up buying a Yamaha MT-125 with ABS, and it's a cracking bike.

You could try maybe using an Airhawk seat pad. I have one that I used on a PCX for a while and it helped on longer journeys. Hope that helps Simon

@@scootyman2974 I'm gonna have a look to this. thank you, you got a new subscriber

techten 101 Hi techten. I no longer have this bike but from memory I think it was clear.

Hi Ralph. Google a company called Horizon LED's and look for a Philips Lumiled luxeon ZeESin H4 fitment. Not cheap but very very bright. Hope that helps.

billy leaver google givi top box

Hi Jamie, I bought this screen from eBay. It was second hand as I remember but I think they are still available today. Hope that helps Simon

I like them both but the semi-auto set up is something I feel I have a real affinity with. Nice to ride with for the city and a bit more engaging than a full automatic. Thanks for your comments

Thanks, I'll have a watch of your mods soon

I was happy with the panniers. However, one thing that I discovered after a little use is they are not so aerodynamic and because of the combined weight of the frame, top box and panniers themselves, the bike would tip backwards lifting the front wheel off the floor once loaded. This isn't really a problem but it will change the dynamic of your CBR in my opinion from a sleek sports bike to something more cumbersome to handle. It makes life harder when manoeuvring on and off the stand (side or main stand if you have) so I would recommend the Givi EA101 fabric panniers because they fit closer to the bike and expand if you buy anything whilst touring. I did like the plastic panniers alot and love the security they bring but they are heavy in comparison as I said before. Hope that helps

Thaks a lot - These will be my first panniers ever! I think they will handle a motorway speed- aprox 80-90 mph . all I want is this : bike must be not to wide , and they must be waterproof and solid - couse in june this year I want to circle around the Polish borders - 10 days and 4200 km trip. :)

I tried Givi EA101, as you recommended, and found that it doesn't much CB125F :( Or can you explain how to fit it? A picture should be enough. Thanks!

I’m not sure why. Would there be much demand for a 125cc motorbike in the states? It was a good bike and the latest model is even better by all accounts of recent reports. Thanks for your comments

@@scootyman2974 ... We'll ?? There's me ..😃 I'd buy a 125 with that kind of fuel mileage ASAP. And it would fit American riders better than the super cub. So ? Yes.. I think it would sell very well.
