its late 2006, 56 plate, so only 6 months old and 501 miles after todays ride
haha try a 250SX, my 125 SX is worse imo, my old SX125 is the worse thing I ever rode for arm wrenching! It was Justin Gibbs old bike and he ported it all and all sorts, it was AMAZING!
But compared to road bike of the same CC off road bikes do go like sh*t off a shovel.
Good choice mines an 06 too
are the SX's 4 speed? hows that?
that 125 must be so peaky bet it has a massive punch in the top end

Mines 6 speed. Very peaky and it rips so hard for a short time, hard to ride well, but if you can (I cant) they go like foooooook and sound awesome

might so some rally's or laid back events hopefuly!

I do race, but I aint like everyone else I am shy and quiet and didnt really expect to be competitive, but turns out when the flag drops I do really want to do well, and look forward to racing all week!

But its the only way I can really ride, since my bike isnt road registered or anything.
There is always a good bunch at racing, either enduro or MX.

Yeah, here it is, look different soon as I need new numbers!

Some riding ones I just found for a laugh!

I was trying to jump this as a double, (not in the pic) it just ended up hurting from not quite making it!

very nice bike mate, and great action shots!

what are those, neoprene fork gators like?

Tom · Post by **Tom** » Mar 11th, '07, 19:52

Yeah its to stop the stones etc splitting the fork seals and getting chips on the fork stantions, Very good they are too.
Called Sealsavers!
