Last night my brother's bike disappeared from the driveway in Bradley Stoke. It's a red/black Honda CBR125 registered in Romania - white plate in the back, VN 06 BXI
Standard bike except for the mirrors, right mirror missing.

Called the police this morning, they said they're going to call me back.. never heard of them yet. Are they always so fast? :(

Yesterday we searched all surrounding neighborhoods street by street. It took us a few hours but we couldn't find anything. But this morning I got a call from the police, they found yesterday evening, it a few streets away, abandoned. Don't know in what condition, will find probably today. I had just a liter or two of gas in the tank, that was helpful :D

Good news!
We retrieved it from the police impound, it's in a good shape!

All the locks needs to be replaced, and some stickers were burnt. M**f**ckers tried to burn it!! (but they had not enough gas.... :D )

PJ (from gixxerjunkies) was passing by when we arrived home and we had a nice chat. He was reading this thread and kept looking for the bike in the neighborhood. Thanks a lot man!

Toerags should be strung up by their b*ll*cks :evil:

Found an ignition barrel HERE. The lock set doesn't seem to be the most common item in the world which is odd, since the CBR is a very nickable bike...

These guys seem to be advertising the same lock set, but it's showing as out of stock...maybe worth calling them?

If not try David Silver spares, they have always been helpful when I was sourcing hard to find parts for the VFR...Good luck
