Absolutely. that little bike in stock form handled it pretty good. one would have to know that 4wd track to know how steep it really is. like going down it would be quite easy to throw you over the handlebars as its that steep. especially near the end where the gopro went flat. that was a horror stretch there..lol all the best!
About 5 years ago i toured Spain ( from Northern Ireland ) on one of those CB125f. It was great crack over the 3000 odd miles that i clocked up. You see so much more of the country. Yes if you want to you can tour on anything. Would do the same again , no problem. Get well soon. Mo.
thanks. it's a good budget priced bike which is pretty enjoyable to ride. too right...no real hurry on one of these and one gets to see far more of the countryside rather than a quick flash. all the best!
I'm glad to see a new video from you, Warro. Opening up the archive until you recover is a great idea; I bet you've got tons of cool footage that you never posted. Get well soon!
hope so too. either way i wont be on a bike again or riding one till i think i can do it drama free. but to cover that i have quite a few clips i could put together of other rides. most still latest model bikes
Apologies, Warrior! Did not realize you had a setback. Wellwishes and a speedy back in the saddle. You have balls of steel riding along side those dropoffs.😅
thanks and appreciated. hope to get out as soon as i can but not really gonna push it. weather been bad here anyway and some say it could snow. maybe on the mountainside but time will tell there. all the best!
G'day Warro, good that your out making new videos and l hope you enjoy yourself, we have had Frost's for the last week and each one is colder that the on before -1,-2,-3, has been the coldest with blue cloudless sky's and no rain which we need, keep safe and upright mate, cheers Neil 🤠.
looks like your temps are similar to ours. worst part here is daily temps not that high above zero and cold winds from the local mountain area. all the best!
yeah that was taken not long after i went up on it on the halcyon grey 350 with stock tyres. that was a bit of a wild ride.when i did it on the gb350 they had sort of graded it so it was well behind this run
yeah i thought id pull out a bit of stock material and put up a clip. last few years ive been riding with cameras on all the time on all bikes and probably only showed half of the rides all the best!
yeah that clip was shot not long after i took that halcyon grey along it. it was right near the end where i almost lost that bike. think if it had gone over the edge i dont think one would get it out or the rider...lol must admit i was sort of packing it that day knowing i had to ride the bike back up there...lol
I was wondering where you got to.. hope all is well.. I’m loving my 125f.. it’s performing better every time I ride it. I still can’t believe how light it is to manoeuvre.
Good to hear. hard to beat it in sheer value and they run extremelywell. sure im now on the gb350 but in reality is it a $4500 better bike. i wouldn't be surprised at all if i by another cb125f. well not just yet but on the cards
I hope you’re on your feet again real soon. BTW the videos you put out on this bike was the inspiration to me finally picking my own 125f up just 2 days ago. Would have made the purchase sooner, but life got in the way. It’s only got 7kms on the clock as yet; went to Sydney only hours after picking it up. Looking forward to many adventures on similar roads (dirt) that you ride. Thanks for the inspiration and may you get back to what you love real soon.👍
thanks. you and i are sort of in the same boat -that is bike wise. 2 weeks ago i bought a new 2024 nmax 155 -dealer delivered it and because of this respiratory virus i picked up-thanks to the wife...lol it still sits there never ridden. i think you'll be happy with the 125f - it will do anything you want within reason. this clip alone is on outright 4wd track and it handled it totally stock. sure i have a few rides but when it comes to the crunch one doesnt have to spend big to enjoy the ride
@@ridewithwarro it’ll be good to follow your journey on the Nmax. One of the other rides that was pulling at my heart strings, is the PCX. Sadly for no explainable reason they are now only selling it with a 125 engine, instead of the 160. Given that Yamaha is still selling the 150, I can’t follow the logic. I see you had the PCX, but noted that it was a good wind catcher (side wind). It’ll be interesting to hear you likes about the Nmax; will be interested in how the suspension stacks up against the PCX. For me, it was mostly about the beautiful lines that graces the PCX that puts it in front of the Nmax. As far as respiratory ailments goes, I hear you. Been suffering from what I think is long COVID for the last 2 years. It’s been holding me back a lot from my cycling and running. Finally been able to shift it somewhat through using probiotics. Starting to be able to run over the last few weeks without fatiguing and getting out of breath easily. (Still get breathless if I’m not careful.)Have started training to celebrate my 60th in August by attempting my first marathon. Just hope the hips and cope.😉 Enjoy you adventures on the Nmax.
@@michaelevans7260 my issues are each time i go outside which i do to feed the birds so have no choice about a minute or so and the coughing and chest tightness starts and carries on for quite a while so i would have to be pretty stupid to get on and ride a bike unless i only want to go on one last ride...lol so choice isnt good so i will wait it out. yeah i had the new pcx160 and it was pretty nice and compact to look at too. but struggled in the wind just like me...lol ive watched youtube clips and the nmax is quicker to 100 kph than the pcx id really like to try the nmax on dirt. well thats the plan later on. i sold the vespa as i really couldnt do much with it. great scooter but too much looking after. had to worry about scratches/no dirt roads/if a problem comes along/long way from dealer 500 klm so i thought stuff it-sell it and order another rolex buy a nmax and while at it order another camera...lol so there goes $20k...lol speaking of running a few year back when one could climb uluru i walked up to that area called chicken rock and thought no need to go much further as id climb it in 1980 and actually ran down the rock from top to bottom but i was only 28...lol so i just turned back and did a run to the bottom. got that on gopro lucky no-one can climb it now as the only way i could beat that is try an over the edge run...lol
Great clip. Reckon those Motoz tyres of yours might have helped if they come in a size to fit the 125. Always wondered why the 125 wasn't a keeper for you for the rough country. So another one is on the cards, eh? Your Suzuki would be up around 200kgs now you fitted all the bling - hate to drop it, even with the winch bizzo handy. I see below you sold the Vespa - sigh! Next time, try a 150 aircooled Vespa for less maintenance, lighter and still plenty zippy and good looks. Maybe the Nmax will do - it's a bit cheaper.
only issue i had with the 125 is the area i wanted to run it was a fair distance to get there. the gb350 handles that side good but again i wouldnt rule out another 125 my suzuki it totally fitted out now and looks a lot more adventure style bike. i have not ridden it since the add ons and i think it still has only 130 klm on the clock but i hope to change that soon heres how i scored the nmax. 2 weeks or so back the vespa was cashed. great bike no issues and best scooter ive owned. i was ready to transfer the money over on a new zero electric bike. i watched a few clips amd was impressed with it 0 to 100 kph in under 5 second and 80 ft/lbs of torque. the more clips i watched the better it sounded until i watch a few where the riders had actually lost control and been dumped on their a$$. too much power and no traction control to handle it. naturally winter here and frosty conditions and in the end i thought ...if i buy this bike it could be my last ride...lol so i pulled out. ordered the watch/camera and then rang the yamaha dealer. he had this nmax in stock so i took it overall i think for safety side alone i did the right thing but if it had been october/nov and good weather...id bought the zero as it was on special for $13200 ride away or roughly. the price of a poor mans watch...lol swinging back to the nmax i'd say if i dropped it on the tracks i could easily laugh that off as its only $6000 -that happened to the honda forza and it was $10k BUT a $13500 vespa hitting the ground and being all metal body apart from the plastic front guard -i'd say its gonna be expensive...lol plus its just too good a ride to trash. i mean i got some stick in the comments when i put those old mudguards and tank on my new red/chrome 350...lol they just dont like it. so it appears i always have problems or issues when it comes to rides...lol durng my 3 week break ive even had some smart a$$es leave comments like.... ive heard you had to sell your bikes. unfortunately its not the case i still have all 5 rides but none would generate any real value as they are not expensive rides, but on the tube there are those who look and those who wish...lol all the best!
do you recommend this bike for this type of terrain? I am considering to buy my first bike , and I can go only for up to 125cc now. looks like it is the most budget friendly and all purpose bike.
Much appreciated! well i dont look sick but the breathing tells a different story. either way im in no hurry to get on a bike and push my luck. no prizes for a one way ride as i'd like to return...lol and i can honestly say if i got on and rode this channel stops...lol and probably me too. so i plan to do what the dr said-wait it out and dont do anything silly so i might try that. more silent clips as the coughing would be a deterant i'd say. all the best!
i think if i stay clear of riding things will improve. i have some other material on bikes i have not posted as i ride with cameras and do roadside talks all the time. so i have the material to air while i wait it out. still got a fair bit on classic 350's too so no shortage. all the best!
i think overall that cb125f ran the track pretty well considering it was totally stock. much harder climb too than when i did it on the gb350 as the track had been partly graded. not an expensive ride either so good value for the $$$ outlay
Glad it wasn't a STD Warro😁😆😂🤣. Take it easy & rest up we'll still be here when you're ready. That 125 be a great bike on the front draw bar of a caravan or on the tow bar of a truck camper or a campervan.
@@ruahinesrider yeah i thought of you when i put that there as i know you like a bit of a laugh. ive got a nmax 155 scooter now. never ridden. dealer dropped it off as i said i was too crook to ride. so its been there 2 weeks now has duel channel abs and traction control too i hope to ride it on dirt too

Sometimes a small light bike is an advantage over terrain like that . Good fun too . Well done .
Absolutely. that little bike in stock form handled it pretty good. one would have to know that 4wd track to know how steep it really is.

Hey Warro, you take care & look after yourself 🇦🇺⭐️
Thank you, I will. no rides out for me until things improve. i'd prefer a return trip not a one way...lol
About 5 years ago i toured Spain ( from Northern Ireland ) on one of those CB125f. It was great crack over the 3000 odd miles that i clocked up. You see so much more of the country. Yes if you want to you can tour on anything. Would do the same again , no problem. Get well soon. Mo.

Thanks mate your videos allways make me smile, I like the simplicity of it.
Glad you enjoy it! all the best. plan to do a few more now
I'm glad to see a new video from you, Warro. Opening up the archive until you recover is a great idea; I bet you've got tons of cool footage that you never posted. Get well soon!
thanks and that's my plan! i do have various bike ride footage on various near new bikes. all the best!
Hope you feel better soon Warro, take good care of yourself.
hope so too. either way i wont be on a bike again or riding one till i think i can do it drama free. but to cover that i have quite a few clips i could put together of other rides. most still latest model bikes
Apologies, Warrior! Did not realize you had a setback. Wellwishes and a speedy back in the saddle.
You have balls of steel riding along side those dropoffs.😅
thanks...hope to get on the bike again shortly.well after i get rid of this issue. all the best!
Hello Warro, was wondering where you were, a speedy recovery for you and get your breath back, thank you for the video
thanks and appreciated. hope to get out as soon as i can but not really gonna push it. weather been bad here anyway and some say it could snow.
maybe on the mountainside but time will tell there.
all the best!
Great ride, the CB looks very comfortable.
Cheers from Greece.
yeah that was a wild ride in that country. bike ran it well
all the best!
Thanks for the upload Warro. Hope you’re doing better.
All good, better than i was. all the best!

I'm sure you'll be an enduro rider in the next life mate, great video 🏍🇬🇧👍🙂🌞
anything is possible...lol all the best!
Haven't seen you in a while. Glad you're ok
yeah i thought id pull out a bit of stock material and put up a clip. last few years ive been riding with cameras on all the time on all bikes and probably only showed half of the rides
all the best!
No room for mistakes on that road Warro, nice country tho. Hope u r over the lurgie.
yeah that clip was shot not long after i took that halcyon grey along it. it was right near the end where i almost lost that bike. think if it had gone over the edge i dont think one would get it out or the rider...lol
must admit i was sort of packing it that day knowing i had to ride the bike back up there...lol
Glad you back in the saddle mate.😊👍🏍

Hi Warro Hope you get better real quick, mate had RSV and got thru it good .Thanks for the vid. I.m an old dog on a long highway cheers from NZ .

my suzuki it totally fitted out now and looks a lot more adventure style bike. i have not ridden it since the add ons and i think it still has only 130 klm on the clock but i hope to change that soon
heres how i scored the nmax.
2 weeks or so back the vespa was cashed. great bike no issues and best scooter ive owned.
i was ready to transfer the money over on a new zero electric bike. i watched a few clips amd was impressed with it 0 to 100 kph in under 5 second and 80 ft/lbs of torque. the more clips i watched the better it sounded until i watch a few where the riders had actually lost control and been dumped on their a$$.
too much power and no traction control to handle it. naturally winter here and frosty conditions and in the end i thought ...if i buy this bike it could be my last ride...lol
so i pulled out. ordered the watch/camera and then rang the yamaha dealer. he had this nmax in stock so i took it
overall i think for safety side alone i did the right thing but if it had been october/nov and good weather...id bought the zero as it was on special for $13200 ride away or roughly.
the price of a poor mans watch...lol
swinging back to the nmax i'd say if i dropped it on the tracks i could easily laugh that off as its only $6000 -that happened to the honda forza and it was $10k BUT a $13500 vespa hitting the ground and being all metal body apart from the plastic front guard -i'd say its gonna be expensive...lol plus its just too good a ride to trash.
i mean i got some stick in the comments when i put those old mudguards and tank on my new red/chrome 350...lol they just dont like it. so it appears i always have problems or issues when it comes to rides...lol
durng my 3 week break ive even had some smart a$$es leave comments like.... ive heard you had to sell your bikes.
unfortunately its not the case i still have all 5 rides but none would generate any real value as they are not expensive rides,
but on the tube there are those who look and those who wish...lol
all the best!
Man! What are you doing there on a roadbike? Having an adventure. Just goes to show.
yeah that certainly is pretty wild country there. plus the slow and steady approach worked well and the little cb125f handled t pretty easy.
do you recommend this bike for this type of terrain? I am considering to buy my first bike , and I can go only for up to 125cc now. looks like it is the most budget friendly and all purpose bike.
it will do it providing you ride it with care and like a road bike. its no dirt bike but if you ride with care it can do it easy
Gutted to hear you have been unwell, have really missed your videos lately. Get well soon please.
Much appreciated! well i dont look sick but the breathing tells a different story. either way im in no hurry to get on a bike and push my luck.
no prizes for a one way ride as i'd like to return...lol and i can honestly say if i got on and rode this channel stops...lol and probably me too.
so i plan to do what the dr said-wait it out and dont do anything silly so i might try that.
more silent clips as the coughing would be a deterant i'd say.
all the best!
Looks like everyone had the same curiosity. Wonder where Warro's gotten to? Glad to hear you're ok and hopefully on the mend.
i think if i stay clear of riding things will improve. i have some other material on bikes i have not posted as i ride with cameras and do roadside talks all the time.
