I was collecting something today from a shop in Dorset and I actually saw another one, very rare occurrence. It was a 19 and looked like it had a tough life … but it still looked good, even with all the age related dings. 
 

When they first appeared they had asymmetric wheels, bigger front than rear with a slightly higher seat height and I think they look better that way, even tho ( reportedly) the handling suffered due to limited tyre choice. 
 

Mine is a 22 “s” so not the highest spec with ohlins front and back but I really love it. It’s not super refined and smooth like a jap bike, the engine is a twin, 600cc per pot and vibratey at various revs, the bloody phone interface is kind of crap but it’s great fun. Goes like stink, loads of torque and sounds great. The only thing I’d change is adding a quick shifter. 
 

I’ll see if I can find a half decent photo…

I see you have a gay Honda in the background :classic_laugh:

Used to have, it’s gone now. 
 

it was a 125 I kept as my wife was making CBT noises, but never got round to it so flogged it.

It's fine mate .  There are those on this forum who consider Honda ownership to be gay, whereas the sensible peeps here realise that they are great reliable bikes

I’ve just acquired an MT09, and was seriously considering a CBR1000. Really nice bike but the dealership wouldn’t let me test drive the one I was interested in as I have a few points on my licence 😞

The 125 was a nice bike but I only used it once every few months to keep everything working. My wife was initially enthusiastic about doing her CBT but as with many things, never got around to it. I have aspirations of a third bike, possibly another Indian,  and lack of garage space dictated the 125 had to go… 🙂

If I wasn’t maxed out of bikes and space an Indian would be on my hit list.
