Have a look at the online Full Throttle catalogue, Shark MX200 helmets on special for R999.95 which aint bad at all. They also have some O'Neal and Fly helmets for decent prices. Personally I'd look at those Shark helmets, I have a Shark helmets (but for road) and it's probably one of the comfiest helmets I've had!

My dream off-road helmet atm is the Airoh Stelt Coppins but as you can see they are a bit pricey at 5k :shock:

Yea Koko, those Airoh helmets are awesome, they weigh almost nothing and are very highly rated.

I still like my Suzuki best. It still has one of the sexiest shapes of any bike, and of course, since it isn't restricted by all these Euro 3 standards (being a 2004 model and all) it's a bit lighter and teeny bit more powerful than the current 750's :mrgreen:

Not too bad for a 125... Considering most 400's are rated 200, which is not to say they can actually reach those speeds...

The top end is not the most exciting part, it's how this little machine gets from 0-100. Obviously it's not superbike fast, but she'll beat most (at least) 2L cars robot to robot. After 100 the bike doesn't have that much power left to battle wind and all the extra effects. I find it quite amusing, I'll always get a golf or corsa driver looking for some action. When they see the 125 stickers they get quite excited.

Nope it's a single cylinder.

Haha no, when they hear me rev up when the other lights turn orange, and that two-stroke sound starts mumbling, they realise this might not be as easy as they thought.
