This is a Cbr125 that I built a few years ago with the intention of getting into a single class racing series. Unfortunately it didn't eventuate in NSW. I sold it to a young guy in Qld who said he was going to race it. 

Moriwaki fairing and tail modified to fit. Fairing was pretty straight forward, but the tail was too wide. I had to cut a V out of the middle and join it back together. 

I did all the paintwork, even hand painted the Repsols as I couldn't get stickers to scale. All the others decals are stickers. Took a while to source the New 27.

Borrowed some paint from work, it was close enough to Repsol orange for me. Pics don't do it justice.

Thanks. It was a hoot to ride. Racing starts from the lights, full noise around town and still doing legal speeds, lol
I came over the crest of a hill after blasting away from the lights, head down, arse up and there was Mr Plod with his radar gun. I shat. Looked down at my speedo 85 in an 80 zone, phew. He didn't ping me.

That would be because you gave such a great response to the post , I thought how on earth can I compete with that . As imitation is the best form of flattery , I decided to take that path & copy yours  .   tongue   Razz

The english seem to be taking the credit here , but it may very well have been chinese first

Thanks MT. 
It's more the sense of achievement in creating something unique than anything else, that I enjoy.  Just a pitty that I don't have room to keep all of my toys.
I do enjoy making a bike my own, whether it be some tasty mods or a full build. keeps me off the streets. Can't seem to hang onto them, though.  Lol
