• You sound like every forum post out there (mostly of the guys who haven’t fitted them!)

    It’s more rabbit-hole for the sake of research. Plan to pass the test, but wondering longterm whether if I keep the 125 I can squeeze a little more out of it.

    Of course, if I had the space and money I’d buy a 600-750 touring machine and be done with it.

  • I don’t know much the kits are but my CBR600 was £1500... The carb versions are often available for less or you could possibly find a VFR for similar money which is more ‘touring’ and less ‘sport/touring’.

  • Looks like the Chinese kits, likely made of cheese, are barely £100. The EO kits made in the US cost as much as another bike, at nearly a grand. But then you are buying an almost entire new engine. Definitely not worth the money to me, but worth an evening of research.

    Is your CBR comfortable for long days?
