I would assume like many of you, I was eyeballing a Grom for some time. Saturday I was running around and stopped into my local shop where i have purchased a '13 636 and a '15 Ninja 1000.
It is a big shop with just about every type of bike. I spent about an hour walking around before I noticed the Z125 sitting over by itself. It was a grey one and I loved the look of it!
I spent Sunday thinking about it and decided that I am going to go and get it tomorrow as soon as they open. Unfortunately the shops are closed today or I would have it in my garage now!
It just looks like a good time. I have a few folks around that I would like to teach to ride. Having something like this that isn't intimidating will be great. I probably won't mod it much at first except for exhaust because I like to be heard when in traffic. Later after there are some more choices and reviews, I will probably change quite a few things as I have on all my others.
I am an older rider, and have been riding for probably 10 years total. I had a big gap in the middle due to school, family and career. Now it is what I do to help manage stress. When life seems a little bit of a drag, a little "wind therapy" makes everything a little better.
I currently have a N1K. I sold my 636 just a bit ago. I had an FJR1300 which I sold in December. I had a Street Triple first, but sold that pretty quickly. They were all very good bikes, I just wanted something different. I will stick with the N1K and the Z125 just to have a couple of different rides to suit my mood.
I enjoy my N1K very much, but I like the idea of just being able to toss the Z125 around and play a bit. I bought my wife a Ninja 250 which she loves, and that is what showed me that there is a lot of fun to be had on something small and agile.
