There goes the CyberSport
>> Monday, July 13, 2009
Today is one of the saddest day in my life as the motorcycle I love most in my family is sold, making way for a new bike.
Approximately 2 years ago, after much begging and asking, dad finally agree to buy me one of the best underbone motorcycle available on sale in the market. The bike I'm talking about here is the Suzuki FX125. Hailed from the CyberSport series, dubbed the King of Moped years before Yamaha came out with their 135LC, this bike will butcher any 4 stroke mopeds in a drag race (ya know the traffic light, hahaha). What made the bike so powerful was its engine which back then was and still is today, the most technology-equipped in an underbone. Using a double overhead cam complete with 4 valves, oil-cooled with a 26mm CV carburettor the bike boast approximately 14 hp and it has full racing clutch with 5 speed gearbox. Its handling is also commendable having short wheelbase and monoshock on the rear. Ahh... I can go on and on talking non-stop about this bike.

Hmm... after 2 years serving me, the bike's condition was getting from bad to worse. THE ENGINE which is the gem of the bike unfortunately is also its Achilles heel. This bike requires more maintenance compared to any other mopeds. At last, which is today, reluctantly, I had to sell away the bike. I am very sad. Sigh, I am going to miss the sound of its engine and that wonderful alloy sportrim from Enkei. Truly a legend bike, at least for me. Love for the FX always and forever. Hahahaha... (you probably thinking this guy is a maniac for loving his bike so dearly, LOL)
Anyway, there will be a new bike that will join the family. Its the Suzuki Shogun 125 RR. This bike is very handsome by all means. Front and rear alloy wheels, front and rear disc brakes, SOHC (not DOHC) 125 cubic centimetre engine just to mention a few main attractions of the bike. Well, like I've said, its a RR model so this one has a centrifugal clutch which is easier to ride and maintain unlike its SP sibling which has a manual clutch. Hmm... a review about the bike shall pop up soon enough in this blog as I might be getting the bike tomorrow. So meanwhile, take a look at the pictures of the bike.
