Saw the post below , and I had to do it.

Got hit with the flu on Wednesday so I didn’t get to pick this up until yesterday night. It sat for about two years so the motor was not happy with me. But after filling it with some fresh premium, it woke up nicely.

I already have the yoshimura tail tidy kit so I can excise this ugly growth soon:

But the plan this weekend involves getting my girlfriend on a bike for the first time! She’s excited to learn and I think the Z will be very friendly to her for learning in z parking lot.

It’s about the same mount of motorcycle as the Cub, but without the heritage.

This being said, nice scooter.

Technically the Z125 is a "pocket rocket"

I hesitate to use the word “rocket” for any of the 125cc bikes. I will accept “power equipment”

Oh don’t get me wrong, I am 100% in favor of all 2 wheeled small displacement transportation. It’s all love here.

The first street-legal bike I rode was a 125. It wasn’t quite so... edgy.

(Not the actual bike, but same make/model).

Got 71 on the Grom full tuck down a really big hill. 10/10 would not recommend.

Yep. I hit 69 (nice) on my old grom in traffic on a byway, down a hill, and that was absolutely terrifying next to lifted pickups and SUVs. ANd then the moderate downhill became a gentle incline  and I had to turn off the road since traffic was doing 65+ despite it being a 45mph road.
