Paddock bike

I took a ride up to the paddock to soak up some of the atmosphere and look at the shines.
Spotted this while wondering around. A brief enquiry from a passing mechanic revealed it belongs to none other than James Hillier. Luckily he was next door and available so we had a quick chat.
It has an increased capacity but his plan is to return it to 125 and ditch the ABS on the front.
It turns out he very much loves his CT125 and best of all was happy to talk about it while in the "office".
This is the only picture I took at the Grandstand.

Why is he returning it to the stock CCs?

No idea, didn't come up in conversation beyond the fact that it wasn't standard.

Why disable the front ABS? To each his own....

nice. i saw a few at the last ahrma race, lots of groms and even an mb5, but the trail w the rack was a clear 'hauling stuff around' winner. saw a few old school 90s as well.

Assuming this is rhetorical.
