Wanted - 125cc

#1 Post by Carlos Von Brum » Thu Jun 30, 2011 11:14 am

Guy at works finaly having a mid life crisis and wants to get on two wheels.

I personaly have already had two midlife crises by the age of thirty. By the time I'm 45 I intend to be really GOOD at it them.

Anyway. If you know of any 125cc motorcycles going for around £500 - £800 then let me know. Thought I'd ask the community before messing around with fleabay.

Hmmm - can be a frightening thing in doing the maths .........

Glad to say that I don't believe I've had one yet - so should be well set for my Telegram from whichever of them is the monarch at the time ..... though I'll be even more happy not to receive one should we have got shot of the monarchy by then

Someone on the Coventry bikers Forum is selling one - but a bit more expensive than you mention (TBH I've even seen Falcos going for this price)

He's recently reduced the price to £1400 and the link to his pics is here: http://s667.photobucket.com/albums/vv31/Dave78/CBF125/

That CBF seems expensive. Mate at work bought his son one last year for £1400. Six months old, 4k miles and mint. I rode it back for him and it was a pleasant little thing. Except the tyres, which are shite, and a strange size.

On the up side the bits are cheaper than you'd expect, even the plastics... 400 miles to a tank doesn't hurt either.

The lad has a binnedit now and his parents have claimed the Honda.
