There's not many riders of smaller bikes on here, most are fat old 40 something's, you might get a better response on bikechatforums

I wouldn't pay much to be that uncomfortable on a bike that slow.

For a 13yr old bike, the style looks modern, plus 11000 miles sounds quite low for a bike of that age!?

Hopefully you are not paying over the odds for it? Plus being a sporty 125, you will have no problems selling it on, as there will always be a big demand for 125's, as first bikes, or someone looking for an efficient commuter.

Cant go wrong with Yamaha either, should offer very reliable biking, plus a well built bike.

Does it come with a lot of paperwork? Evidence of being well maintained?
Similar 125's usually sell for between 1000 and 1500, depending on age and condition. Certainly try and knock off money for the scrapes!

A tip on its value, go onto Autotrader, "BikeTrader", and find similar specced bikes (other Yamaha YZF's), to get a feel for how much that bike is worth.

I'd have thought a lot lower, more £1800-£2000 personally, certainly wouldn't be paying £3k but then again, I'm so out of touch we small bike prices
