Drop in a 2014 190cc Daytona Anima with 4valve head and slight refinement and you have 30hp on tap,
That's an interesting little engine, not heard of it before.Found this very lovely Honda CD125 based cafe racer with the Daytona engine in it whilst searching for some info.

2700 is cheap. You can pay more for Taichinorea 125s. What is the insurance like? Now that it's cult-desirable and around for enough time to become noticeable, will the rates go up?
I pay 160 quid with no NCB.When I say expensive, I mean compared to buying a used car.
So the MSX125 (for her to learn on and me to dick about on) idea went out the window

Just to close this off....MissB's insurance quote was just shy of a £1000.

WT bloody F? A grand?So the MSX125 (for her to learn on and me to dick about on) idea went out the window
Hence I went back to looking at "Me" bikes like the CB1000R and S1000R braaaaaaaaaaaaaaawp

Yep she'd be on A1 license so first bike, new rider , no motorbike NCD bla bla bla

Even so, given that's almost 3 times what it would cost me to insure an MSX 125, is that after shopping around?Hence I went back to looking at "Me" bikes like the CB1000R and S1000R braaaaaaaaaaaaaaawp
I found some inspiring MSX custom photos, the styling and performance can be changed quite a bit.

The gulf-colored full fairing MSX seems to have turbo AND nitrous.....

I'm determined to get one (working at a dealership helps) but I will be doing the tyga mrx conversion. Luckily we deal with them too, so I should be able to do this a bit cheaper and use it for company display too. Already got someone lined up to paint it too
It needs the Blade Urban Tiger scheme.I quite fancy one of these as my first bike. Not quite sure just how silly a 6ft bloke would look on it though. I don't want to look like Homer Simpson on a tricycle.
