I personally think it's a bit expensive for what it is.

Careful, littleredtt might tell you off again, but you would get a better response in the Biker Banter forum.

This'll probably get moved for you.

As for the bike, go and see it first, there will always be others out there if you miss this one.

Check the mileage. It says 5 and a bit but then it says 7 and a bit. I reckon it's about £400 too much. Low mileage but still 6 years old.

Thanks all, like the link with the other bike!

I keep going wrong with what section to put things in the forum (what chat room?)

Is this bike a good one to have ? only be doing about 20 miles a day.

Mileage 7048 / miles Owners - 3

Does anyone know why i see many bikes with such low mileage but 3 owners? is that something to be worried about?

Thanks.

You will find that especially with 125's
People take up biking and buy one then either don't like it, or feel they want something more powerful. I did it with a new R125, I did 2600miles then sold it. Lucky for the 2nd owner, they get a real bargain.

expensive, just buy the best suzuki/honda/yamaha 125 you can find for £1000, youll sell it on very quickly 2nd hand at that price when you come to do so, and will minamise depreciation loss.

Beware bikes with clocks in km/h.

They look nice these days, some of the learner legal stuff.

I notice that front "L" plates still haven't been sorted out,m there was nowhere to put them back in the 70's, I'm surprised it is still the same now.
