Posted: 17:38 - 10 Sep 2015 Post subject: My new Repsol MSX 125 |
|
|
I said I'd never buy a bike brand new, especially a Honda. But the lack (and I mean lack) of depreciation lead me to buy this.
Paid half deposit in cash and the rest 0%
It looks gorgeous and will be a lot of fun. Not many of these around with this paint scheme and the MSX is in short supply anyway.
I intend to trick this one up after first service. 165CC and 180CC kits are plentiful. The former is probably more realistic. As well as lots of bolt on tat (I will be selective with this). Picking it up on Saturday, hoping to do Brighton run on it, come Sunday.
Flaming is expected, but I just don't care.

It is from Doble, BUT, when my CBF rusted to shit. They sorted it without quibbling, whereas other dealers have, to put it mildly, considered their options.
I have nothing but praise for them. ____________________ Currently: Yamaha DT 125 LC2,Repsol Fireblade, and Bumblebee MSX 125 |

No flame, they look hilarious. I was laughing like a drain just sitting on one. Loads sold, few for sale used, you might as well buy new.
Has to be in Repsol colours just for the lulz of it. ____________________ Biking is 1/20th as dangerous as horse riding.

I've seen a few dealers doing Repsol ones, that's one of the nicer schemes. Dobles even have one with a bit of red faux trellis frame bolted on too, just for extra WTF?
Not to get too Paddy, but you realise that if you leave it out and about then it needs to be anchored to a shark made entirely of pitbulls or it'll be gone faster than a refugee's gratitude? ____________________ Biking is 1/20th as dangerous as horse riding.

I have the trellis it wasn't fitted in the pic. In fact they were just fitting it.
Yeah, security is an issue. We have a garage at work. Which this will fit in. ____________________ Currently: Yamaha DT 125 LC2,Repsol Fireblade, and Bumblebee MSX 125 |

I plan on keeping this, first 'service' is 600 miles essentially for nothing more than an oil change. They want £130.
Would you? When I got the CBF125, I knew very little and just bent over.
I am planning the upgrade to 165 in a few months, as soon as I look at that I'm binning most of the warranty, if not all. ____________________ Currently: Yamaha DT 125 LC2,Repsol Fireblade, and Bumblebee MSX 125 |
