ms51ves3: why does it need 500 miles? Are you teaching it how to be a piston?

[J-Dan]

yep got it to 1100 fully comp better than a car sort of

[Alexio]

Wow, that's expensive for a 125! Well, I've never had fully comp to be fair. How old are you at that price?

am i am just 17 and its a sort a new bike and just like one fall and its right off becuase fairings so expensive

Don't go comprehensive.... get TPFT.

It's cheaper to fix your bike yourself anyway, and you don't lose no-claims.

Mine came to £270 TPFT when i was 17...

[J-Dan]

yea but if i come off the road at it will be recked and a fairing for it is 250 becuase derbi not many spares

[dextersaurus]

Don't come off the road

It's seriously worth it in the long run... If you do come off the road and claim your insurance will double because of your age.

Just my advice, i say go tpft.

Try https://www.thebikeinsurer.com

Thats what i used, and you get free legal cover if you insure through using their site.

Free legal cover is useful if someone decides to not see you and write off your bike

I got an RXS100. Pick in my profile.

What's the longest journey you've ever done? Wales and it was HELL. Got really cold (my fault) and ran out of petrol

It was like torture.

What do you like about your 125? It's great fun on the whole, just been out in the snow, no probs, It's cheap. looks OK runs ace.

If you could change anything what would it be? I would like it to fit me better. But that's because I crave to go long distances. I would love to say I don't need anything more but in truth i'm looking to get something heaver that has a fairing and can cruse at 60 without feeling like your always at top revs, just to stay up with traffic on A roads.

Here's mine. 2005 model. Could do with 10 mph extra top speed, and less vibration. Apart from that...love every inch of it! I added a givi screen to it, some chrome trimming , it's tail tidy, racing spark plug, and using the shell v power that turns it into a beast )).

Very nice bike Alexio, could do with some ACF-50 and cleaning Consider adding a screen, it changes the bike completely, honestly!

Last week I put my £100 deposit down on an 07 xt125x with 700 miles on the clock. I haven't been able to test ride it yet, but if I dont like that one they have a dt125 too.

My insurance company said they wouldn't insure it TPFT or fully comp, then I got quoted £560 through Bennetts. I checked one of those comparison website and got quoted £260 fully comp through the AA. I wonder which one I will go for....?

Im dead excited

[davart]

What's the longest journey you've ever done?

South Yorkshire to Skegness - approximately 200 miles round trip. Was lovely and sunny going there and torrential rain on the way back. Was nice and warm once the water in my boots reached body temperature! Got a few nods and waves along the way, which was cool.

What do you like about your 125?

Simplicity. Old-school mechanics that can be sorted yourself. The economy is a plus too with ever increasing fuel prices. I like the retro-look of the bike - the 70s styling.

If you could change anything what would it be?

It has a full chain case which sometimes catches. Caused me to have to stop my module one test but the nice red-head lady examiner put it down to the weather If Carling did test centres...
