Worth ?300?

[Louise]

She has spotted a 125 bike, It didnt sell on Ebay but he will take £300 for it.

I know it looks dirty but a good clean will see it in order.

Is that the batt box as he said, looks more like an airbox needed?

Also, Ive never seen these bikes so Im unsure if she will fit 6'1

What you think ? We might be able to go veiw today, which I will look at the useal parts. But for £300???

[MarJay]

I think Nighteyes had one. They are really good for short people, but I'm guessing with a slightly feet forward riding position it won't be great for a tall person...

Remember kids, bikes aren't like lego. You can't easily take a part from one bike and then fit it to another.

[Kal]

Thats a very short bike for tall person. Aren't the motors for those produced by Suzuki?

£300 if she fits is not too bad at all, even factoring in the replacement side panels (dosn't look like it has either side) and a new speedo its a bargain for someone.

For £300, a 125 with 6k on the clock, and 7 months MOT is a bargain.

You don't even need to fit a battery cover I reckon. Speedo you could fit a bicycle speedo.

Looks too good to be true to me! Oh and I doubt the mileage is genuine with the speedo not working!

[Ted]

Before I go any further... I own one....

...I'm 6ft2 (just over), and find it no problem to ride, really comfortable! its missing the side panels on both sides, where he as put the bin liner is where the panel goes over the battery. The panels will cost about £40 each new, only the left side ones seem to appear on eBay (I've still not found a battery side one for mone yet!).
The speedo, or maybe just the odometer will have broken, they always do! I've bodged on a jap aftermarket one, but has a pushbike one on there first.

Mine is a bit tatty, and I bought it with no MoT or tax, with the exhaust studs sheared off and stuck in the engine! I got mine for £250, and that was a good deal!

So what I'm trying to say is... GO FOR IT!

[Ted]

Did ya get it in the end?

[MaybeGuy]

any chance you want to swap it for a yamaha RXS100?

7 mini wheels with tyres (3 alloys), 4 fiat wheels with tyres, and and old bathtub (green/brown), for the gsxr400 AND the RXS?

And yes, all these things are in my garden!

[MaybeGuy]

Is it me or do the forks look totally bent.

[Ted]

Hmmmm.... some form of bath tub race buggy.... I like the sound of that.... ....get the spanners and angle grinder out then!

Erm, yeah the forks do seem a little 'tight' to the front of the bike.... could just be the photo tho....

[Kal]

hmmm twin axle at the rear of the tub with bike forks on the front for steering

Awesome

It'd be a 'Pent'
