Hahaha, you guys are jokers...

You are not even answering his question, just messing around about what he said...

Id dependith if thou hadst mucho dosho. (second hand) Peds be cheepe but cakke, but maketh for goode in town fun.

125 race reps be goode, but one payeth many pieces o' eight for them. ye old insuraance coste loads on 125s aswell.

ye mai choose an olde 125 4 stroker for practice. but ye be crappe also. insurance ye cheepe. goode for practicing

i did nay buy a learner bike coz i couldn't be assed to spend my gold coins. i saved mai coins, for the learneed lessons. then my boye, i bought a 400cc.

i perthink the rs125 be the beste 125. it goeth like a speeding arrow, and be nimble like our good kings wee dags.

Choose wisely young minion, your hard earned golden coins are on the line...

For you.

AR125.

Why? Because it's the only (working) 2 stoke 125 I've tried.

Mine also sounded like a chainsaw, did 80+ MPH and was generally great fun to ride, though it didn't work that often.

well i was gonna get an rs125, but in the end decided it would be pushing my budget and the insurance would sting me too (i only work part time)

So i got a CG125 2001 model, very reliable, does exactly what its meant to, nothing more, nothing less...

I like it, but id prefer a 2 stroke 125, if I could have any 125 it'd probably be an NSR, because id expect it to be more reliable than an italian machine..

The NSR is actually pretty reliable providing you keep it properly maintained; so about the same as a 4 stroke.

Go for an older model and you could buy two and have one as a spare . Insurance will also be cheaper and they will accelerate ok as well as be able to sensibly cruise at motorway/dual carrigeway speeds with some power left in reserve.

At first i was looking at the NSR125 and was ready to part with my cash, untill i realized a good condition one would cost approximately £2,000 - £3,000... then when i saw the CBR125 it made me think. I was also considering the Varadero but that wasnt very comfy... and was more expensive then the CBR.

[G]

You can get good condition older NSRs for around £1000.

Any NSR will be a lot better 'bike' generally, in my opinion, than any 4 stroke 125.

Personally I see buying new as a bad thing. You loose a lot of money the minute you walk out the show room. Also it costs even more to fix when you drop it and parts are more expensive.

best 125 I have found is a MZ supermotard

[skyline]

there is not best 125 again lol. depends which one you prefer. what i've heard (not sure if its completely true or not) is

1)rs125 are fast but if you break something spares can take forever to come

2)cagiva mitos don't have as much top end but go round corners like a train on tracks (i've seen it and it does do corners superbly)

3)nsr is a great bike, as quick as the rs and spares are easyer to get

4)cbr is 4 stroke so not as fast, also very thin and light which helps make up for speed, but it does have a very reliable engine and sounds nicer

just make sure the one you buy hasn't been ragged to much


but heres something to consider. i'm still on a 50 now, but i'm not getting a 125, instead i'm getting a 400, heres why

125
bike: £1200
insurance: £1200 (nsr125 tpft)
cbt: £70-£90

total: £2490

400
bike: £1000
insurance: £800 (cbr400 tpft)
test: £320
restriction: £200

total: £2320

(thats working off me having 3 points on my licence on insureance quotes)

so you save money, plus can take pillions, plus can go on motorway, plus can go faster and have a better sounding more reliable bike. and that was working on a cheap 125 bike as well. i've got my test booked for this month. but i'm certainly not going to bother with a 125.

[Marc_Buck]

skyline, you know its the best way, i will be doing my test in november and depending how the thing my nan used to put money in for me goes and my saving goes i will be looking for a bandit6 or may even take a loan and get a zx6-r, if i am low on cash though a vfr400 may look more friendly.

I don't really see the point in the RS and mito, alot of money for a bike that isn't really that great? they look ok, you might think they are cool, but the majority of people think your a bit of a twat when they hear it!
Also none of them are amazingly fast, and how many people keep their 400's at 33bhp I would choose a tatty 400 over a tinny little 125 anyday I think john got his 400 for well under a grand, and it has been solid so far.

I went the route of the old battered NSR, it will take longer but no way could I afford a shiney bike anyway, oh and about the reliability, none of the 125 strokers are that reliable. However I think the important thing is parts availability, and the NSR wins hands down compared to the italian machines.

[LorryDriver71]

Erm, no, it just back's up the point that people thinking that just because nsr's are Honda's that there the most reliable 125. Which is complete bollocks.

As for parts availability Twice I have needed new bits, called Mito Mondo up and they've at my doorstep first thing the next morning. And we all know that honda dealer's would get your parts in that fast don't we? Yea, like they would. So that settle's that one, it's easier to get hold of parts for the Mito, no competition.

And people hear Mito's and Rs125's and think the people riding them are twat's do they? Is that why they sound exactly like Rs250's? Which we all know would eat your 400's.

The NSR is in a lower state of tune than the RS and Mito, this makes the NSR more reliable than the others. However, if they are all looked after correctly there is no reason why the RS and Mito can't be pretty good. The NSR is better at taking abuse than the other 2.

As for spares, well the Italian factories are notorious for poor parts availability, and there are plenty of people on here who can testify to waiting months for spares.

[edit]And what is it about students that you hate so much?[/edit]

Yeah I agree with what you said about tune/reliabity.

As for students! Rggghhhh!!!!

They all think there really great because they go to uni (to study sociology or something equally delinquant) even though 90% of everyone goes these days, just because it's the trend.

But to the students it still makes them superiour to everyone else. So they think they have the right to go to uni funded by everyone else (tax payers). They seem to think that the world owe's them.
