+s
easy to work on
parts common and reasonably cheap
good perfomance for a 125 (especially if you derestict it...not that I would of course
handles reasonably well...although a bit light

-s
2 stroke so it needs oil, blows smoke, howls like a banchee, and more regular top end work, rings etc
may have been thrashed
is 20 years old so will need misc TLC

And the white saddle is well gae;-)
cheers

For what reasons did you sell your XT?

As I say to most people, look around this forum, there are tonnes of 'what bike next threads', write down the list of bikes you have seen listed, go onto google images, look at all the bikes. Cross off your list the ones you don't like.

Then go out to a few bike shops and look at the ones you do like, and if possible go for a test ride, (if able) if not, at least sit on the bike and get a feel for it - distance from seat to footpeg, how long the reach to handle bar is, that sort of thing...

Then make an informed decision based on what suits YOU.
