Roll a dice. If it's odd, then yes, you made the right decision. Evens, and no, you should have bought a CG125 Smile

It's not the model bike you buy that's important, more the condition. If you paid £50 and it only needs a few tweaks for an MOT, then you're laughing. If you paid two grand and it's a bodged shitter that's turning into a black hole of need, then no, it wasn't a good choice.

Definetly mate. They're reliable little bikes and simple to work. You'll never get bored of it either, they're good fun to ride. Also they're nice and light so they're easy to manouvre. Cheap to run aswell, on insurance, petrol etc. Thumbs Up

Doesn't matter which you got, the condition of that individual bike makes far more difference.

You have made a right choice picking the bike, but it depends on how much it's cost you for the privalege of not owning a cg.

well i got it for £100 and it needs a good clean new seat and a new twist grip but can be easily done as i got another bike from my dad that can be used for spares and parts as its not a runner at all lets say it needs a new engine wheels and other bits too much to do for a first timer..
The rxs 100 i have however is a runner just needs petrol in then will run so the guy said. i trust the guy as my father works with him and he used to own a bike shop so hopefully with a good good clean and a bit of TLC it would be in good first bike.

a tiny bit of rust here and there and the seat pan is totally recked so need a new one, the rear mud guard has a hole in just behind the number plate but gonna cut that bit off. thats bout all i can think of

£100 isn't bad mate I would happily pay more than that for an RXS.

I had one of them about 16 years ago. Bloody good little runner, used to take me and me daughter all over the place. Just make sure its got some decent tyres on it, not those last for ever (no grip) nylon things Thumbs Up

Old Thread Alert!

The last post was made 16 years, 58 days ago. Instead of replying here, would creating a new thread be more useful?
