Was thinking about buying a Derbi Terra 125cc (standard) bike in the future. Does anyone know what it's like. Using it to commute 50 mile round trip on A/B roads.

Looks ok with the screen, added bonus when using open A roads.
Seat "looks" comfy, but whether it is or not is a different story Thumbs Up

I used a similar styled bike minus the screen to commute 30 mile round trip, was alright, i never felt uncomfortable, although the wind battered me, a screen may have helped.

Cant really help on what they are like but... I love the look of the Terra adventure! Its a bike I would have to check out before buying next bike. Both the Terras get 4 star ratings at a couple of sites I have seen them on.

Hiya Jungleboogy,

Me and the other arf got a pair of Derbi's last August as we got a really good deal and 0% finance.

He got a terra adventure and I got a cross city.

They weren't impulse buys we looked into them well before we got them, he works with a Spaniard and he had nothing but good things to say about them as they ride them & Rieju's loads in Spain and you know what their roads are like.

I don't think you'll have a problem at all with the commute, his is a lot more comfy than mine, they are totally different set ups, both a pleasure to ride.

They've done 1000 miles each and had a service with no probs just a regular tightening of the chain and oil change etc Very Happy

Bloody hell Jodie, do you ride like a loon or don't you lube your chain. FFS I only ever have to adjust my busa chain when getting a new rear tyre fitted, Laughing
