In all my time in searching for a bike I have'nt come across a 125 with over 60k Miles on the clock!

Either somethings fishy or Honda have done a good job! Thumbs Up

If you look at the wear on the ignition lock, I'd say 60k is about right.

It'll likely have been couriered.

No reason why a honda shouldn't do that sort of mileage.

The trouble is statistically most of them belong to a sucession of 17 year olds and those that haven't been crashed or "tuned" to death land up being stolen then dumped in a river.

Shocked Shocked My XR125 only had 3k on it when I bought it, it's got 7300 on it now though and it's an '06. That bike has had a fair bit of use lol.

If it's legit, then it just goes to show that they are extremely reliable Thumbs Up

Hey,

If my memory serves me correctly (I am getting on a bit not) my dads old CB125 was approaching the 60k mark. Was still running too until warped got his hands on it Laughing

Cheers,
Shaun.

I sold my XR125 with 21k on the clock, I can tell you it was a smashing bike! I tried finding 'trick' bits for it but there was very little on the market.

I've thrown it down the road twice, god knows what the previous 9 Shocked owners did to it.
