Every think in that bike are original parts


Model: XR 125
Type: Super Sport
Engine Size: 125 cc
Power: 140 Bhp

all that power with only 3 of the 5 gears it should have Rolling Eyes

more power than a 600 super sport, has to be worth buying
with that amount of power to weight ratio must be the world fastest 125

So everything is original except the upgraded brakes, exhaust and suspension?

Yeah, the brakes don't work so you can't possibly lock 'em up. Simple innit?

The description is right, but the numberplate has the wrong bike attached to it.

GJ07PXY is listed as a Honda Nt 700 Va-7, and they did have an ABS version.

The most annoying part is where he says "every think"

Aah well then there you go it's a confirmed scam.

Scammer has found a pic of an XLR, mis-read the reg number like I did, pulled the details from a car-check and inserted some of them in the Ad. Someone should report the scam to eBay.

Call me a spelling snob, but I would've stopped reading by the time I'd got to his location, if you cock up where you live, it doesn't bode well for the rest of the ad.

Only vaguely related, while browsing the classic car section earlier, I think I just saw the perfect minimalist, cop out description, "The Landrover is 50 years old, because of this it is worn".

Pretty much covers everything Laughing

The seat height is almost the same as on my bandit. I have one for commuting mainly because it is dirt cheap to run.

Hmm possibly lost cool points for admitting to that...

Lol in my eyes it's the perfect learner bike, that looks ok. I think the older Yamaha xt 125 x's look much nicer though, I'm just keeping an eye out to see what turns up first!
