https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2011-11-YAMAHA-YZF-R125-LEARNER-SUITABLE-/190669934530?pt=UK_Motorcycles&hash=item2c64d04fc2#ht_1556wt_1270

A used yzf-r125 and they want £5995 for it! Shocked

They're £4349 brand spanking new on the Yamaha website.

I guess it has something to do with the fact the previous owner had finance on the bike, but you can't expect someone to be stupid enough to pay six grand for a 125, let alone a used one. Laughing

Just love the L-plates on a bike like that Laughing

This is the bit that gets me:

Who buys a brand new bike just to do 2000 miles!

I wouldn't even consider buying new unless I planned to run it in to the ground or had enough money for it not to bother me.

I could buy two '98 R1s for that.

Then I would have more bhp than the best of BCF put together!

Is it possible that a dumb dealer thinks it's an R1? Looking down a list of prices & sees YZF-R1.......price new £10k....wonder if the kid trading it in got £4k for it? Shocked

I believe these trinkets are currently the best selling "sports" 125. Shocked

So maybe that dealer figures that since lots of people are retarded enough to pay £4420 (don't forget first registration and VED costs) for them, then they only need one super retard to rock up and have this one, cuz it does 100mph easy blud, is well wicked in black innit, durnt show up on the po-po radar or nuffink.

I presume that one may be worth more than a new one as it has a unique selling point...

Gotta be a typo Laughing

Probably selling for that much as it has super unleaded in it, making it go at least 30mph faster Wink

To be fair a full tank of super unleaded isn't far off the extra £2k these days...

To be fair, Boss Man probably said "£3995" and the web monkey mis-heard him. Not as funny though. Wink

Quite a lot seem to be up for more than the price on the Yamaha web site but not by that much!
