i wouldn't say you're mad for looking at em, but then again we don't know how much money you've been given to go play with.
if you feel a 125 would suit you, and a classic bike would be practical enough...why not?
that being said i don't know much about Bsa 125's ____________________ Current: Kawasaki ZL600 Eliminator

I have ridden one or two old? Brits? : AJS Stormer, BSA Bantam, Triumph Tiger90 and a couple of others.
Although I will be the first to admit that my experience is limited, here`s two pennyworth.
My experience of the BSA Bantam was not a good one.
That may? of been down to the fact that it was a bad`un, but it was slow, slow and slow, popped and spluttered a lot and was beaten in all aspects by a Yamaha YB 100.
The Tiger 90 was a decent bike and I liked it (sort of?).
The AJS stormer was a bit of a nutter and noisy and not road legal.
funny old thing is that I was looking at a Royal Enfield Continental and an Ariel Leader just yesterday and thinking how nice they would look in my garage (dreaming just dreaming) ____________________ I am the sum total of my own existence, what went before makes me who I am now! |

If you want a bike for the riding; stupid.
If you want a bike for "look at me and my cool bike"; sensible choice.

My point stands; for a lot less money, easier availability of parts and the like you could get a similar spec modern bike that's probably a good bit better spec.
So if the bike is for riding, go for the modern bike still, I say . |
