My new Repsol MSX 125

[wots]

I said I'd never buy a bike brand new, especially a Honda. But the lack (and I mean lack) of depreciation lead me to buy this.
Paid half deposit in cash and the rest 0%
It looks gorgeous and will be a lot of fun. Not many of these around with this paint scheme and the MSX is in short supply anyway.

I intend to trick this one up after first service. 165CC and 180CC kits are plentiful. The former is probably more realistic. As well as lots of bolt on tat (I will be selective with this). Picking it up on Saturday, hoping to do Brighton run on it, come Sunday.

Flaming is expected, but I just don't care.

Yes lad, good call

Ain't no repsol blade though.

I wouldn't flame you for buying that.

I'd flame you for getting it from what looks like Dobles.

Awesome little thing, DO WANT!

[thx1138]

To quote Bike magazine;

[stevo as b4]

Looks a fun and funky little thing, and not at all chavvy like most cheap pit bikes do.

I wonder how it compares to my Favourite pit/monkey bike the Kawasaki KSR80 though? Oh and I wonder how much a used KSR would cost that looks almost as clean too?

[wots]

It is from Doble, BUT, when my CBF rusted to shit. They sorted it without quibbling, whereas other dealers have, to put it mildly, considered their options.

I have nothing but praise for them.

Anyone seen these before? Apparently danmoto, but I like the adjustment on it, because let's face it, 125 exhausts can sound farty. Just like the idea of a silent get away in a morning, but that extra sound for filtering.

Can we please refer to it as a Grom like the rest of the world?

No flame, they look hilarious. I was laughing like a drain just sitting on one. Loads sold, few for sale used, you might as well buy new.

Has to be in Repsol colours just for the lulz of it.

I've seen a few dealers doing Repsol ones, that's one of the nicer schemes. Dobles even have one with a bit of red faux trellis frame bolted on too, just for extra WTF?

Not to get too Paddy, but you realise that if you leave it out and about then it needs to be anchored to a shark made entirely of pitbulls or it'll be gone faster than a refugee's gratitude?

I have the trellis it wasn't fitted in the pic. In fact they were just fitting it.

Yeah, security is an issue. We have a garage at work. Which this will fit in.

We've had a couple of guys go through DAS with these. We always have a play on them. They are a hoot. I would love one just to knock around on.

They are ridiculous looking things and I'll have no part in it.*


*Giz a go.

[wots]

I plan on keeping this, first 'service' is 600 miles essentially for nothing more than an oil change. They want £130.

Would you? When I got the CBF125, I knew very little and just bent over.

I am planning the upgrade to 165 in a few months, as soon as I look at that I'm binning most of the warranty, if not all.
