YBR125. Loads around in that price range, easy to source parts, will basically be worth what you paid when you come to sell. ____________________ Current - '94 VFR750FR, '00 VFR800FI Previous - '10 Street Triple R, '92 MZ ETZ301, '05 TTR250, NSR125R, KMX125, "Honda" Win (chinese copy of an old Honda design with a C90 engine)

I'm not a china bike hater, I'd go with a CFMoto or a Lexmoto if I had to.
I had a Honda vt125 shadow and would thoroughly recommend one, if they weren't so expensive these days.
My mates son in law has a Lexmoto LXR 125, he got a 2021 for £1800. Has a few scratches from being dropped on each side but was otherwise top notch. I was out with him last weekend. The bike looks cracking for a 125 and he hit 70 on a decline. Also overtook a car and tractor, I was impressed. His first time out after doing his CBT. Only nearly killed himself once by forgetting how to take a corner, but all good. The LXR reminds me of an R3. It feels like a bigger bike than 125. You could do worse. Maybe pick up an older one.

The only one of those I've had my hands on was a copy of a Honda CN250 engine, in a Jonway scooter. The head gasket blew at 4000 miles, in fixing that I discovered that the camshaft had gone through the white metalling - no reason for it, the valve clearances were OK, it was just made of cheese.
I'm not a hater per se, it's just that I have never owned or worked on - or even know of - a Chinese domestic market bike that wasn't total junk. IMO they're just not worth the effort. |
