Sell it but break it up and sell parts on ebay or something. If you want realiability then go for something like the nsr or cbr. If you want speed then a rs125 will be perfect but you will have to look after it very well. I have an rs, its covered 10,000 miles and it hasnt had a rebuild yet and the compression is 130psi which is brilliant, so if you look after it they look after you.

Hi

Not sure how it can leak oil from there. That is on top of the engine. Tends to suggest it is too full of oil (by a long way), or it is 2 stroke oil which has dribled down from the carb.

All the best
