sachs XTC125 4 stroke

[Keen]

Anyone see today's MCN?

It says that sachs are replacing the 2 stroke engine in their XTC125 with a 4 stroke single. Nice if you want economy, reliabilty and decent looks. Its a completely new market isn't it- anyone consider buying one??

Trust me, you dont want a 4 stroke 125. Looks nice though!

[Keen]

I agree- they're not really for me. Are you selling your custom bike now then? have you still got the scooter?

But if you really wanted/needed a 4 stroke its alot more appealing than a cg

[Doddmaster]

Yeah i still got the scooter.

I'd like a new bike as soon as I have passed my test, but thats unlikely because of insurance. I might have to wait for my no claims bonus in october

i read about that in the MCN, sure it aint gona be fast to keep up wiv rs's and nsrs

[WildGoose]

how much was your custom dodd?
and how much was insurance for it?

[Doddmaster]

It was £815 off eBay. The insurance was £426 TPO

How much???/ after me engine rebuild something a bit more reliable would be nice, along as it makes about 20 bhp

I reckon they'll keep it at 15hp... it's probably not worth designing one that can be derestricted for only a few more hp.

MCN said it should be £3499 OTR. A bit pricey for what I expect is a gs engine in nice body work (cos they're using a suzuki motor).

Drool drool.....Thats is gorgeous. What about the SV conversion, makes me wanna buy one. The only reason i didnt want it was because it didnt have a full fairing.

that SV is sooo sweet , its kinda like a duke 748 with japanese styling

[Keen]

yeah that SV was nice, not sure if I like the white bit round the front lights though. I think its cos it reminds me of a ducati but doesn't look as good. Apart from that though, fantastic
