Let me see if I have this correct.
You're 50/50 to giving away 2 Japanese made 600cc FZR bikes in need to tax and MOT in exchange for one Chinese 125cc cruiser.

Why?

IMO sounds like a bad trade. Do you need the smaller bike for in town or something? That said, it's Chinese, so you can't guarantee build quality.

In your ad you put

i didn't want to put this on the forum cos i'll get a bad name...
but i'm riding the fzr's 6days a week to get to and from work and i'm not legal i've just got over a ban a few week ago and i've still got to send off for it back.
i'm sending of for it this weekend when i get paid then doing cbt asap and want to go legal before the bum rape me.
thats the only reason why i'm 50/50.

Yours Ian

all of you will prob tell me to and i wouldn't blaim you...

Its a lifan

According to egay it weighs 190kg (wet or dry that is VERY heavy) and has about 11.5hp.

Now i ride a suzuki gz125 (same sort of style) that weighs about 135 dry which is heavy for a 125 and has about 11.5/12hp. And it still maxes out at about 65/70 with me on it (13 stone) on the flat.

And if you are after a learner legal bike, why not go for a 2 smoke sports? Or something simple like a cg/ybr?

Ditch the FZ's and get yourself a CG125 - something that will keep going until you can retake your licence...

Don't be tempted into getting a Chinese bike that will probably cause you more problems than it solves.

That's heavier than my 12 year old 600 CBR...

1aybe im missing something but you said both fzr's

why not sell one buy a shitty(no offence but they are) cg125 or something test friendly and keep the other as a project till you get your license sorted then sell the cg to pay the insurance/tax etc for the fzr you kept

my fzrs about 190kg with a full tank but puts out ~100bhp
(blah blah i hear the twits twitting but its the foxeye one with the thundercat engine)

edit:almost forgot - dont touch a chinese bike with your neighbours arse, theyre crap.

I've got a mate selling a mint 125 Eliminator, he might be interested in a swap... He seems to like projects, although he might be skint for a bit... here is a link to a link anyway:

Oh... forgot... as said... chinese bikes are crap... all the eletric cables are made out of odds and ends and just soldered or twisted together!
