No.

You can find nice deals, I picked up my 2000 CLR125 for £200 on ebay. Needs MOT and a few little bits, all done for under £50 though.. MOT on saturday, its then cost me maxium of £300.

Also I wouldnt recommend a "decent" 125 2t to commute on, I did on the RS, but it left me stuck a few times. I'd trust my commute on something like a KH125/RXS100... cheap and cheerful Thumbs Up

EDIT : Almost forgot, pics of sister Thumbs Up

I loved my RXS but the brakes have scared me more than once. That said, the bike itself is fantastic and you learn to adapt to the brakes.

Standard response is 4 stroke 125s with disc brakes: Honda CG125/Cityfly, Suzuki GS/GN125, Yamaha YBR125. Good, solid, reliable bikes which stop.

had a cg125 lined up but the silly moo spent so much time umming and ahhing that the bastard thing went by the time i went to buy it.

in the way of 125s round swansea way there seems to be fack all going on and she needs something immediately rideable, havent got time to piss around fixing things up before riding.

that said i can spend about 600 for her. preferably a 4t
