No matter which place I look, eBay, MCN, BikeTrader..

All the CG125's are either too far away from me, Or close but too expensive..

What do I do..? Change the bike im planning on getting (CG125) Even though I put alot of thought into it?

Get someone to check the bike out, then either get a train up and ride it back or get a bike delivery company to collect it Thumbs Up

eBay, Bike Trader and MCN will always have adverts for bikes that are relatively expensive because of the cost of placing an advert. Cheap bargain bikes can be found in the freeads.

Agreed, also this means when you come to sell it you could probably get your money back becuase they're rare in your area Very Happy

Catch a train and ride back. I rode 150miles on my YBR when I first bought it. Good times... oh how I loved that bike.

I'd love that Smile

My Postcode is B82ED,

I also wouldn't mind getting a Transporting Service to get it for me, Provided that its a good deal and the total cost (With Transport Service of about £100-150) is below £700

Older model, 30 miles from you so you could ride it back.

https://cgi.ebay.co.uk/HONDA-CG-125cc-Motorbike-Learner-Legal-/130389595083?cmd=ViewItem&pt=UK_Motorcycles&hash=item1e5bd353cb

Little over your budget and 50 miles away

I'll keep searching.

Suzuki EN's are a good 125 bike that might be worth looking into can usually pick one up for a good price.

Honda CB's and also the susuzki GS are all bikes that look like the CG's and have the same reliability and drive, and can be picked up quite cheap.

Id also recommend looking in local advertisements like local news papers, or even the Ad Mag if you have that for your region =D

Local bike schools can be a good source too.

Yamaha SR125's tend to be a little cheaper. I loved mine and it could do U-turns practically by itself.

Wrong time of year for a cheap bike. Everybody wants a bike during the first half of summer. If you were to look at the beginning of november they'd be alot cheaper.

Keep looking, one will turn up eventually.

I was looking for a CG for ages, then I found a CBR125 for £400 (stolen recovered). Thumbs Up
