Will it last me 2 years?

[FLuX]

thinking of getting the NSR over the MZ sm125 coz i can get parts much more easily! and i can get a good one for about 2k! and still have 500quid left. and teh insurance is aexactly same on both bikes

But the ownly downside is, will this bike last me if i use good 2 stroke oil, change the oil regularly, and warm it up before i ride off on it?

if i do all of the above of which im more than capable of doing, will it last me 2 years? oh and ill just like to get it to 80mph which is easy!

cheers!

Well the bike will last two years, but sadly you won't. No you're not going to die, you'll get bored and move onto something bigger. It happens to everyone (who passes their test [/me nudges colin and others ])

Should be fine, Colin has had his over 3 years, and its never been that bad!
Had mine over a year now and just needed regular crap thats needed for these bikes.

Like any bike, you look after it and it will do the same to you. (With some luck anyway )

Mine lasted me two years no problems. Can be a very good bike to learn to ride on - especially as an introduction to knee down activities Get one and enjoy it - but don't spend too much. Chances are you'll crash it at least once I'm afraid

Chances are the bike will need a top end rebuild in 2 years, just like any other 2 stroke will.

Other than that, it depends on the mileage that you do exactly what else will need replacing.

As for them saying that you will get bored - I've had mine for over 3 years now and it still gives me a grin when i ride it. Yes, if I had passed my test i would probably of gotten rid of it, but its because I am happy with the NSR that I'm in no rush to do the test.

cheers. but i have been told that a top end rebuild isnt much. so im definately on the search for a NSR125 now !

[Ste]

Depends really. I'd have gone insane from the lack of power on the NSR for two years

I reckon you're best spending less money on one and then doing some training and your test, get the 33bhp clock ticking and get a 400cc.

[G]

It depends.

Most people will want a bigger bike before then... usually laziness is the main thing preventing it .

You can get a good NSR for a tad over £1k. Just it won't look as good.
You're paying that extra £1500 for a bike that looks shiney and new when you get it.
You have to work out whether you value those looks when you get it at £1.5k or now.

[FLuX]

im not bothered about value at the end of it so ill get the best my money can buy!

Where do these kids get all their money.
When I was a kid (last year) I had no money


o right I still don't have any money

Good luck with the nsr!

I Brought mine from new, passed my test, de-restricted, got bored (and fed up of the 2-stroke fuel/oil consumption) and sold it all within 6 months - a VERY expensive mistake that i'm still paying for. I've had two progressively bigger bikes since then which, when combined, are a whole grand cheaper than what I paid for the NSR - doh!

I originally was going to keep it for atleast 2 years until my restriction period was over...

cheers for the replies but the price doesnt matter and i wont get bored of the NSR125 trust me :p!!!! oh and about losing a bit of money ill be in the army then and getting 14 grand, with food and accomodation payed for. so technically if i save which will be easy as 75% of my wages will go into a saving account ill be minted its all sorted

but thnx for all the replies much appreciated!

[Ste]

So you're going to live on £250 a month including running the bike? I'd think again

[FLuX]

no, i get all my meals paid for, accomodation. all i need to spend money on is fuck all so like 250 quid can just go on the bike

[Ste]

Lets see. Couple of trips to the pub a week: say £10-20 a time. So we're at say £40-80 already

Petrol: its a thirsty little bugger, it'll go through about £8 every 100 miles. Say a tank a week, plus some two stoke. Plus general parts, wear and tear. Tyres need replacing, brake pads wear out, oil needs changing, It all adds up. Say a good £70 I reckon at least a month.

Insurance. Say you pay monthly and get TPFT for paying monthly for £750 (i'm guessing you're about 18) That's another £75 a month roughy.

And you'll spend money on general crap, clothes and living. Lots and lots of crap normally. And you'll crash your bike and break it. And you'll want things like a full license, better kit, and other stuff.

£250 is waaaay out

[FLuX]

no, im paying for my insurance in 1 lump sum. as soon as i get my bike oh and to prove ill have enough :p my mate joined the army last year saved up nearly 10 grand already! and only spends about 70 quid on average a month on things in them army so ill have enough!

[Bendy]

£70 a month? What a rock and roll time he must be having.

[FLuX]

lol! well ill just save 50% of my wage then shall i hehe! dont matter coz ill still have enough
