Need a bigger CC bike

[donniemateno]

Ive had my reliable honda xr 125 now for over a year but ill be honest...its making riding boring for me!

its so frustrating when im travelling not being able to overtake on single lane carriage ways or go in the fast lane on a dual lane . I kept the bike as i passed my CBT and then a few months later passed my bg bike test.

my question is what I should do witht he bike sell or swap?

my honda has 12 months M.O.T

Just get a bigger bike then if you've got a full license?

Simples
Either hold on to your old one and take it off the road (or dont and have it as a zippy doo-da)

Or flog it off, I dont think those bikes depreciate much so no rush

got a full license...have had since june 2011.

ive offered to part exchange but near me (chichester) the bikes on offer are tbh poor

[donniemateno]

i need to sell it to raise funds for a new bike,

only thing im worried about is I just insured this honda for the year 264 fully comp, im 21 years old im worried if I go and buy a cbr 600 for example im gonna get robbed

Patience is a virtue.

I edited my post after actually reading the thread properly

Personally, i'd either cancel the insurance or ride it out, depending on whether the first is possible (think you get 14 days to cancel the contract if its finance payments)

Sell the XR to me? I'll be interested if you do.

I could also bring my CBR 600 for you to have a sit on/feel for it.

I had an XR 125 when I was 17-19 (now want another one)

I did my test at 17, so at 19 went out and bought a CBR 600 (91 plate) for £900. Insurance TPTF was about £530.

It went down a lot year on year and now I can insure it for about £80 and I'm 24 now.

It's not for sale btw, would just be showing you what it's like.

PM me if interested in selling the XR.

i got a quote on a bigger cc bike out of interest Kawasaki GPZ 500s 02 reg 8000 miles full service history, only a extra 16 quid + 30 admin which i fink is reasonable! gives me a rough idea on a bigger CC bike

You'll soon LOVE biking again when you go bigger !!!

thats the bike in question i looked at

[Alpha-9]

[donniemateno]

lol sorry

you think its worth going to check it out perhaps?

[Alpha-9]

Unless it's too far away, why not? nothing to lose!

But i'd get some more knowledgeable types in this thread, i'm noobier than you no doubt

But that's a ten year old bike
But it looks like its in good nick.

If you check it out bring someone more experienced with you, else you'll just be like oo this looks nice and not really know what to look for other than sitting on it and seeing if you like its 'feel'
