PM AL-
He is looking for a 125. ... or just let him post above me Rolling Eyes Laughing

Also, for £1200 you can get a fair bit, what type of bike do do you want? You aren't far from me IIRC, so if you see one close to Maidstone/Medway I'll go have a look for you.

Pretty sure he's after a big boy bike.

Oh and take a look round some local dealers, they'll give you a half decent trade in for a good 125.

I paid £1270 for my GS500F (2004) a few weeks ago. Probably more than some of you would have liked to pay for it, but I'm happy. Thumbs Up

Keep looking, something will pop up.

Also with eBay, if the advert says "advertised elsewhere so I reserve the right to end the advert early", it pretty much means "make me a cash offer and you can take the bike right now". That's what I did with my GS500F, rather than bidding. Thumbs Up
