Road legal 125 supermoto

Hi guys, can anyone suggest a good 125 road supermoto? I'm wanting a four stroke simply because it's cheaper to run. I'm quite big, 6ft3 200lbs, so will need to be solid. I'll pay around £1500-£2000 for a second hand one. I've seen the derbi senda drd 125 sm, what's your view on that? cheers

What is the reason for SM?

Would you prefer a 125 or a 400, if its the latter, grab a cheapy 125 and do thy test Wink

But, not a lot but chinese tat in SM form. If you can find an XT125X, that would be nice.

Assumed you were 17 as you are asking for a 125.

Not a lot of choice then.. Thumbs Down

Must suck to know you wont get a real licence for YEARS Sad

Yamaha WR125X would be my choice for a 4 stroke, or XT125X like said above. The WR is quite a porker though, almost 130KG for a 125cc, that is a bit silly but it does look quite nice.

The Derbi Cross City 125 is a bit supermoto-ey. Looks good value new at less than a CBF125 - if you stretch your budget a little you could get a new one. Quite a nice bike IMO.

About as supermoto-y as a Hornet, or any other naked bike Laughing

Would say XR as usual.. however it is quite a low bike in my opinion.

I'm 5'11 and can put both feet flat on the floor.

Though it's much higher than the ybr / cg ect!

Thumbs Up

I had a Rieju SMX125 for all of a month before it was nicked but I quite liked it. Couldn't pull the skin off a rice pudding power wise but good brakes and handled well...it was actually quite entertaining to ride and I'm not saying that from the perspective of a 17 year old who's never ridden anything better as I'd already been riding for 10 years.

I'd never even heard of them but it popped up very cheap near me when I wanted a 125 for commuting so I bought it. When it got nicked the payout was nearly double what I paid for it too Laughing
