So right i go out on my bike (push pedal) to look for a motorbike. I go the shop which has come recommended to me.

I'm looking for a 125cc, out from a van comes a DT125 which the shop has just got. Its pretty much brand new and is in mint condition, black and silver. I said to the chap how much for the DT125 and replies £1395 which if you were to see the bike thats real good i believe.

Then my bad luck strikes, oh i'm going on holiday tomorrow!!!
I told him, says if i leave £200 it will be waiting for me. I really want that bike just again my bad luck strikes it's out of my price range Crying or Very sad Crying or Very sad Crying or Very sad
I really need to get a full time job Confused

So my bad luck could be someone else's good luck, if you live in the west midlands area. Its the shop just off the ring road in stourbridge, as if you were heading to bridgenorth. GO take a look, that bike will not be there tomorrow, dt125's are rare.

Just a thought....
Tattyier 125s mx style bikes can be got from around £700 for decent ones. It may not look as pretty, but you may well find you enjoy riding it more because you aren't so worried about what will happen if / when you crash it.

Yeah G i wasn't looking for a DT but when it come out of the van, was like a slow motion thing from a movie lol Razz

Found a GN125 for £795, was in good shape also. Anyone know anything about this bike, like simple facts e.g. 30mpg or common problems, cheap to insure etc.

Cheers
Andy

It's about maybe the purchase of a 125cc bike, may help someone. Hopefully me Razz when buying a bike to learn on.
But i'll say sorry if this is actually in the wrong place Embarassed
