where to find cheap bikes, I need a hack bike.

[89CBRChris]

Hi,

basically i am looking at getting a cheap (< £400) hack 125 bike to use during the winter part of the year cos at the moment I use my car for crap weather (I find the CBR unenjoyable in the rain but remember quite liking riding my old 125 in wet weather)

So far I found a couple in loot but they were both sold when I rung to ask about them (I've been looking at Suzuki GN125's, Honda CG's and Yamaha SR's)

So does anyone have any suggestions as to where I might find such a bike?

NW LONDON by the way.

Thanks Ste, ADTraders new to me so i'll give that a browse, Biketraders my fave but you dont seem to get many cheap bikes on there.

anyone else got any suggestions?

ebay and local papers, bike breakers can also be useful

I picked up a nice clean and tidy Suzuki GP100 - a 100cc 2-stroke.
Easy to ride, very light for use in the ice and does great jumps off of speed bumps!
After riding a 900 around for ages it's so nice and light, and the drum brakes are great for the winter too.
Edit - Oh, and it cost £400 from a dealer with years MOT, 9 months tax, full tank of oil and half tank of fuel.
