AFAIK my father-in-law passed his test at 16 and went out and bought a Triumph Bonneville He'd been riding for years before that
Life was a lot easier back in 1970. Kids today can't get away with that sort of stuff but then again you didn't have bikes that could do 186mph! ____________________ Husqvarna Vitpilen 401, Yamaha XSR700, Honda Rebel, Yamaha DT175, Suzuki SV650 (loan) Fazer 600, Keeway Superlight 125, 50cc turd scooter |

+1 on that , my 50cc supermoto has a Oxford boss alarm padlock and a thatcham sticker on the frame for that reason , though my college car park is secure (Id cards to enter with security on the gate) so I’m not that worried , as for my mates DT125X he won’t sell it , it’s his baby , he wants to keep it even when he gets his full licence.
Though what should I look out for in buying one |
Sounds like OP's mate has his head screwed on, and knows he has a decent late model 125 two stroke that's starting to gain value. Selling it would be pretty dumb, even if it was sitting next to a new R1M in the garage and he knows it!
Was worth asking though. You will struggle to find a good tidy ready to ride late model 125 two stroke, they are all old enough to have been abused or wreaked, but aren't old enough generally that anyone wants to restore one yet.
Such bikes do exist, and there's quite a few tidy European imports floating around, but something that's really tidy is a £2k bike now. Still great value compared to a £4200 new Japanese 125, and the new bikes used prices are going the wrong way unlike your pals bike.
Keep looking if it's the sort of thing your after, the DT125X is rare, but then so are nice Husqvarna WRE's or Aprilia MX/SX 125's. But if a nice one of any of them crops up you know what to do! |
