New Bike - First Bike

[mattfuzzy]

just thought id let you lot all know that i got my first bike today
its a Gilera DNA 125 (4stroke me thinks by the sound of it) i cant believe how big the bike is aswell i thought it would be as small as the cbr125 and its about twice as big!
its a dragon red 2001 model with 8,200-ish miles on the clock, has a little rust on the exaust and here and there, all parts are replacable so im not worrying about that too much, i didnt ride it home (it was near bath so a good 60 miles i think and i had no insurance and didnt want to smash the bike up in the dark) so my uncle (whos been riding bikes for more years than i can count) rode it home and got 65mph out of it, it sounds like a beast aswell
the guy i brought it off had it from new and now has a honda cbr125 (think just so he can get used to the gears as he's been riding this bike for the last 4 years with no gears)
all in all i think its not bad for £850 (o and a bottle of whiskey for the uncle)
