Well, after crashing my 125 in October last year and badly hurting myself, then having it nicked in January I went through a phase where I just gave up on bikes.

Well, today I went out and bought this https://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=9807&item=4557491681&rd=1&ssPageName=WDVW Very Happy

Cost me £1375 and safe to say it is the NUTS. That Micron can on it is so loud it's untrue Very Happy

Anyway, got my theory test booked for the 5th of next month, so hopefully if I pass I'll be doing my test soon after that. Hopefully wont be long before I'll be coming out on some rideouts with some of you guys Very Happy

Good work Thumbs Up

Bikeing is dangerously addictive!

Good luck with the new bike, take care its still a serious bit of bike!

Make sure you keep eveything cleaned and empty out any fuel from the carbs if its not going anywhere to stop it getting gummed up and stop you haveing problems later on..

Have fun Thumbs Up

Sounds like you got a bargain there. I was eyeing that one up on ebay, looks a very nice bike, I like the red, goes with the bike quite well. Have fun on it and ride safe. Smile

Looks like a nice bike, and I like the colour, but am I right in thinking the fairings are from a much newer model? I hope you checked it over well for other damage.

Yeah, I checked it properly. Went with my old man who's a spanner monkey, and he'd know full well if there were any problems and it checked out fine.

He took me to work and back on it today, was hitting 125 on the clock 2 up, so it's safe to say it flies Twisted Evil

That's a VERY good price for that bike mate. My old man was worried about the price, but a standard one without the paint job, no can etc. goes for about £1500 with more miles.

I'm happy with it anyway Very Happy Twisted Evil Very Happy
