Mr. Green LMAO! Put my 125cc in the local paper just yesterday. Erm how many calls am I going to get Neutral Mr. Green I shouldn't feel so bad a lot of people are stupid Mr. Green
Seriously though what do you reckon? Is there any chance of selling a 125 at this time of year?

My RVF, with all its polished loveliness (exposed alloy) sold 3 weeks ago....

You might be surprised, a fair few people may be looking for a winter hack at this time of year, 125s may fit the bill for some.

who doesn't, irrespective of the time of year...#


you want a good deal don't you? course you do. Also, you don't want to be left trying to sell a bike for months on end, so sometimes it's better to cut your losses, and sell for a little under the original asking price, just to make life easier for everyone.

if you're not serious about selling tho, then I'd just walk away

I've owned a T reg NSR 125 (when it was 2 yrs old) a GPZ 500, I curently have a Thunderace and a CB125, and drive a Xantia. in total, I have spent £1750 on the whole lot.

I bought a 125 in February!! Did my CBT in February, bought all my gear in February. Woman at the bike shop looked like she'd not had a a customer in weeks, even walked with me to my car, to put all gear in it.

Wicked amount of snowfall here in Plymouth a few hours ago. Loads of the stuff, and I had a driving lesson in it too! Cool

Can't believe anyone would say don't go there Question If I could afford to keep it I would. It's been so much fun to ride, totally reliable, cheep to run good on fuel and a great conversation maker amongst other bikers. People would always be coming up to me asking what it was, going on about the big fat tyre on the back Mr. Green I'll really miss it.
Sure your interested? Londons a long way from Plymouth Mr. Green
