Have you viewed the bike?

[Louise]

Nope Partner will later on as its in her area. Of course if its not upto scratch i wont buy.
But just asking for opionions

[dbrbot]

if you're 17+ why not just get a 125cc bike of some kind?

[extreme3d]

A few of my thoughts. I know they are a bit blunt so please don't take offense. I just feel someone needs to take the plunge and say what needs to be said.

I don't see why you would want a 50 before getting a 125 if you are able to ride a 125 in the first place.

It's not as if a 125 is a large capacity sports bike that will surprise you with it's power over a 50.

If you are that worried about riding a bike then why are you even considering a race rep with side farings? You will drop it and break all that plastic instantly loosing your money.

Might i suggest you save your money and buy a nice cheap 4 stroke 125 like a honda cg125. It will do 60mph all day long with no risk of it going bang (like a 2 stroke does...a lot) and it will be much easier for you to learn how to use gears before doing your main test and getting your license. (which should be your aim)

It's a good price for the bike, but I rode one and they are sorely underpowered. I suspect a very small person could get 60mph but the lad who owned the one I rode had his de-restricted and it wouldn't top 50. He was a big lad though.

[EuropeanNC30R...]

It looks fairly good for the money, but...

After doing my CBT when I was 17, I was half tempted by a cheap 50 in a local salvage yard because I'd thought the 125's seemed quite fast.

Luckily I read some reviews on said bike, didn't go for it and eventually got a 2-stroke 100. Within a few weeks I was on top of the speed and realised buying the 50 would have been a bad move.

[Whosthedaddy]

Hold out for a 125, you will only regret buying a 50cc days later.

Please get a 125 CC the 50cc is like a scooter, you will be changing the gear every 5 mph... please please get a 125cc

Def get a 125 the 50 will bore you soon and sound terrible. Since when does a 50cc do 65mph?

Anders is right you will be changing the gears every5mph and will annoy you when you get used to it. Plus hills will be interesting on a 50cc they dont like hills.

Nice looking bike but better off 125cc.

Umm her question was 'is it a good deal' ... not 'shall i get a 50 or a 125'

My opinion, any bike with 12 months tax and MOT for that money is a good deal if it's mechanically sound, so i'd get it mechanically checked because IT'S ONLY A 50 AND WILL WORK HARD TO COVER THE SAME MILEAGE AS A 125 .... Lmao.

Idealy I would like a 125. Faster, and Ill be able to do Portsmouth to Brighton quicker.
But, Money is the problem. I needa bike NOW lol. i cant stand the thought Of having no bike (And mines only been gone 4 hours)
600 Is ok for me. But most 125 hit the grand mark.
May sound bad but I dont want an old CG.
If I drop the bike, I drop it. lesson lernt.

I could also see a profit in the TZR also. Alot on Ebay go for around 800-1000.

As for my licence. Just a CBT - Never riden a geared bike. End of September is the next avalible slot for me to pratice on a Geared, at the price of 50-75 quid. Which I feel is just wasting cash for 2 hours.

[Handsome]

If gears bother you that much, 50 quid plus is a worthy investment and wouldn't take to long to recover.....

Just a thought / example, you can pick decent 125's up for less that a ton

really dont worry about gears.

I 1st drove a bike on my cbt, i hadnt rode one before, and got the hand of it quite quickly.

First few lessons, i stalled a few times, infact i even stalled my gixxer600 today

You drive a car so you know the 'concept' of gears, so you should be fine.

Good luck

[Louise]

Its also where a bike is advertised aswell.
Seen this one. No mot but not a bad price.
Know the fairing is scratched but, dosnt bother me

And I am reallllllly sorry about the questions, I just wanna feel good knowing ive asked for advice then be dumped with a heap of crap

[Drew]

[Drew]

As i said in your other post Louise, i wouldnt buy/bid on a bike with no mot unless you are viewing it first and can assess what is needed to pass the mot.
