 Post subject: 125cc Wanted
PostPosted: 29 Jan 2011 22:19 
I'm after any 125cc road bike for my girlfriend who's just done her CBT.
As long as it has gears and an MOT, anything goes.

The cheaper the better, she did buy a 1989 Honda CG125 for £300 but it's falling apart so it's going back but thats the sort of thing we're after.

She'll only need it for 12-18 months so after that time I'll either donate it back to the seller to sell again or flog it and donate the money to UKBEG.

Let me know, cheers. :yup:

you might be better off fixing the CG125 as they seem to hold there money
how about looking for 100cc instead .
125 is the big bike for the post CBT popular choice so more expensive

The CG would just be too much hassle and expense and I'm throwing too much money at my Buell to fund another venture!
I just need something for 12 months that doesn't need money and time chucked at it.
Been looking for a 100cc but all I can find is off road bikes, she's after a little cruiser or commuter really.

There's plenty of cheap crap about but I'm waiting on the decision of a woman. If it was up to me I'd duct tape the cg together and have done with it. She'll want something bigger half way through the summer anyway.

Why not? All about spreading the word...

I can imagine that there are probably restrictions on putting links on your Marylin Manson forum to the Take That forum, but I don't think they exist here...

Do you know if she could ride your cb400 on a cbt if it was restricted or are you stuck on a 125cc?
