:welcome: to Total Motorcycle. :D

Well, 30,000 miles isn't a lot, but on a 125 it is and it's old. You could keep it for a put around bike, but I would try to sell it while it is running good and use the money (plus extra if you have some) to get either something a little bigger or newer.

Is it your first bike then? How long have you been riding for?

Well you are not really interested of it i guess you can sell it just condition it first and make it look brand new, there might be people interested in buying it.

Well I certainly don't condone pushing it in the canal! But if you aren't in love with it anymore then sell it and move on.

What other bikes would you consider?
