Buying a 125CC motorbike for cheap

#1 Unread post by Edcoleman »

Hi, i am considering buying a 125cc motorbike and wanted to know if you guys have any tips on what to look for/look out for? I am looking to spend £200-300. Also i have been talking to someone who claims to be selling a NRG 125cc rally for £140 but cannot find a Piaggio NRG 125 anywhere on the internet. Hi to everyone aswel because this is my first post.

The cheapest I've seen a decent 125cc bike for was a Gilera Coguar, for £700. If you want my advice, I'd seriously suggest you bump your budget up a bit.

Anything I've came across under £500 needed some work done to make it fully road worthy.

This is just my particular taste, you can not do that, but I think the Suzuki Van Van 125 looks good, very retro and very popular in Japan as well. Husqvarna also makes some very nice Super motard 125 with a lot of torque. But it depends on what style you really like.
