13 previous owners

[Renton]

Hi there,

Been away, not had a bike but now thinking about getting one. Only a small one to commute once a week but the one I have found has 13 previous owners.

I have done the checks and they are all good.

Just a mad number of previous owners - is it worth looking at?

Learner legal, change hands frequently when a bigger bikes purchased. Cpuld be a perfectly legitimate reason

Agree with DB, I only had my 125 for 4 months before passing it on when I got my full license.

Id say the condition of the bike was the most important thing.

Think I agree and will take a look. I had my 125 for all of 7 months I suppose. Cheers.

More worth thinking about is the fact that traillies and 125s are both twoc magnets so inspect carefully :)

For the same sort of money you could get a proper bike like an sv.Still good for your commute but go anywhere as well.

Aye but using 3 times as much fuel everywhere

For a start, it's too expensive for what it is.

You have to be very careful buying that model of XR125...especially from the London area. A lot of XR125s' in London have a good chance of having been couriered to an inch of their life....might be where the huge number comes from :p
