£1770 for a 2009 Honda 125 - now thats pretty good for something that would get me to work for sixpence.

What's point? Buy a 2000 ish CG for £500 and it'll do same job and be no more slow!

Well girly has passed her CBT, and we havn't really seen anything any good for less than 1k, and I want her to have something nice.
Would eat into the street triple and Toyota Hilux budget though.

i saw the release piccys and thought whats the point. kids are gonna buy the cbr, and maybe the cg125 cos its cheap. that looks a crackin bike for the money, i think the cg is now a bygone era.

It would take a lot of sixpences to get back the two grand you will spend putting that on the road.

Yeah, probably 4 years ownership would probably break even.

Get a C90 for £400 off Ebay.
