Default My new and secret shame.

Picked up my little 'College Commuter' today - god it's whizzy!

I'd totally forgotton how to wring the throttle so far round just to get going but wow, it's so light, and tiny, and skinny, and chuckable!

So say hello to 'Brian the Snail' and my not-so-secret t*pbox shame:

That is mint! Seriously hunni, that looks just the thing for nipping to the shops. Was thinking of a scooter, but that looks loads better (with panniers / top box).

how much was it and how did you find it?

Why would you want that much lugguage on a 125. Youre hardly going to tour on it...unless you where VERY dedicated!!

I like the Varadereo 125 a lot.

I also like the fact it has Bridgestone stickers down the forks but has Pirelli tyres
