First bike for girly - any deals?
 

Girly has just passed her CBT this morning, and is very exited. (never ridden a bike before, always been my pillion). She's keen to get a small bike for a while, then maybe her full test in the future.
She can stretch to about £600, which isn't going to get much, but looking at the new prices of for example a CG125 at about £2k, I'm wondering if there are any dealer deals going, with say a deposit and interest free over 18 months / 2 years, so she could possibly get a new bike with a good trade in residual when she eventually takes her full test. maybe something with free bits thrown in, or free insurance (she's over 30), who knows whats out there?

Kwack 250??? Unsure on overall costs though

2nd hand SV? She can have mine for £500 if you come n take it away. Only needs some basic work done, i just cannie be assed nor have the time. Black Curvey K2.

EDIT, IM JOKING ABOUT THIS AS I'VE HAD SOME INTEREST...... BUT IT IS FOR SALE ;)

She's limited to 125cc and 12 horses for now

Go four stroke as they are cheaper to buy, run and maintain for a longer period of time and most of all more reliable.

We got a suzuki 125 from a salvage yard. Had been dropped on 1 side but no major damage and cost £15 to mend:) on top of the 900 paid for it on an 06 plate. Worth a look if you have 1 local to you

is she very particular in what she wants ??
As give Kymco a look, they are very reliable 9 a ( honda rip off that works )

CG125... Not exactly exciting but they're absolutely brilliant, and cheap too. And dead easy to resell, they'll never go out of demand.

If she wants something nicer/cooler/more interesting, then 125 trailies are ace, or the supermoto versions for that matter- they look and ride like proper bikes, but they're also dead practical. Wish I'd done that instead of getting my ridiculous cruiser.

Re: First bike for girly - any deals?
 

That's fast becoming my opinion too. I want to find a way she can get a new one, then when she takes her proper test it will still have a decent trade in value

If your after something like free insurenece i think that the yammy YBR 125 comes with it.
At my driving centre they did money off/ free insurence not too sure, if you bought it through them ( advantage wimboldon ).

George Whites are doing loads of 0% finance deals at the moment over 36/42 months.
Not sure if they're doing it on the 125 market, but it might be worth a call and asking, with the current state of the economy i'm sure they'd come to some arrangment.
