More mature...only in numbers Jay!!

You are not going to get much for a grand thats for sure. Youd probably get a battered bike like mone for that, but shes reliable and well maintained, just some batttle scars etc and high milage. Absolute minimum is going to be about £1500 to be honest for anything half decent. That siad, stranger things have happened and i have seen a couple on Autotrader for £1200, but without seeing them its hard to tell.

Make sure its had regular oil changes, and is just generaly looked after, just dont expect to buy a minter for that money. It will need somethings doing to it, but nothing that cant be sorted for a few beer tokens, things like
Brake overhaul
Brake lines(Past thier best after 5 years unless braided)
possible cables (Throttle and choke)
General good service
Fork oil change
possible fork seals
Possible rear shock (Again past its best after about 20,000 miles - Replace with alternate shocks about £50 second hand)

It will have corrosion on the forks, it will have little bits of rust here and there, the paint will probably have flaked off the engine, but as i said, nothing too major. Just look for something thats not as bas as the others. If you find something, then ask on here, im sure someone would have owned it!

TBh honest matey i think you would have more fun with a 125, because unless your doing your A1 full test your not getting an SV legaly and your looking @ about £290 for a two day course your not gaurenteed to pass. if you have never used a geared bike before i think even a ristricted SV would be too much, But i dont know you, so do as you please

your good 125CC options : if you cant afford from new get a job - if you havent already and get a finance agreemant. these bikes below are the dogs balls mate of the 125cc - full of teenage street cred and gaurenteed chick puller ( ah to be 17 again lol, im only 21 )

trust me if you want a bike to rag around town the sv is HONESTLY not for you, the SV hasnt got the RAG-ability like the bikes below. and if misused the SV will Damage you a lot more than these.
AND ONE LAST POINT - INSURANCE, insurance on these models will be Sweet F-all about £300 TPFT ang £600 FC, An SV will cost you about a grand!

ALL OF THESE OPINIONS ARE MY OWN MATE, SO DO AS YOU PLEASE BUT I WAS IN YOUR POSITION LAST 2 YEARS AGO - TRUST ME I WAS ONE OF YOU LOL,


1. The Aprillia RS125 - only buy as new in my opinion - they get thrashed



2. Cagiva mito 125 - bit like a two stroke 125cc Ducati - again buy from new! but they are amazing + it Has BREMBO brake callipers ! ! !



3. Yamaha DT125 - more of a crosser type - trailie - i had one of these, you can RAG the shizzle out of them!!!
