hey, her indoors is in need of a second hand 125cc leaner leagal bike ( cruiser style ) needs to take her cbt again , needs to be around £500-£750 in good ish nik with tax/mot

You can get some good bargins on eBay at the moment.
I had a Skyjet .. I know Chinese copy of a Jap bike (CBR125) but did me great when I was learning & I had no issues at all with it, & it was only £1100 brand new!
Karey also rides an import as do a lot of others & I know they do cruiser styles ... in fact Ziggys is a cruiser ish style
i have a yamaha dragstar 125 in my back garden - the lady that owns it bought it last year - got a 12 month m.o.t. on it and taxed it - has spent all winter doing it up with chrome and new stuff - and has never been on it - she now doesnt want it and is taking her car test - told me last week she is going to sell it
now heres the bad bits
firstly it doesnt start anymore - battery went dead over the winter - i re-charged it but the bike still wont start - thing its something to do with the safty switch thing - when i took the battery off to re-charge it -
and 2ndly - i dont know how much she wants for it yet - she paid a grand for it and has done alot of work - but if she wants rid im sure you could offer her a bit less - she might just grab it
some lovely ones on ebay (and I dont like cruisers) all below are less than £1000 or have a buy it now of less just search 125 cruisers ... good luck all
I bought my daughter abrand new Vixon 125 just before xmas she is 5ft 2inch She has hardly ridden it but is pregnant so is not able to ride anymore ( her biker gear don't fit) She is thinking of selling it and would be looking at just under a grand as it is virtually brand new.
Pm me if anyone is interested and for more information.
I'm 5 foot with very short leggies and the yamaha 125 dragstar was on my list when I was looking for a 125.
I ended up getting a suzuki vl 125 intruder and it's an absolutely crackin bike & I love it to bits. I bought it off a mate who got it off ebay for £800 which I think is an amazing bargain. Like I said I have very short legs and can (almost) flat foot it cos of the low seat height. I believe the marauder is a similar height
If her legs are proportionately a bit longer has she considered a suzuki RV 125 van van? That was what I really really wanted but the seat height was a tad too high for me. Shame cos they look really good fun
