    Ok all you clever guys and girls......

    We are looking for a 125cc bike for Deb and i must say i know nothing about them.(Which is pretty much the same with the bikes i got now,just smaller i guess)
    What is available in this country what to go for or what not to touch.
    Deb is looking for something in the Trail bike categories i guess.Sitting comfortable upright,bit of a fairing for the short trips and so on.
    So what would you guys and girls suggest?
    How much money are we looking at??
    and would i be able to trade one child(which seems to have recently developed a mental Orange disorder) in for one?
    Cheers Pete and Deb
    They call him "Ze Quiet one"
    I listen to what the rice crispies tell me to do

    TW125 Yamaha, bullet proof, indestructable and it's got big fat tyres (eh Annette).

    any Honda 125 or YBR125 Yam.

    I'll get looking mate.

    Depending on inside leg measurement and budget, anything from Varadero 125

    to a Suzuki VanVan


    and all sorts in between.

    I'd steer clear of the cheaper Chinese CG125 clones, they look good but build quality isn't quite there yet.

    Just my opinion

    You're welcome

    I'm sure that Raven will be around soon to quote on the Vara 125

    Suzuki VanVan comes in grey or orange( ) and with a bit of haggling you can pick a brand new one up for £2k.



    The Yamaha TrailWay is a good little bike as well

    One going cheap here and not far from you.



    As Stan has said - pretty much any of the Honda 125 family, but they are a bit gutless even by 125 standards.

    I think the baby Varadero might be a bit too tall to help with Debs confidence at the moment.
