Just a quicky for the green laners/off road-types

[Rae]

Hi there, Due to many many reasons i'm looking to bin my car and get a bike (running costs mainly at the moment) And as i only have my CBT completed, i'm looking for a 125cc MotoX style bike....

So, i have road gear (Jacket, gloves, boots and lid) But if anyone knows of anywhere to get (not necessarily cheap, but off-road kit on a budget) I'd appreciate the input.

And any suggestions on the aforementioned bike would be nice (under £1,000 would be awesome for one in reasonable condition)

Thanks in advance guys/girls and those that are as yet undecided!

http://www.ghostbikes.com/ For all your kit needs, excellent shop I used for all my offroad gear. As for bikes a dt125 will be your best bet if your looking to get into greenlaning. Nippy little two stroke you should be able to pick up in decent condition for around a grand.

Do be aware that full on MX gear has bugger all protection for road riding, it has next to no abrasion resitance on tarmac its designed for dirt impact and abrasion not tarmac.

I would keep the road stuff for when you use the bike on road and get some MX gear for greenlaning.

T'was the original plan, although i think i may still wear a proper jacket when cash flow allows, seen one that takes my fancy in Hein Gericke
