ApolloMozart Posted May 16, 2019 Posted May 16, 2019 (edited) I was left a bike (CBF125, 2009 reg, 13000 miles or so) and I don't know what do to with. Have all the papers for it.The bike was stolen then recovered a short while after, and had some plastics and parts replaced. Ended up with three different locks, the steering lock does not lock left side, only right side.MOT valid till August, tax is still being paid monthly...I have looked online, a newer bike can be had for £800. If I were to sell "my" bike I'll probably have to ask much lower, given the three different keys you need for it and the broken steering lock. Not really keen to spend much time seeing prospective buyers who just waste time.What you'd suggest doing?UPD---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- IF ANYONE IS INTERESTED IN HAVING A CHEAP 125, PLEASE GET IN TOUCH!---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Edited May 16, 2019 by ApolloMozart Quote
megawatt Posted May 16, 2019 Posted May 16, 2019 Give it away or sell it cheap. Not worth much with a short mot and 3 different keys. Quote
elizabethf Posted May 16, 2019 Posted May 16, 2019 If you're not bothered about making money just trawl forums like this or local biker groups on Facebook and see who's in need of a 125 whit barely any budget and offer it up to them? Quote
ApolloMozart Posted May 16, 2019 Author Posted May 16, 2019 Updated the initial post as per suggestion.Cheap (as chips) Honda CBF 125 with not one, not two but THREE keys!!! Quote
potatobroxd Posted May 16, 2019 Posted May 16, 2019 remove all the fairings and turn it into a stunt bike Quote
Guest Richzx6r Posted May 16, 2019 Posted May 16, 2019 Or break it and sell for parts, if you are up for giving it away I'll take it off your hands Quote
BIKERDAD Posted May 16, 2019 Posted May 16, 2019 What sort of price you have in mind .. as my daughter wants a bike to go to college on . . Is there much wrong with it cosmetic ad keys dont bother me . Thanks Quote
workpeter Posted May 16, 2019 Posted May 16, 2019 I dont understand, how does a bike have 3 locks?Best thing to do is to dismantle it and sell parts on ebay.It will take time but you could fetch well over a thousand. Quote
elizabethf Posted May 16, 2019 Posted May 16, 2019 It is strange there are three keys I must say. My 125 was a cat D due to being recovered (we presume, there were large scratch marks around the ignition barrel and the barrel itself was loose, plus the steering lock wasnt working until we fixed it all) but it had two matching keys. Is one for the new ignition, one to open the pillion seat and then one for ?? or something? Quote

dynax Posted May 16, 2019 Posted May 16, 2019 If you wasn't so far away, i would have done a deal with you, as i am looking for a project Quote

In which case it possibly would have been deemed a write off, maybe? Quote
Guest Richzx6r Posted May 16, 2019 Posted May 16, 2019 Last key is definitely for the drivers door Quote
fastbob Posted May 16, 2019 Posted May 16, 2019 Or just get a lock set . Give the bike a good rub down with WD-40 and flog it for £500 https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.co.uk%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F143208284514 Quote
Guest Richzx6r Posted May 16, 2019 Posted May 16, 2019 GIVE IT TO ME ! Oi I'm trying to get this Quote
Guest Richzx6r Posted May 16, 2019 Posted May 16, 2019 How about a 24 pack of coke cans and a satsuma peel in the shape of a gentlemans sausage and veg? Quote
Guest Richzx6r Posted May 16, 2019 Posted May 16, 2019 Well in that case looks like I'm the next new owner of a 125 Quote
ApolloMozart Posted May 17, 2019 Author Posted May 17, 2019 Regarding the three keys - yes ignition, seat and fuel tank have each a different key!The bastardin0s who stole the bike broke the fuel tank and the cap with something flat, like a massive screwdriver. The cap was not closing properly so had to be replaced, alongside the fuel tank!There has been a bid of £500 outside the forum.Link to the thread from the time bike was stolen... https://www.themotorbikeforum.co.uk/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=61888 Quote
