Dae Posted February 20 Share Posted February 20 Hello friends, I've passed my CBT last week and I am looking to buy a motorbike. I am looking at the yamaha yzf r125 2023 model around 4000GBP that has only been ridden for about a mile thus practically new. It's in my budget, but the question is should I buy it and is it wise? I love the looks, the style, one of the top 125cc bike models. Please let me know what you guys think. Thanks a lot! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KiwiBob Posted February 20 Share Posted February 20 If you can afford it and its what you want then go for it! .. Look after it and don't wreck it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Davey Posted February 20 Share Posted February 20 Congratulations on passing your CBT. As said, can't go wrong with the Yamaha, or any well known Japanese bike. I would spend a lot less money, and spend more on a bigger machine when qualified. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There’s no worse feeling seeing the bike you actually want whilst riding one you don’t. Enjoy!! Edited February 20 by Joe85 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RideWithStyles Posted February 20 Share Posted February 20 (edited) well done. depends... if your having to sit on it for years at a time, budget / money to pay, service it, insurance (have u checked?) etc then why not? pcp or out right? if im being sensible - your iffy or clumsy then personally i'd go for one that is a couple of years old at lowish miles...then if you drop it, it's not soul destroying and budget for repairs is there and better riding gear...have you budget for that yet? the yamaha is a good trusted brand. whats your height and weight? just make sure that bike is the correct size for you! otherwise it's going to be a hurtful, hateful and expensive experience. Ask interference fit what's that like!! Edited February 20 by RideWithStyles 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blackholesun Posted February 21 Share Posted February 21 I’d go for a second hand Japanese bike for around a grand or so and use the other 3 for your das whenever you can 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
