“OWNED 3 YEARS - REALLY HAPPY - VERY ECONOMIC (£15 200...”

★★★★★

written by flowerman999 on 06/03/2012

I BOUGHT THIS 2006 XR-125 L6 FROM A HONDA DEALER FOR £1600 AND I NEVER HAD A SINGLE PROBLEM WITH IT. ON THE OTHER HAND MY DADS PIAGGIO NRG HAD 1 PROBLEM EVERY MONTH. IN THE END HE GOT RID OF THE PIAGGIO AND BOUGHT A HONDA NOW HE IS SO HAPPY. I BOUGHT A VERY LARGE 65 LITRE BACK BOX AND FITTED IT TO THE BACK AND I CAN CARRY ABOUT 5 SHOPPING BAGS INSIDE IT. REALLY GOOD BIKE, HANDLES DIRT, WATER, MUDDY, GRASS.

POSITIVES:
VERY ROBUST ENGINE SUMMER OR WINTER
VERY LARGE TIRES
VERY VERY VERY COMFORTABLE BOUNCY BIKE
QUITE SPEEDY ACCELERATION
SILENT EXHAUST
200MILES FOR £15 (£1.39/LITRE)

NEGATIVES:
NOT ENOUGH TOP SPEED - MAX 55 MPH ON FLAT ROAD

Honda has the rep. I own and have owned a number of Hondas, and they are good bikes, well renigeeend, well-made, durable and sensible to work on. But right now, most of my bikes are dirt bikes or dual sports, and I find that most of them are Suzukis. I didn't set out with the idea that Suzukis are better, it just turns out that they build bikes that suit my needs. They are also durable, well-finished and easy to work on.As a long-time BMW rider, I used to consider their bikes the best on the planet, and I could make a convincing case. I no longer think that is true, however. BMW makes excellent bikes, but the rest of the field has caught up; BMW's current offerings are just expensive, without being any better.A company that builds very interesting, nicely-finished bikes is KTM. They haven't yet come up with the bike of my dreams, but they have come close. If they did, I probably could not afford it.
