General Comments

I passed my CBT in nov 2004 and a mate decided to sell me his Honda CA125 Rebel, I said ok - 800 notes as it was due its MOT which cost me £15, it passed with flying colours. Took 2 days to pluck up courage to ride it alone - went out and did 70 miles, you know to the petrol station and back that is 2 miles up the road - no probs - now this bike is 8 years old with 13500 on the clock i'm close to the max limit of weight the bike can take the 2nd venture I saw 70mph on the clock on a flat road - yes - only had to change the tyres on it, engine still standard nothing done at all on any bits and I hammer it - like all 125s it hates hills but on the flat it will run for what seems like ever - onle thing I have to say is it has 2 modes - if you open the throttle half way between gear changes - it will feel sluggish - but if you give it a good twist between gears the engine notes changes to where you would normally feel you would have to change gear but if you dont it has a whole different animal waiting on the higher revs - mine will easily skin any 125cc moped at the traffic lights GP as for recommending this machine -- my cousin has been asking me to sell it to him and he's passed his bike test - and fancies some fun on a 125- never had a problem and neither did the 2 previous owners - I still have all the reciepts.
