General Comments

I bought my Yamaha SR125 bike with 24,500 miles on the clock for £350. It's in very good condition and although it has a few character flaws (not surprising for its age), it goes really well and feels like it will last forever! Parts are cheap if you shop around and a tank of petrol lasts forever.
I've so far had to replace the clutch (included in sale), exhaust due to a hole in it next to the bracket, and it every so often misses at high revs. On the odd occasion it also stalls when you pull to a stop, I put this all down to the carb needing cleaning out which I haven't had chance to do yet (bit scared!) and possibly the hole in the exhaust. All minor problems at the end of the day that can be fixed by cleaning and replacing bits here and there over time.
As per previous reviews top speed of my bike is 60-65mph, and 40mph uphill into wind - not bad for a 12 year old bike with 24,500 miles!
