Honda XR125L

I have a Honda XR 125 since 06 - - - I'm nearly 50 and wanted something (instead of the car) to get around town. Its fab, fun to drive and surprisingly comfortable.

Easy to drive/balance, reliable, cheap to run etc - i can heartily recommend it.

My Honda XR125L cost £1220, for a bike with just 1874 miles on the clock, a fantastic price. Having moved onto this from a battered, 18 year old CG125 that topped out at 40, the speed (extra 10-15 mph really does make a difference) comfort, handling and road presence were simply outstanding,. This machine most definitely has the feel and road presence of a bigger bike, and the tyres have a fantastic grip on most surfaces, potholes that would have sent the cg125 all over the place simply melt underneath you.I've also found myself receiving much more nods and acknowlegdement from other bikers too!I would highly recommend this bike, especially if you live in a town, want a bike that you can pass your test on and still have a laugh and for a good price, this is well worth looking into.

I've had the bike nearly a year and it's brilliant with its long suspension and good brakes (as I carry a lot of weight in a back pack and back box). It is better than my CBR125 and a lot better than the gutless NRG 50. It still has good acceleration under weight, I've still beat people in races on the same bike even when I had a heavy load. A very simple, impressive bike for under £2000.

The Honda XR125L is a good buy.
