ill swap my offroad set up for your supermoto set up? can arrange some sort of deal? and can swap all the parts over for you if you like.

got this today its a 2007 DTR125 done around 8500k Need plans on what to do with it now, i want to tidy it up a bit as its not in the best condition. Going to remove the stickers cos im not a fan. Any ideas/help/tips let me know

im from leeds aswell! looking for a dt125. You didn't happen to be at motosave today near ellen road? saw a t reg DT there earlier on.

Oops, dint meen to post that 2ce, stupid phone. Hopefully ill still find an alrite dt. Along as its not too old it will do for me.

Measaged the guy and he's not even in Leeds, god knows why its on Leeds.gumtree. Decided I'm not spending over 1k. Don't mind if it needs a new piston if I get it for a good price, as I can do it while I'm saving up for insurance.

Just seen this, its not exactly what I was after, but it seems quite cheap, and is near to me, so i can go have a look. Also if i got it now ive got a bit of time to get it running a bit better untill summer. Anything i need to know about that years model? Is it worth just holding out and waiting for a newer one? http://leeds.gumtree.com/leeds/16/69991316.html

haha i dont want to fuck it!! But ill give it ago Need to start renting myself out haha, apprentice wage is poor for saving up for this bike.

my boss went. Hes been the past few times, and said hes never going again, apparently this year wasn't very good. Just to make you feel a bit better

Right, ive got my heart set on a DT125, really would like the super moto version but ill have to see what comes up really. Started saving now, and as soon as the snows cleared im going get selling the massive collection of mini parts i have laying about which should bring me close to being able to afford it. Anyone got anymore info on DT125's then, different specs/models/changes over the years, would like to get as much info about them really. Found out the hard way that mini one/cooper gearboxes are SHIT, and after my gearbox breaking for the second time just decided to shell out to buy a cooper s gearbox and some bits and bobs to make it fit. Don't want this to happen with the bike. Although top end rebuilds aren't really a problem if the parts aren't too dear as the guys at work are all bikers so they can do it for me This is what made me want a bike: guy at works Z1000, sounds much nicer than this in person.

Seems like the dt is the best option for me then. Is the only differece with the sm one the tyres? Or is it the wheels aswell, or more? Also are there different models of it? Sorry for all the stupid questions haha.

Sorry didn't make it clear its a basterd trying to type and think when I'm on my phone haha. After looking at a few "sports bikes" I thought they looked abit stupid with tiny engines. Plus I'm 6ft2 so not exactly short. I'm not really into the drag/cruiser type, prefer more modern style. So think crosser is the best option, plus it won't look as bad with scratches from when I fall off as it kind of suits them haha.

Thanks for all the replies, seems like this is like the mini forum I use which is good. Forgot to mention I'm only looking to spend about £1k and I'm after a sports bike/crossed. Nope not selling my mini, still want it for keeping warm and being comphy.

I'm new here, just had a quick look around and decided to join to get some info before i go ahead and buy a bike. I drive a mini at the moment: But i'm after a bike as well so i don't end up spending all my money on my car Plus something to get to work on that doesn't use as much fuel and will be fun in the summer. Been sent in the direction of a DT125 SM, but i really don't no anything about them. Any info would be great, things to look out for etc. Not looking to get a bike license for the moment so just a 125 i can run with a provisional.
