Good luck with your DT viewing. Dont know much about DTs, but i guess its like every bike. Fork seals, good running engine and box, rear shock, make sure theres no play in the bars, tyres, condition of the exhaust. Others on here will give you a better idea of any weaknesses of the DT.

danny4646 Posted August 24, 2008 Author Share Posted August 24, 2008 Are they bad or sommert? just wanted to go from a dealer, no offence to any one, but most 125's have been abuseed by teens, so wanted a decent one, with warranty etc, but aint getting it de-restricted there, as £300-£400 seems expensive lol, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
