its quite heavy for a 50cc (130kg)

Blimey, my 350 is 149kg :o, usually with a good yank on the handles you can get it on the stand :P

When are you looking to buy one for her? I am putting my Yamaha YBR 125 up for sale as I am getting a vespa for the summer Something I have wanted to do for a while and thought I would do it this year.

If you want pictures I can do some Pictures.

Its a 2005 under 10k on the clock. Tyres are ok there is a sakura? on the front these are the stock tyres they put on these, rear is a michelin city pilot, sprockets fine, just put a new chain on week before last. Fork seals will need doing for MOT which is due in July. Just taxed it for another year.

Has been used all year round for the last year and a half I have owned it so does have some light rust and marks as you would expect. One small scratch on the tank (something fell against it in my mates van not long after I bought it) could probably be touched up if it bothers you.

Rear light needs slight attention, since the bulb blew I put a new one in and whilst the brake light works fine the main tail light is temperamental. I think its probably a connection in the tail light as if you hold the bulb in or push it slightly at an angle the tail light and the brake light operate normally.

Never been dropped. 2 keys, owners manual, some other paperwork, letter from yamaha when it was bought.

Around £8 or £9 quid fills it up and you can get close to 200 miles off that depending on how you ride it. Its 4 stroke to so you don't have to top up the oil that often.

Nice bike I have probably made it sound worse than it is. I just fancy a change for the summer and will probably get another when the weather turns sour if I don't give in and buy a car. I would keep it but I can't afford to have 2 vehicles at the moment.

I think I paid £1200 for it in October 2007.

I'm not far from you either. Northampton. Price is £800.

Have a look at the new cbf 125 cheap as chips better than the cg 125 i had 3 off them , but any 2 stroke 125 will leave this in a cloud off smoke before you get in 2nd gear, but if you want a bike that is easy to ride nice looking cheap to service and run ,2years waranty free break down cover for a year, paid £1750 for mine.
