Hi, I'm Toby from London, UK. Always dreamed of getting a bike and finally have now - I turn 30 this year so maybe it's a "cusp of 30" crisis! Really loving it so far and the YBR125 is great for what I need, getting around London and occasional escapes into the country. I cannot believe how economical it has been. Just as a quick guide useful to anyone looking to budget for one, here is everything I have spent... £1,200 - Silver YBR125 2007 in great condition with 5000 miles on the clock, bought off Piston Heads for £500 - Helmet, leathers, gloves, hi-vis jacket, all bought at Infinity Motorcycles in London £180 - RAC Insurance, TPFT (third party fire and theft) £30 - MOT £16 - Tax I also bought a beautiful big top box on eBay for £45 and a whole set of soft luggage (tank bag, panniers, rack bag) for £109, also via eBay. Really good quality. And most insane, is that filling up the tank costs about £10-12 (about $16) and that takes it almost 200miles! No London congestion charge! Parking is easy and often free! Really pleased with it all so far, but I'm sure I'll post an update on progress soon. Love this site, looks like a great community.
