Great video, very helpful! I'm looking to get a brand new one in the coming months and it's certainly helped. The only thing I'm a bit weary of is the colder months and storing it outside as it's my only option. Do you have any suggestions how to keep it as pristine as possible without rusting or any weather damage to it whilst its sitting out? I do only plan to have it for the duration of cbt so 2 years which in that time will it rust over enough to be difficult to sell? Thanks again

@GillyBikes

Жыл бұрын

If you’re leaving it outside you will need a good cover. 125cc bikes always sell well on the used market so I wouldn’t worry about that. Rust is always a worry when leaving bikes outside. To prevent it as much as you can you need to keep it clean and cover it when it’s dry and not already soaked. It is very difficult to prevent the rust from coming though.

The feedback I’ve seen on here suggest it’s ok.

My mum's got one of these. Went touring in Wales last year. I found that the wind screen actually made wind worse. Above about 40mph it creates a LOT of buffetting, to the point where I'm more comfortable doing my usual bits of light speeding on my naked 650 than I was doing 50mph on mum's Keeway. Took it off - much better. Instead of wind buffetting shaking my head about and adding noise - nice clean air. Y'all should try it, see how much difference it makes. Perhaps there's a market for Superlight screens that don't buffett?

Pretty awful. Footboards make no sense on a short distance bike. Feet forward is awkward at low speed for your cbt and mod1. Extra weight dents performance. Expensive as well and often the chrome is bad due to neglect. I get the styling thing, but 125 is a stepping stone to a more practical bigger machine. Don’t waste your money get a cheap basic 125 and spend money on gear, security and training. Sell it for what you paid for it.

@GillyBikes

Actually that is a really good point and i did forget about that. There are much easier bikes for a CBT. Personally I like the foot forward position but I’ve been riding for years. I know it’s not for everyone. I guess it comes down to if the 125 is a stepping stone to bigger bike there are other bikes available that could be easier. But Some 17 year olds ride until they pass their car test and some older ones just want a 125 because they are lighter and cheap to run and for them I do think it would be a good choice. I really do like the style and have done for years.
