Looking for a 125cc road registered trail/enduro bike
Permalink  

LookIng for a bike for my girlfriends 17 year old lad. He has a nice 50cc Speedfight at the moment but wants to try is hand on the Devon green lanes. He does a few miles commuting each day so a 2 stroke or 4 stroke would be equally fine. DT125R sounds like fun, but I'd consider an XR125 or something like that too. Budget upto £1200ish. Anyone got one or know of one?? (have thoughts on an xr in Plymouth right now, just seeing what else is around). Ta Mark

There's plenty of youngsters who have had mucho fun on xr's and xl's etc. spoke to him today and explained the differences and he seems to be happy with a 4 stroke plodder. Remember it has to be reliable for his 1m commute to work and 1.1m commute to college.
Don't think I would get a ktm125 or husq as they are clearly well above the legal bhp level and asking for trouble. A destricted DT you could get away with but they demand a high price for quite old bikes.

So it sounds like an 4T little plodder. (I do remember Lorn used to do tally ho etc etc and got up there just fine - she wasnt fast but dont think that was a fault of the bike).

Looked at an XR on Wednesday evening - made an offer tonight pending a few things. But if something else comes along.......
