slob · Guru

Ha ha good ones. Love the ones with a group of hoodies with their hands in their pants.

The average Dt 125 seller seems to be a complete spak tard. But they are entertaining.

My fave is some shagged chink bike advertised for more than a brand new one!!

Anything along the lines of how quick it is generally makes me swiftly click the back button..

Even if it is, there just isn't a need to say it as it makes it sound ragged and unloved - unless it's a race vehicle then that's an exception.

125cc thats how just like many other 125cc.s that are around the same bhp its more based on the cc than the bhp .

lets face it some 250cc bikes are slower than some 125cc but still you can not ride em on L.s just cus of the cc

2strokemx · Guru

This bike is sh*t, dont buy it.

Whenever i see this it kinda draws me away from that bike

Well no it has to be 14 bhp to be legal which every 125 will come under as stock. Apart from race version's ofc

The ktm 125 exc does not fall under this bhp restriction as stock/on the v5 so i'm thinking an insurance company wouldn't let you have it on a cbt confuse

insurance companys in most cases are clueless and ask for little proof of bhp when you get insured now I understand that insurance is invalid but who realy cares I bet 50% 125cc out there break the bhp limit and maybe yours also ?

2strokemx · Guru

Put a different exhaust on from stock and you brake the bloody bhp limit lol

Loads of my mates had exc's on cbts and are fine, still a lad i ride with whos still got his sixdays10 plate, been pulled of by police loads an its always fine, i want one myself, but 3k + on a bike that only has a kill switch puts me off

slob · Guru

LOL! I bet the rings are bedded in a treat, After his rings and piston were done he was probaly caught speeding on the road test.

His heat cycles will involve ragging the $hit out of it from freezing cold then repeat. Love these adverts!

slob · Guru

give me aring no text no less then 1100 as its worth much more and you wont be happy with response thnks.

Victor · Guru

Judging by the word "pistins" i assume he think it has more than one lmao

MDK · DTR Legend

oh crap no email contact I could have had so much fun with that .

2strokemx · Guru

sebamax2 · Guru

yep the exc is probably just like my aprilia was, i did ride it on the L plate untill i got my v5 in which stated 17kw in there, cbt its only 11kw so if thats on a v5 i imagine if a copper pulls you over and most likely all that info pops up on his screen

Luke · Guru

Cops don't usually know much about biker laws. I got pulled over and the officer kept asking "Have you completed your CBR?"

A thing I hate is, when they say it needs something simple repairing then it's good to go. Like the guy who hadn't put in a clutch spring or something like that a while ago and it was a five minute job. Just screams to me that the bikes had one problem after another and its annoyed him so much he doesn't even want to touch it.

Also people who say "yeah, bikes mint mate. Starts first time" then the day before picking it up "oh, it needs bump starting when cold or it won't start, carb needs cleaning or something mate" ..... My response is "nah don't want it then mate bye."

Another thing that annoys me is "deposit of £50 before hand" I just laugh at them and say "no way, stick it." I ain't paying no deposit, then travelling to their houses to see it's a bag of nails with a worn out engine. And then they just say "deposit isn't refundable."

Looks a good buy though seeing you only have to strip it down and paint it for a minter.
