  • Is anyone interested in a 125? Most probably for learning.

    Fortunately/unfortunately my mate has passed his full licence and is now looking to sell my bike that I leant him while I'm away. I was secretly hoping he'd hang onto it until I got back.

    He's probably going to trade it in, but in case he goes for a private sale I thought it was worth posting up here.

    Details:

    Derbi Mulhacean 125cc
    C.4k on the clock
    MOT/tax until Feb next year

    Before I gave it to my mate I put a new battery in and Lynx kindly cleaned the filter and replaced the coolant... he may have well done a couple of other things, but shamefully I was beyond hungover at the time. It ran well and has got my mate to/from Kingston to Notting Hill most days this summer. Since my mate has been using it he has done the following:

    • New Sprocket and chain
    • New throttle cable
    • New Clutch cable
    • New rear brake calliper
    • Serviced a couple of months back

    All in all I think it's a great learners bike. It's got a practical high riding position for the city and is pretty nippy. Also although it's obviously not a 'big' bike it looks bigger and more proportioned than most 125s.

    When I handed it over the main negative is that cosmetically the bike was a bit battered in places. I'm pretty sure most can be rectified, but if you're selling it within 6 months cause you've got your full licence you might not care that much.

    One thing to add is that if you buy it and still have it in June next year I'll buy it off you.
