Experience may vary around the country, supply and demand and all that.
The 125 market bikes do hold there value well.
while having an indepth look about last year it dawned on me that if going Honda PCX/CG/CB good used ones with only a few thousand miles or in some cases 1-2 year old bikes with less than 1k mileage, they where mostly priced around £500-800 less than a new one which would have warranty and if buying outright the dealers would add incentives like screen and top box for a cash sale. Buying new made better sense as i intend to keep it (if i go that way)
Other pointers via forums for small capacity touring hinted at just getting a Chinese 125 (they are quite good these days) run it for 6 months do a few thousand miles then sell it on and effectively have a cheap rental.
Be wary of cheap 125's with many many owners :)
