That XT looks like a good deal.
I had an XT660X and a few mates have had the 125s, sound bikes. Finish on the engine on mine was a bit dodgy but I whipped it out and repainted it easy enough.
If you are stuck to 125, try and not look at it as being stuck. I owned the XT660 then a 500 Enfield, shared a 1200 BMW then owned an 883 Sportster and I'm now on a 250 Superdream and really enjoying being back on a smaller bike.
Insurance costs are
much betterfinally bearable and the bike cost me less than my fixie did so if it has to sit out in the rain, who cares? If I drop it, meh, I'll fix it.
