In the Market for a 125, Help please!

Hi Guys,

I am after a 125 to commute to work mainly around 6 miles and the odd trip to the in laws who live within 10.

What are peoples thoughts on what to get? I was really wanting a Honda PCX but it's a little pricey.

Budget is more £1500 give or take.

Does anyone have any thoughts on the WK Wasp 125? or any others.

Thanks.

Thanks for that.

I'd really like a PCX but the price is putting me off hence mentioning the WK Wasp which is £1099 new!

Flash - there is currently two pcx's being sold on bike trader by the same owner for under £1500 - both one owner and low milage - be worth travelling for one of those

If you are prepared to travel there are many 125's of good quality for sale - always try for a private sale preferably one owner with service history

Not for slagging off any bike,treated fairly or maintained right (being fully realistic on what you have)- any can last well,
£1099 new for a reason,may end up regretting in the long run,rather than hold out an be patient an do it right..
MR.^^ has a very good point if you think about it,only has too be done once.

Cheers lads for the advice, going to get a Honda going to go with head AND heart

THE HONDA MODE IS ABOUT £2000 NEW NOT A BAD SCOOTER

Looks decent that but you sure it's a Honda mode?

I just looked at the Mode and it don't look like that plus it's £2,500 new.

YOU MAY WELL BE RIGHT, THIS IS MY MODE 1000 MILES 65 PLATE£1700 IF YOUR INTRESTED

It looks tidy that pal, I'll have a think why you selling it?

late august im off to Canada till Christmas to stay with my son ,so rather than leave it in the garage till easter, I thought it would be better for some one else to have the use of it over the summer

That'$ a Piaggio dude.,).

I don't know what a 'Wasp' is, but it sounds awful! And the price is too!
Stay clear of anything cheap for starters! People love cheap stuff, but not so much when they're seen on a daily basis pushing them along pavements, when they could have got a decent second hand Piaggio / Honda for the same money

Good luck in your search

Yes! The amount of ads which state 'just stopped one day, might be an easy fix' is unreal!
And they're that new they aren't even due their first MOT yet!
