    well well well..

    dont you think these bikes look pretty stunning one caught my eye earlier and i think i might just have to get one in replacement of the rox, considering ive only got 4 weeks till i could legally ride one i think its time to sell up and find a decent one for about 1500 to 2k. what are the bikes like if you know? im into supermotos as it is and also two strokes so quite a good combination if u ask me..

    any good reviews?

    its by far the best value for money out of all the geared 125s on the market today, a fair power output coupled with good looks and yamaha's reliability makes it awesome.

    gotta make sure its warmed up before use, use only the best 2 stroke oil ou can affoard (comp 2 plus i reccomend) and keep ontop of servicing, they are quite heavy on gearbox oil, i would replace every 500-1000 miles depending on how bad the oil looks.

    mine had a two year warranty so i ragged the absolute fuck out of it and generally abused it (used semi synth' oil too), i had it for 7000+ miles and the only thing that went wrong was the clutch cable snapped, it ran just as well the day i sold it as the day i bought it, most reliable engine iv had :cool: (06' DTX)
