my gilera 125 was a pretty robust commuter, it took a whole load of abuse really, you will want to swap the standard exhaust though, they dont last long in the winter

Had a few 125's in the dealer's other,did'nt glance to much when closer,as 1st thing i clocked was price - probs.due to clocking a couple of black/white Zip 50's at £1299.00.:(.
