You can get a brand new one for £1349 (or less with some haggling)
I like that. Very pretty for a 125...

I was looking for a Honda scooter for a relation to start biking and although not a 125 the Vision 110 looks a good choice at £1800 rrp. Looking on-line there are many dealers selling off their pre registered models with no or little miles at only £1395. A great price for a brand new Honda.

Here is an example with only 6 delivery miles at £1395. http://www.autotrader.co.uk/classified/ ... code=ucbnp

the vision is nice but its the same problem i have already its only 110cc so wont be quick enough

i live in bromsgrove and will need to commute to kiddy or worcester somtimes

both roads to kiddy are nsl roads but no one goes that slow along them especaily at the times i will be on them

ive been overtaken at 60 before

worcester isnt much better as there are two hills i have to go up and the zip drops to about 30 mph up them had the same trouble with the honda lead i had

i know the 125's will slow a bit but still have enough power to get up them

Have you spotted this?

And this might help too:

I was looking at the X max and seems too cheap, tried number today does not exist, the piccys and background look vaguely familiar, i think its a con, maybe the 08720 number is an earner for someone ?
Just bikes for me, oh and the odd car

Buy a 250 then as 125's command a premium. MPG will be about the same.

The 0870 is kosher. From Autotrader website:

How to avoid canvassers
Telesafe is a system introduced by Auto Trader to block known canvassers. Tick the option when you sell a car

Why use Telesafe?
• By ticking the Telesafe box when placing an advert your ‘phone number will be replaced by a Telesafe number for no additional cost
• The system blocks known canvassers from contacting you
• Your advert can be removed by calling your own Telesafe number
• When the car is sold sellers can turn off their number and provide a message for potential buyers
• It protects you from posting your personal number on the internet

How much does Telesafe cost?
Telesafe is free to sellers. A small charge to buyers calling the number to cover costs.

A 0870 Telesafe number will be allocated to landline destination numbers and a 070 Telesafe number will be allocated to mobile destination numbers.

Pricing:
Number range Day Evening Weekend
087 5.67p 3.02p 0.93p
070 37.50p 25.00p 12.50p

Please note, you are not able to send text messages to a Telesafe number.

Honda FES125, 4 stroke engine, same engine as S-Wing125, I think the S-Wing is very good, mine does up to 68mph and over 100mpg. It feels bullet proof.
