Hey everyone,
I'm wanting to buy my first bike and I have a good idea of what I want, but I'm having some troubles. Not sure if I'm looking in the wrong places, but thats why I'm here!
I have a couple of bikes I'm looking for, either the Honda CB125 and the Yamaha rx125.
Where should I be looking? Are they around?
Also, are these good first bikes? OR are there some newer bikes just like these? I will be using it to just commute. Any advice would be great. Thanks all.
James.

StForget the classic dealers, they are unlikely to have one, and it is far from likely they would consider it a classic anyway!
Get on the phone and try the various Japanese wreckers around Melbourne, you may be able to find a project bike. Or, Just Bikes magazine or the good old Trading post.

Haha! Good point... Japanese wreckers is a good idea, but I would say I want something with minimal work...
Someone else suggested people who do complete rebuilds of old bikes like these, any ideas?
Thanks for everyones help so far :) |
