So...
'Dobbin' will be 3 in November... Time for 1st MoT...
'15 Plate, from New, Purchased at 21st Moto in Swanley, Paid £3200
20k miles now - Gonna be 24k come November time...
600 mile dealer service then Home / Self Serviced - Oil at every 2500 miles / Air Filter / Belt etc. to book schedule...
No Troubles... No Issues...
But...
New '17 Updated, LED Lights / Key Card Ignition model are £3350
Nice to go new again - then keep for another 3 years?...
Cost of ownership is half balanced against cheap transport, and versus a train ticket at £2000 a year! - So almost disposable every 3 years!
What would be an acceptable PX Price / Cost to Change?
How far down would would you tolerate your pants being pulled down?
My Scoot + Half Price? or is that a little overoptimistic / wishful thinking on my part?
Stick or Twist?
Would welcome your thoughts...

Depends if you think its going to start costing..??? My 3rd sh125,was heading to 3 years old[18300 miles up]so p/x for my 4th sh125,but I kept seeing a red one near by,so that was it.
Have a look at dobies web-site,they have 4 in stock ,which are new but have been sitting there so they are selling them off cheaper.

21st Moto sadly offer poor PX in my book which is why they've never had my money in a purchase but their service department I can't fault.

Rock around a few dealerships remember 125cc prices have shot up so PX prices have risen accordingly but private sales are strong bit not necessarily selling.

I'm with you on loving a new bike but would another 12 months use/ wear tear going to lose you much more (and I think post brexit nothing will initially be cheaper)

You still thinking paul.?? Sat on a Honda sh 125 mode yesterday,that fills nice,less power but more torque,3500 revs less .Less weight by 30 kilos its just less of ever thing and the best less cost..££££
Try Honda Maidstone they have a per-reg. red one there.

Will be November time when the 3ys is up and the 0% finance paid...
Realisticaly ill keep what i've got for a year or 2...
Mode is single shock, air cooled and a bit budget for what i want / need..
Plus if you add the cost of the top box it aint a million miles away in £...

I tend to base the cost v's a near £2k train ticket, that way i can justify a bit more, and to the wife

I would.Lots of life left in it yet. I think you would be disappointed in a mode after owning the SH for 3 years, its a bit smaller and only has one budget shock.

Honda 125 mode is w/c same as the sh 125,bit less power but more [at lot less revs] torque .
