expecting my new bike on saturday.

As my title says.. my new bike should be coming on saturday.
its a Honda NSR 125, i have heard good and bad things about it mostly from this forum.
but in the end i thought its the best and just found a good deal.
its a 2002 reg done 11000kms and is going to cost me 1300 including delivery.
i have recieved several photos of the bike and i cant spot anything negative out. photos will follow this afternoon.
Im quite happy with my deal, its just had MOT last monday and TAX runs mid feb but not too bothered.

So what should i be looking out for on saturday when the bike comes?
any bad exhaust sound or maybe oil in the bike?

thanks Ray

I had an nsr 125 for about 3 years was a good bike racked up 15k on it and never had a problem, they are well made and look the nuts, when its not running looks like a small cbr, make sure all the electrics work cos I heard they can have a few faults in that department

Seen as you are going for TPO, make sure you get a top quality lock

If your gonna buy chain, get an Almax chain and lock, Oxford and Abus can be cut with bolt croppers.

wow 120 quid.. i suppose its worth is if its gonna secure a 1300 bike.

They are great, just not as great as the aprillia RS125, so any negative reviews would compare it to that which is a no contest

i see. i was considering a aprilia, but quite a lot of people already has it and they have problems so i thought it will be wise to go for something else.
