And here is a review:
http://www.motorcyclenews.com/MCN/b...Sachs/Sachs-XTC125--1999--current/?&R=EPI-495

It seems like a good bike, but the 4 stroke models are few and far between, on the used market. It does have a massive range of 285 miles though and 15bhp.

I suffered a 4 stroke 125 for two years, it was the size of a 250 and slooooooow.

My mate had a Yammy TZ125, which i borrowed on a daily basis to get my speed kicks

Got a call from the insurance company today - the berk who knocked me off in November has finally admitted liability and an inspector is going to come soon. Depending on what happens...

1) Streetfighter the Fazer
2) Fix the Fazer up cheap, pocket change
3) Aprilia Falco
4) Triumph Speed Triple

hmm... decisions

He never mentioned Tuono's. I have quoted the correct message posted.

A spot of touring and a fair amount of long journeys are on the cards, it's the only transport my girlfriend and I have. That's why a Tuono's not on the cards - plus I could only afford one of the horrendous looking first generation, sadly I love the new ones, not a big fan of the older ones.

That's the main thing putting me off fightering the Fazer 1000 as well, and the Speed Triple. I dunno how the triple would be with a flyscreen...

I reckon I'll end up either fixing the Fazer, buying another, or getting a Falco or similar. Maybe a Triumph Sprint...

Master Skooter · 23 Jun 2009 at 16:16

My Falco has a double bubble and i hardly have to tuck for protection.

Only trouble with that it is all I can hear in that still air is the K&N sucking in oodles of air

Sluuuuuuuuuuuuurp!

Snaggle · 23 Jun 2009 at 16:25

The Tuono is fine and cruises at 90 np with the higher screen .. And 06 plates can be had for 4k now (new shape)

I do like the falco though as long as its the new one .

RoysonBobson · 23 Jun 2009 at 16:59

Fireskull · 23 Jun 2009 at 17:11

You dont need nowhere near knee down to loose your chicken strips

And also gives you less margin of recovery if it all goes hayward mid corner.
