DT125R FORUM

Those free checks are really helpfull, I have been looking at some of the history check sites and they seem to cost around £20, never knew the free ones existed.

Think I'm going to wait until i have 1300ish, difficult with how impatient I am but probably less stressfull in the long run when a lot more of the ones I see will be within my budget. Really itching to get one though.

Yeah I figured as much I've seen a couple of interesting bikes. A 1998 dtr for £600 that runs but sounds a bit fishy dont think it comes with v5 it looks in reasonable condition from the pics only thing missing i can see is indicators, and a 2001 dtr project that's completely stripped down and in bits for £375 but its nearly 300 miles away in scotland somewhere

I've been keeping tabs on the obvious places like ebay and gumtree for a dt 125, are there any other decent websites/sources for second hand bikes that are worth checking out? I have googled a bit, but a lot of the sites I've come across seem to be dead with 2+ year old ads.

Also looking for tips on things to avoid and any red flags when dealing with second hand bikes. Any and all help would be apreciated. I've got about £600 cash spare, and hoping to sell my ps4 with 9 games for £270 console and overwatch alone is worth that so I think I should get it fairly easily, so all in all £870 so far which from the prices I've seen won't get me anything that is get on and ride away kind of condition. Getting a rough figure in my head of what I should expect to pay for various condition DT's would be helpfull.

Say running but no mot needs a few odds and ends doing.

Non runner needs rebuilding, but rest in reasonable condition.

Complete shed non runner missing parts needs a lot of work.

Thanks in advance.

Hi all,

Don't have a DT yet but very much on the look out for one. Getting fed up of relying on a friend to give me a lift to work and paying £13 one way in a taxi if he's on holiday or takes a half day or whatever. More or less a straight road of 9 miles from my flat so to work would be a nice start to the day riding the journey. Hope I can get some tips on what to look out for how much I should expect to spend etc.

Wouldn't mind a bit of a banger that I could fix up if it would work out cheaper, I'm no mechanic but have always liked taking things apart/repairing things myself.
