highly doubt theyre street legal..


only meant for a doss anyway, I'd say they'd be in bits in <1000 miles of actual use

get yourself a second hand jap bike (honda, suzi, kwack, yam) imo - nsr80/125, xr125, bros, dt125 etc etc. Admittedly they'll cost more in the beginning, but at least you'll make something back when you go to sell, unlike the chinese muck that'll melt the first time you forget to put a cover on...

Not road legal due to havin no lights and since they are only ment for off road use they have d different VAT duty. It is possible to make them road legal by adding lights and mirrors and road tyres but you would also have to reg it for road use which means getting it certifed and paying tax on it.

how much would the lights and tax an all this cost?
i really like the way they look.
always wanted a bike an ima have my test end of december an im planing on buying one.
Do u have any sugestions for any i could buy not too expencive maby one that looks a bit like a dirt bike?
would apreciate!

You should e-mail d company and ask if they do a road legal version. Lights wouldnt be that much to buy M&P.co.uk do everything u would need to get it ready for the road(lights and mirrors) i don't know who you would go to, to get it certed for road use. Most of the bike manufactures do trials bikes that are road legal. What size engine you lookin for?

alex020291

max 125 cc cos i won't b allowed with more on a learners license.

Red Hornet

Do you have an A or A1 licence?

alex020291

im gon have my test in a week so that would be an A1 from what i know. passing is not a problem

Have you looked at the Yamaha DT125. Honda do a 125 trials/road bike too?

alex020291

Yamaha DT125 looks sweet? wats the prices on that? street legal right?

Red Hornet

Yamaha DT125 costs E4678. Road Legal. You would find a good second hand one if you don't wanna spend that much.
