Looking to buy a 125cc Motorbike? Here are a few pointers to help you make the right decision and hopefully will save you both time and money.

If you are on a tight budget why not visit UKs biggest online auction? You will find many listings of new and used 125cc Motorbikes for sale on Ebay and many more by also searching for 125cc Motorcycles. The motorbike you’re drooling over but can’t afford might just be on Ebay and within your budget
If you do decide to buy from a dealer find out what offers they have – the cheap 125cc motorcycles on show might not be the best deal available.
Remember you still need to get motorbike insurance cover and it just might be that the motorcycle you’d like (your first choice) is out of your budget but the dealer is offering free insurance for a year and perhaps even a zero percent finance deal to help you spread the payments at no extra cost
Nothing is written in stone, if you are prepared to haggle over the price you might just get the deal you want. You might not get a further reduction on the price of the motorcycle but the dealer may offer you a really good discount on motorcycle gear such as helmet, boots, gloves and motorcycle leathers.
If you are a new biker then do your research on the internet, don’t expect dealers to always be 100% upfront with you, they’ll tell you whats good about a particular motorcycle but may choose to leave out the bad. They are not being dishonest with you, they are salesmen – they are there to sell bikes and make money. You’ll find motorcycle review sites and motorbike forums that will steer you in the right direction and will give their unbiased opinions on which 125cc motorbike they consider to be a good buy and why?
One more thing, if the motorbike has had a previous owner, and you are relatively inexperienced you should consider bringing someone with you who atleast has some knowledge, can look over the bike and test ride it for you.
Finally, some important tips and things you need to consider when buying a used 125cc motorbike from a private owner
1 – Always check the market value, if its offered at what seems to be a fantastic bargain, asks yourself why
2 – What is the condition of the bike and is this reflected in the mileage
3 – Does the motorcycle have a valid MOT certificate
4 – Meet the owner at his home address (not some car park) and ask to see ownership details and a service history
