Reply To: 20 year old GV 250
OK, well, I think I have another prospect to go and look at, it’s a GV125 though.
The bike is a 2004 carburettor model, ridden 14k km, and it’s been parked in a barn for 11 years. asking price is around €600, owner has no idea if it starts or not.
I wonder – I’m doing my A2 licence and had really been thinking about a 250 (hyosung, kymco venox or a virago) but perhaps as a 60 year old beginner the 125 would indeed be a reasonable option as previous replies to this thread would suggest. I weigh about 95 kilos but might be able to get this down 😅.
I was wondering of course if people here had any thoughts? I realise that I’ll need to replace the fluids, tyres, battery…
With thanks in advance

Edited to add what kind of mpg could I expect from the 125, would it be less than the 250?
