Cheap as Chips

[SOLID]

Countless times I have read a thread of a fellow rider with a tiny budget willing to die to own a motorcycle but doesn't have the funds. Always shunted to the FS thread and directed by the bunky brigade while someone screams out "by a CT110". Often someone would suggest saving up a little more and spend the 4k for a cbr125, which I did while at uni and lets just say I ate a lot of mi goreng noodles for a while.

Now to end my rambling it seems Honda has heard the cries (possibly from the poor diet ) of the poverty stricken and decided to release the CB125E which will cost you $1990.





The rest of the article here 2012 Honda CB125E - Motorbikes Reviews, News & Advice - bikepoint.com.au

Set to go on sale in early 2012, the naked CB125E will become the 12th entry in Honda’s learner-approved motorcycle and scooter range, and retail for just $1990.

At that price point you won’t get the world, but there’s more than enough for the short commute: a 124cc air-cooled, single-cylinder engine engine, twin rear shocks, a drum rear brake, a low seat height and electric start.

And if the CB125E is like any of its small-bore, four-stroke predecessors, including the original CB125, it will put up with being shamelessly mistreated and still produce some first-rate fuel consumption figures.

The CB125E will be available in three colours: red, white and blue.

Probably wont set the world on fire but for that price who cares.

Edit just saw the other thread for it Honda introducing $1990 CB125 next month

Your thread is better, it has pictures.

These are third world bikes but at that price will probably translate well. It's a pity you will probably be able to ride them on your car lic, some road craft lessons would go well for prospective owners.
