...I think the honda cr 125 is the best motorcross bike out it has the top end speed and the middle range pull the motors are very well set up and are very reliable if i had the choice of any motor cycle this would be it.The only down part about the cr the some of the parts cost just a little bit more but trust me its worth it. Alot of my friends own cr 125's aswell as me and the think they are just as good as i do. If your looking to bu a motorcross bike DONT look no further the cr 125 is the bike for you... Read review

...I have just clocked up 1,000 k on my new Deauville. It's not perfect, but by comparison my previous bike - a 2002 VT750C cruiser - was just a bucket of bolts. Handling is good; brakes are OK and the optional large flip screen a must. I also put 50 mm bar risers for a more upright posture and a Xenon 55-60 watt bulb for better night illumination.

A friend of my Dad's had a mate that worked there repairing old Jame's motorcycles in the 50's.

WHAT DO THEY SELL The shop sells... Read review
