The dragstar 125 is the lastest thing in 125cc's. Not only does it look great, u also can have one at the age of 17 as long as u have passed ur CBT (compulsory basic training). This training is priced between £70-£100. All that it means is that u can ride up to a 125cc with 'L' plates and a provisional licence! The dragstar 125 is priced between £3300-£3000 brand new, but i suggest that u look about for a second hand one as u can pick a 6 month old one up for under £2000 as the price of bikes quickly de-value. You can find second hand bikes in most bike shops but the magazine 'autotrader' make a 'bike trader' which is out every fortnight at the cost of £1.95 from most papershops!

If you thought a 125 had to be small, cramped and bland, take a look at a dragstar 125. featuring the classy low-and-long styling for which the dragstar line-up is famous, this lightweight cruiser gives u the comfort and ride quality of a full sized machine in a 125.

A good op but watch out for 'white space' at the bottom of the opinion. Steve
