    If you love it, let it go. If it comes back to you, you've just high-sided!

    I ride a GN125, pal!

    Are all GN125 riders like that wancher - no. It's a decent bike for what it's designed for. I've done 12k in the last 12 months - sweet as. Cheap as chips - no cheaper! Riding full throttle at 100 kph= 100mpg, 80 kph=115mpg.
    Hey it's no fireball, but is that what you expect/
    I can park in a space that a G-String could fit - cheap, reliable, economical, slow, good handling, 350 km per tank - YES. As they say in Yorkshire - "You get owt for nowt". Your choice. Don't criticize something for not pretending what it's meant to be. Just ride on open roads with BIG hard shoulders.

    ummmm i purchased my gn for $2750 cold hard crispy cash, and sold it less than 10 weeks later for 1900 warm hooker money

    5 weeks after i purchased it the dealer said "well give you 1900 for it and well put ot on the floor for 1650"

    and that was in perfect condition with aftermarket bars and a oil/filter change and service
