I've probably missed the boat for the first batch of bikes, but really want one just can't decide on colour ? Who did you buy off ? The insurance isn't great on them £222 with no bonus and £750 access from MCE. Full bike test age 33.

Yeah all the NI Honda dealers got 1 for stock some got 2.

Honda never anticipated the demand for them and any ordered now will be delivered in October.

I'm dealing with Ballymena Honda as they're my local dealer.

I ordered yellow:

They have a yellow bike coming today or tomorrow, so they told me? That's still available ?

They're proper UK stock. First batch nearly gone, next one due in August or September, 99 deposit and 78 a month. I think. Price is 2600 which is in line with other Honda 125 range.

What colours did Ballymena have? Have you got a delivery date for yours yet??

Not sure mate.

I've been told October but it could arrive before then.

Shame it'll miss the summer (if we get one) but it's something to look forward to all the same!

Ballymena Honda, they are to call me when it came in, but I heard it's promised to 7 different customers ???

Called in this morning and they have a yellow one but it's being picked up today.

Got to sit on it though. Surprised how comfy it was for me being 6'2!

Yeah Joe actually called me to say it's still here this afternoon as the guy didn't go through with it.

Shame it's red or I'd have taken it :worried:

I might wait for a second hand one since so many people are rushing out to buy them as toys I'm sure a lot of people will get bored or sell on within a year

Think you'll be waiting a while, as their finance deal seems great. I would've thought most people will have have taken that option, even if they'd the money to buy outright...I'm tempted and don't need one whatsoever!!

It's the same price as any 125 and uses affordable running gear so it's not like they have put on an amazing deal, but yeah its a sweet bike and I want one just think that with so many selling new there will be second hand one soon

Lol yeah, I probably will end up financing one anyway so I can have more working capital in my bank for buying old heaps of bikes rather than blow it all at once buying a used msx
