A friend has an XR125 which he has been threatening to sell for a couple of years. He got it and put it on the road last year for a family member who lost interest in bikes. Late nineties I think, if that is of interest I will ask him.

I did consider it for myself after last years Matlock but glad I didn't buy it as it would be just another bike not being ridden. :D

It's a 2004 XR125L. MOT until Nov 19, 13,500 miles. Starts on the button.

Stuart is not a small bike person and recommissioned it last year then used it for about 300 miles while he was rebuilding his NX650 Dominator. It's had new pads and chain. He's a bit on the fastidious side (a quick look around his other bikes shows this) so is keen to point out it's shortcomings.

The clutch works fine but judders slightly so ideally could do with new plates. No problems at all with gear selection or changing.
Exhaust has been welded and could be tidied up or replaced but no leaks or signs of needing attention.

Couple of pics, if interested please PM me for his contact details, I also have a few more pics. Not put a price on as this is not strictly a for sale post. I will put it up in the for sale section with a price if not interested. Bike is in Essex, not far from Southend.

Xr125l are great little bikes, I'm after one when I have funds, keep a eye on the oil, as I have 3 xr125l engines sitting here
Two have snapped conrods due to oul issues,
But the xr conrod is a lot thinner than the old early CGs
