Missed a trick guys , should have included the Zontes ZT125 U1. Had mine 4 weeks now , done 100 miles (partly due to weather) but it's brilliant...... and for £3100 on the road , amazing value. Bought it after viewing Mark Pulling's KZbin review - check that out. The finish is top rate , Bosch ABS and fueling , smooth gearbox and NO vibrations ! Keyless , I could go on. I live in Southampton and the local dealer is Dearden's at Holbury. Check them out and mention my name , speak to Julie or Nigel. Top 125 bike , just not really out there yet , although plenty sold apparently. Hope this helps.
