advice needed for a newbie, swap or not to swap

[grene-knyght]

Probably a good time to sell your 125 now, and you will get more for it privately. There are a lot of 600cc bikes out there in that price range so maybe advertise yours and have a good look around? A swap sounds convenient, but like the others say- i would expect a bit of cash to sweeten the deal.

I'd hold on to your 125. The Divvy isn't worth that.

swop with cash but personally i would keep the 125.

Hi all, can anyone give me a bit of advice, I am new here on this site and to Biking, done cbt 2 years ago and how I have done the full licence (thanks to Mark Able and his team), I am now wanting to step up to a bigger bike (but dont need to), i ride in all weather to work and try to get a bit in for fun as well I have see a yamaha xj600 diversion on a 1996 plate with 14000 on the clock, they have offered a straight swap for my 12 plate YBR, i have no spare cash at the momant so this is the only way i have to get a bigger bike now, or should i wait and keep my YBR for a year or 2 more and save up, any feed back on the xj or keeping YBR would be good
thanks Gareth.

If you are seriously thinking of getting a bigger bike Ebay is quite a good place to see the sort of prices bikes are selling for now it'll at least give you an idea of what you can expect. I reckon the Divvy owner would get a good deal
