Found a bike at last!

[Milliways]

I have found a bike at last and am viewing it tomorrow but being a novice : i'm not sure on wot to look for, as in rust or the chain? so any advice would be great! Also how much should i be looking to pay for it? Its a 2002 honda City fly 125, with 14k miles. Also any advice on that would be an awesome help!!

Thanks all.
Hope to see on you the road soon!

The City Fly is a fantastic little bike, bit of a trailie,robust enough for a little light laning,but comfy and totally reliable for daily commuting.
It's a Honda mate...... enough said. 8-) 8-) 8-)
I'm glad you've gone away from buying that Chinese crap,

It's simple. You don't want rust but do want a chain.
Hope that helps ;D Go on mcn, ride or bike websites. They will have a check list. There are hundreds out there so don't rush into it.

I just bought it! it was advertised at £995 but i managed to get it for £770.
I all looks pretty good apart from 1 of the indicators had been glued on lol and a flat battery!... but it works and thats the main thing... the engine sounds good, no rattles or anything like that. i have the batt on charge now and now need to get some L plates and some insurance hehe

10k!!!! OMG I have a Lancia delta integrale Evoluzione and i got quoted 2k insurance when i bought it! i nearly had a heart attack, but 10k is an outrageous amount!! I am chuffed with the £150 a year insurance for my little 125 ;D

yh its good eh?
That quote was with me being 19 though... so it'll be much less for you as you're not a "youth" who is inevitably going to go around everywhere as fast as humanly possible and crash into everything... or so i'm told...
