So one of those gets less than a massive car with a huge metal box around you, loads of spec, loads of comfort, loads of safety equipment, saves you getting cold and wet and doesn't fall over when you stop...hmm, think I'll stick with a car.
100mpg isn't bad tbf, but is it worth the slowness of having a 125?? The only good thing about a bike that I can see is the power to weight ratio and the stupidly fast acceleration....which you don't get with a 125... When I was at college one of the other guys had a 125 (no idea what make etc lol, had no interest in it) and my Golf was faster!
