2005 Honda VT 125 C-4 Shadow Black (125cc learner legal, low mileage)

Description

I?ˆ™ve owned this bike for five years. using it regularly for my commute to work. and it has been very reliable. Perfect as a learner bike or winter commuter. It?ˆ™s really comfortable and looks and rides like a much bigger bike ?ˆ“ people are always surprised to find out it?ˆ™s a 125! I finally got around to upgrading to a bigger bike earlier this year. so unfortunately it?ˆ™s time to sell. If you have any questions. would like to see any other photos. or would like to arrange a viewing. please send me a message.

9678 miles. Just under 4 months MOT remaining. Tax is only £17. 70-80mpg. Serviced annually regardless of mileage (receipts to confirm). Both original sets of keys. original user manual and tool kit.

Engine: stands up to the Honda reputation of reliability. Always starts first time. and rarely needs the choke. Battery is 3 years old. Exhaust was replaced 18 months ago. polishes up nicely.

Chain & sprockets: less than a year old. only done 700 miles.

Tyres: 2mm tread left on front tyre. 5mm on rear.

Brakes: the front pads have a bit of life left in them. I?ˆ™ve been advised to replace the rear brake shoe when the rear tyre is next done.

General condition: the bike has been ridden all year round. and this is reflected in the general cosmetic condition. I have been as thorough as I can with the description and photos:

Some areas are showing surface corrosion. particularly the swingarm and rear shock absorbers. and the paint on the engine casings has peeled/flaked off in some places. The bike has also been dropped a couple of times. with some surface damage/scratches to the fuel tank. mirrors. brake reservoir. front fender/mudguard. and rear indicators. There is a small paint chip (5mm) on one side of the fuel tank. and there is an area of dull paint next to it where the bike cover has been rubbing. There is a small tear (15mm) in the seat ?ˆ“ this happened a couple of years ago and hasn?ˆ™t become any bigger since.

This may be a long list. but be assured that the bike is solid and robust. and rides perfectly well.

The necessary bits:
