Are they on sale somewhere at nearly £4K then? I’d be in at that, would sell the C125 Supercub to part fund it.

They’re £4600 ish
Yes that’s what I thought, sub £4K would be not far off the expected list price, if they ever make it to these shores officially.
My Pal has just this week taken delivery, he imported his direct from the far east which Im guessing is what’s happened above.

They cost about 1800-1900ukp in Thailand and a slow seler there due to the price. You can get a Honda 125Wave or a 125 supercub for around 1000-1200UKP there brand new. Ive ofter thought it would be good to bring a container load of them in but i dont know enough about import tax, registrations costs etc and more importantly I cant be bothered as finished work now......
It would be fun to buy and ride one home from Thailand.
However with all the hassle relating to covid it's a non starter for a while?

I was thinking to buy one when I go back for a trip to Cambodia and Laos but no sign of either accepting tourists and Thailand possibly going into lockdown too.
I know a guy in Chiang Mai who has one and he loves it.

Could your friend buy one and send it here?

I'm not sure how to go about it but most likely yes. I know you can't send anything into Thailand new or used anymore that foors been locked.
I'm with you on that.
If they were £2k like the Benelli 125 I'd buy one for fun but £4,600? I couldn't bring myself to do that.
I believe that some versions also had a dual ratio set up with two rear sprokets and some sort of change over mechanism.

Probably best watched with the sound off to avoid the annoying commentary

Saw a beige one trundle past on the greenlane the other day - Tiny
Watched it yesterday evening… great fun. Bruce, he’s fine, just a bit repetitive. At least he’s “current” and not patronising unlike TMF, with his “Hey Kids !!!”

He has obviously dropped the "hey kids" probably on "advice" from some of his audience........it seems to be "hi or hey folks now"
