a great bike, not, however for beginners, the gearbox isn't as slick and precise as the one on my varadero i owned before, however the mx is a very rewarding bike to ride, keeps up with most 250's and will give any bike a good challenge on a twisty backroad. some small problems include the speedo, nice to look at but reads well out (sometimes as much as 10mph) and all the bulbs (dip/main beam, indicator, neutral, oil warning etc) blow on a regular basis, the oil bottle is also annoying to get to because an allen key is needed, and the correct size is locked underneath the other side panel, but don't let those small points put you off, i paid £2,295 for my mx which is much less than the list for a cbr125 and roughly the same as a cg even, and once de-restricted it is pretty rapid, and extremely nimble, if kept clean and warmed up an extremely good bike!
