Sachs to add 125 to its range

GERMAN firm Sachs is adding a new 125 machine to its range, the ZZ Funbike.

It uses the Yamaha DT125R engine. Sachs says the bike is designed for use either on or off road, but it comes with Pirelli MT road tyres.

The engine takes advantage of the latest laws for learner bikes, which allow them ride bikes up to 15bhp, rather than the old 12bhp. It will be available in yellow and black – or blue and black if you put in a special order, for £2995 on the road £100 more than the Yamaha DT125R. Details: 01743-761107.
