Cheap A1 licence commuter
A used Racing S 125 is one of the lowest-cost ways into a modern ABS-equipped 125 scooter, and its liquid-cooled single is happy at full throttle in town. Check that the ABS warning light goes out after start-up, as the sensors and module are the priciest parts on the bike.
Plastics, battery and corrosion
Owners report weak battery life (often needing replacement every 2-3 years), rust on exhaust shields and fasteners on bikes kept outdoors, and brittle plastic panel tabs that crack after a tip-over. Variator rattle or a vibrating takeoff usually means worn rollers or a tired drive belt.
Belt and CVT servicing
Oil changes every 3,000 km with gearbox/final-drive oil every 6,000 km, and inspect the drive belt, rollers and clutch shoes around every 10,000-12,000 km. Coolant should be replaced every two years and the valve clearances checked periodically, since the engine is a conventional screw-and-locknut design that's simple to adjust.
