me and thee mrs were in southport this aft and wandering past a small bike shop, i was taken by some small bikes in the line up. they were all some far eastern make, but one was badged as a bullit 125. what a stonking little bike. suzuki gs125 engine in a modern styled chassis, looking like an old brit wd bike, dark green, knobbly tyres, brown leather saddle. really nice wee thing, and wheen h fired it up, it sounded lovely, the noise certainly belied its 125cc size, they had a matt silver/grey one, and then one that if it drove past you, you might think it was a small bmw gs, including the adventure style panniers. these are all sub 3 grand bikes and seem pretty well built. no unsightly cables and pipes, stainless fixings, decent looking metalwork and paint. linked brakes and stainless exhausts. these guys have certainly learned a lot in the past decade.

Very nice indeed! I've been admiring the Sunnis range for a few years, and seen a couple of the Bullets, but not as nice as these ones. If they were 250s you'd nearly think about it ;)

and they stand upto close examination. the quality is pretty good, and the one which resembles the bmw gs is bloody lovely to look at. really nice things.
and yes, if they were a 250 then people would be queueing up for them.

Love the second one (street tracker style) I think so long as who ever you were out with on a ride had the same capacity machine you could still have a good laugh. I know of a bloke who goes out with a group of his pals and they all go on Honda type monkey bikes... reckons they have a ball
