This is genuinely my dream bike. I’ve had it for around 3 years, and I’ve put a lot of time, care, and money into getting it right — but right now it’s just not realistic for me to keep it since I am moving countries in August.
It’s a 125 and it’s running beautifully: smooth, responsive, and reliable. Over time, most of the parts have been replaced with newer ones, and the engine has been rebuilt — it now runs like butter and purrs like a tiger.
I ended up naming it Frankie after Frankenstein, because so many parts aren’t original anymore — but that’s also why it’s been properly sorted and looked after. I’d love it to go to someone who’ll treat it well and enjoy it as much as I have.
