    Hey. Long time. I need quick advice. I live in Malaysia for 3 months now and I'm looking for a bike. I've found two interesting bikes but I have some doubts.

    One is this Honda cb500 four from 1980:
    http://www.mudah.my/Honda+cb500four+...c-24079301.htm

    the price is in RMB 4000. Is it possobile someone would sell this awsome bike so cheap?

    The other one is also retro exciting Honda XL125S afgan fighters bike:http://www.mudah.my/Motocycle+Scramb...k-21780240.htm

    The pice is like 5600 rmb. I really love the look but I'm warried it will be too small. Does anyone have any experience with this bike?

    Lokking forward to hear from you guys!

    Both bikes look very old late 70's so. I would have a look at the CB500. The engine size is all you need, but chances are for that price it's in pretty bad condition. Have a look, bring any mechanically competent friends with you. Hondas are well made machines but at that age you never really know how they are.

    Hey. Thanks. I called the guy. He forgot one zero so its 40k rmb. Too much for that bike I guess. But the small honda looks really vintage.
