    Cant say about reliability as I never owned or knew anyone that had one of these. I have a cbr125r and the engine in those is bulletproof. Can't think other 125's be much different.
    On the other hand the bike hasnt been started ina year so she will probaly need a full service and I mean full. Since she hadnt beens started in so long ago I take she doesnt run so make sure to knock something of the price for that + service costs.

    Are you buying it for the sake of buying it or are you actively looking for a bike to learn to ride or commute etc? A 125cc bike limits you an awful lot if you are looking to do certain things.

    Things like height and weight will play a part in choosing the right bike. But if buying it at little or nothing to sell it on go for it.....

    There is also a kickstart on the ybr 125. If there is petrol and a good spark plug in the bike, it will start.

    I'm looking to learn to ride it seems it's fairly basic so shouldn't be too hard to learn I hope :o
