Had a Tiger Cub in my late teens/early twenties.

Many years ago, I traded my 250 Greeves for a 125cc Sachs Cross Country. That Sachs was cool and had all the latest stuff, like folding foot pegs.

There are a lot of really cool 125's I'd love to have, but with my XL body I look like a goober riding them... lol
