Hi all,
I'm starting a new job next month and I've decided to go on two wheels as opposed to four. I can't be bothered with sitting on a train day in, day out - so I've decided the best thing to do would be to pass my CBT test and get a bike. I'm a total beginner, but I was thinking about getting a second hand 125cc bike (Aprilia, Honda). Can anyone: i) Recommend, or know of anyone who would sell such a thing ii) Advise of the best kind of bike for me (I'd like as much grunt as 125cc can offer... ) Any other tips that you think would help would be gratefully received. Cheers. -------------------- Regards,

QUOTE (firefly (a few months back)) I've no long-term ambitions to own anything too major. It's purely a way of getting to work and back. I've been told the Aprilia 125 is nice, and is nippy enough to get away from most things.
Don't you just love it :D :wink: Congratulations Mr. ff -------------------- Regards, Insider

QUOTE (peteturbo) Happens to us all. I never intended more than a 200 benley Looks like I have always been stupid :oops: Jumped off the 250 I took my test on (long time ago!) and jumped onto the Bonnie a mate had previously parked outside the Test Station. :D
