What 125cc should I get? 10pts?

No matter what 125 you get it won't be fast enough for you after a maximum of 3 months. Bearing that in mind get a CG125 as it is a fantastic bike that won't let you down with excellent fuel economy - I used to get well over 100mpg on my 2001 bike. You can get all your crashing done and just bend it back into shape and then after a bit on that you can sell it for pretty much what you paid for it and get something faster.

When I first got it I remember thinking, "Well, it'll do 70mph and that's all I'll really need." but I soon traded it in for a 600 Hornet which in turn got upgraded to a Fireblade in 2010.

The CG is basicly a cheap commuter bike, nothing fancy but it has great reliability and fuel economy.

The CBF is a newer bike, better looking and probably better for the taller person. Being a Honda, it also has good reliability. It might have a little better performance then the CG, being a newer model.

For a sport 125cc which is a good all around bike, there's the CBR125. Then there's another like the CG, the Yamaha YBR125.

For £1500 you could get a 6 or 7 year old Honda CG125 with no mechanical problems and in full working order, I always recommend those bikes for your sort of budget as you won't get many problems with one of those.

i agree aprilias are really nice bikes if u want a hard racing 125 and you can get them for the sort of price range you are going for on ebay but if u can squeeze ur budget a bit more and pay a little bit extra a ktm duke is the one for you it has the race feel exept it isnt as uncomfortable its a ktm so natrally it is a high quality bike and wont break down on you and they are really fast as well so ur best option is a duke but if u want to feel like a racer get the aprilia hope this helps alot

I'm no expert but I'm going to be getting the new aprillia 125 it's an awesome machine tons better than the old aprilia

With you amout of money just get the Honda invicta, it's a 150cc and it looks kinda like a sporty naked bike. But if you must get a 125cc I had a Honda cgl and that worked out very well for me. I had it for about a year befor I moved up to the invicta.
