I wouldn't bother with a 125, they're naff. Get whatever bike that takes your fancy. Even the superbikes are really easy to ride, because they have to be. Just take it easy and you'll soon get used to any bike. Far more important than the size of bike is training. Sign up to IAM. It's only 150 quid and that includes all the training and the test. It's very worthwhile and you'll probably enjoy it too.

TriggR, the good news is that you can forget about the A1 license and go straight for the A2. If I were you, I'd do it as soon as you can do you can get a full license when you're 21, rather than having to wait until you're 24.
Thanks for posting the pdf soll.

I went up there a few weeks ago to find the showroom empty. Anyone know anything about it?

Do you have to get a 125 because you're learning? How long will you be restricted to one?
How many of you went straight for your DAS never riden befor

Personally, I would go down the DAS route to get the test out of the way. Then spend 150 quid and sign up for IAM. That will give you the advanced training, which is what you really need.
There is so much fear and anxiety out there when all you need to do is keep your relative speed low, give yourself the space and time to react, use your common sense and take it steady while you build experience and confidence.
The truth is that all production bikes are easy to ride. They have to be. Get a big bike and just take it steady while you get used to it. Overall you'll save yourself a lot of time, it will be safe, fun and you'll be getting the most out of motorcycling.
Don't miss out the IAM step though, it will save your life. Riding around on a 125 with rubbish tyres, brakes and no power to overtake quickly is the most dangerous part of any bikers life. IMHO.
