Hi there, Due to many many reasons i'm looking to bin my car and get a bike (running costs mainly at the moment) And as i only have my CBT completed, i'm looking for a 125cc MotoX style bike.... So, i have road gear (Jacket, gloves, boots and lid) But if anyone knows of anywhere to get (not necessarily cheap, but off-road kit on a budget) I'd appreciate the input. And any suggestions on the aforementioned bike would be nice (under £1,000 would be awesome for one in reasonable condition) Thanks in advance guys/girls and those that are as yet undecided!

2 & 3 look like winners to me, my instructor on my cbt had an led strip (i think it had around 6 led's on the strip) on his Blackbird just under the air intake (wrong terminology for a bike?) it made him a lot more visible in the mirrors

Susieque and mic, sound advice, and yes, i fully intend on getting a bigger bike, was thinking a 400 if i find one i fit comfortably (asking around my friends at the moment to see if i can find one to try-on for size) failing that, a 600cc but we'll see on either! Thanks again for the input everyone! Rae

Well, Went down to a local bike showroom, and tried on a CBR125r for size.... I'm now considering selling my landy to get one... On that note, anyone want to buy a Pristine 1993 Land Rover Discovery, Mint condi.... Sorry, wrong advert! Anyone fancy buying a 1993 Land Rover Discovery, 200Tdi 2.5 litre diesel, Good chassis, body work.... could be better, Used off road (no sense in having a 4x4 just incase it rains, get it muddy!!!)

Cheers guys! Will look at 125's for sure, any opinions on 'mini' sports bikes? like the CBR, YZF or the Aprilia RS125? If it helps, i'm 6'1" and 13.5 stone? I'm not in a huge rush as i drive, but, sad to say, as with most things, i still want it now!!! it's just not a necessity...... yet. Well, i'm off to introduce myself in the.... well, introduction area. Thanks again, and looking forward to some first hand opinions on the 125 sports bikes!

Hey all, passed my CBT yesterday first time now, due to work commitments i'm not going to be able to do the rest of my full licence until next year. So was wondering whether it'd be worth getting myself a 125cc bike to built confidence and skill in the mean time? Any advice will be great!
