Having looked at the DAS courses still available this year, it would be cheaper to buy two bikes and literally throw one away hahaha So I think that is that decision made, and maybe I'll find some creative routes with no hills at 60 Is it best to buy from a dealership or online (or dynax's Honda ) ? The dealership ones seem more expensive but I'm concerned I wouldn't know what to check for buying privately and it might fall apart after a few weeks

Thanks all, some things to think about!

I replied before I saw your reply onesea, maybe I'd need more than a few weeks to learn then.... haha As long as I got one that did 60 comfortably that would be enough for where I want to go

Thanks for the reply, I was thinking it seems silly to buy a bike just to learn on for a few weeks, my worry was I've never even sat on a bike before, it would be nice to be able to spend some time in a car park getting used to it before going for the full course and test. I guess the direct access course has enough time for you to get used to riding though? That is probably the best option

Hi, I'd like to learn to ride and have booked the CBT. Do people normally buy a 125cc bike for a short time while learning then buy a bigger bike after getting a full licence? From what I've read a 125cc is not very good at 60mph? (I'd like to use it to get places once I've learned to ride and not get in everyone's way because I'm stuck at 50mph haha) Does anyone have any advice?
