Rude

Hello all, Brand new entry-level newbie commuter/utility motorbiker here. Taking my CBT in a couple of weeks and I am currently living in rural N. Yorkshire. I'm quite a big guy - 185cm, 110kg. Have done a bit of research into the UK 125cc market and settled on a Honda SH125i (mainly for the extensive storage options). However after a day of calling dealerships it seems the port congestion and supply chain issues are heavily affecting Honda and they said if I pre-order now, they expect mine to arrive in Feb 2022. So now I'm faced with getting an older used model. Wanted to ask the community for any advice or tips regarding buying used 125cc scooters. What's a good mileage to look out for? I have heard that 3000 miles is a good cutoff. Which model and what year bikes would you recommend to look for? Like I mentioned previously, the Honda SH125i looks good to me but I am open to other suggestions for my use-case. Have heard that the Honda PCX125 is great (storage not as good as the SH125i is what I've read) and the Yamaha NMAX125 is another solid option. What other factors should a newbie like me be looking out for when buying a 2nd hand bike? How about proper gear for the English rain/snow, especially in winter? Any general riding/safety tips for a newbie? Thanks in advance, appreciate any advice. Best regards.

Cheers thank you @bonio

Hi all, I'm new to the UK and to motorcycles in general. My uncle grew up riding his (now) classic Yamaha and trials bikes around Yorkshire so he's recommended me to pick one up for commute/utility since the driving schools and test centres are fully bottlenecked. Speaking of bottlenecked, I've done a bit of market research and have settled on a Honda SH125 but after ringing up some dealerships today it seems the supply chain for new Hondas have been affected and is severely bottlenecked. Am now looking at the 2nd hand used market and wish to ask some questions to you experienced enthusiasts. Where might be the best place to ask on the forum? Cheers
