125 for a tall-ish bloke

[Flibbles]

So I'm going to do my CBT soon and am looking for a 125 that I won't look silly on, I've had a look at the Honda xl125 Varadero and that looks perfect however I can't seem to find a decent example for much less than a grand- and ideally I want to spend around 500 though if necessary I'll pay the grand.

Are there any alternatives to this bike which have similar styling and ride height? Most 125's I've sat on feel like toy bikes to me (6ft and 16st).

Thanks.

Trail-type bikes don't appeal to me at all- I've been looking at the YBR125; that looks alright and though it's a bit smaller than I'd like, it's not tiny.

Knowing me I'll probably get the xl125 varadero though, it's not like the money is forever lost since i'll only be keeping it for a few months then I can recoup most of it as I'll be off to uni and I can't have one there for the first year (living in halls).

Thanks for the suggestions guys
