Spec me a 125cc!!!

Gunni Parker · 20 Apr 2010 at 22:37

Just passed my CBT, and I am after a 125cc bike for work. Any suggestions??? Preferably after a automatic as I can't quite get me head around the gears just yet.

If you've any aspiration at all to go bigger in the future, get a geared bike! In fact, I'd get one anyway - you'll have much more fun and control.

Get a push bike.

Gunni Parker · 21 Apr 2010 at 10:09

So no sensible suggestions as to what bike to get?

Voltjunkie · 21 Apr 2010 at 10:20

CG125.

I had a Gilera DNA125, was decent enough.

Fireskull · 21 Apr 2010 at 10:25

Gear or nothing at all!

I had a nice Korean Hyosung, great little bike and cheeep.

I "think" the Gilera scooter is the fastest 1T scooter (auto) you can get so that's the one for me, With a few mods it'll be a flying machine off the lights.

CG125, or a supermoto type bike if you're just commuting on it.

Jonnybmac · 21 Apr 2010 at 13:23

aprillas are cheap and decent bikes

Amp34 · 21 Apr 2010 at 14:25

Do they still do the Aprillia RS125? Or what about the CBR125?

If you want something a bit bigger (size wise) then a DT125?

RS125 for sheer fun CBR125 just looks awful.

YZF-r125 if you can get your head round the gears.

Billy1280 · 21 Apr 2010 at 17:46

i have Yamaha YBR125 and i cant fault it

Gunni Parker · 21 Apr 2010 at 22:58

The_Abyss · 22 Apr 2010 at 00:59

I think it looks great for a 125. Sure it's got skinny tyres but so do all 125s.

My pal has one and I dont honestly know what it is i just find them awfully high looking and weird.

CBF125 for me. Cheap to run but certainly not quick!

eidolon · 22 Apr 2010 at 10:41

A 125 is never going to set the world alight but it's more than enough for commuting (especially my commute anyway) and sooooo unbelievably cheap to run.
