ok guys, in the week coming i've got my CBT booked.
so i'm looking at learner legal bikes and was quite taken by the usual suspect, the yzf-r125.
however looking at other ''sports'' 125's i've noticed aprillia have gone to the 4t dark side and released the rs4 125. now i think both of these bikes are stunning and for my daily commute plus some fun every now and again i think they fit the bill nicely.
however i have now hit a bit of a wall with trying to make a decision.
i have sent a couple of emails out to suppliers in my area and it seems you can't test ride bikes if you only have a CBT......
i've spent a couple of hours trawling through youtube etc.. and there is quite a lack of vids/info for the rs4 125.
how am i expected to decide on a bike if i can't go for a ride? i mean, the quick-shifter on the rs4 looks like a nice idea but how do i know if i cant use it?!
i am however leaning towards the aprilia for the quick shifter the slightly cheaper cost and that it's a little different but there is such a lack of reviews, comparisons and general info!! the only worthwhile vid is of some italian kids letting his dad ride it around a car park!!
so i'm in a bit of a conundrum!!
also, does anybody know what the first registration fees on a bike? i see in the small print that the prices don't generally include this!!
damn it. i just want my bike already lol!!
ohh, and another quick question.
im 25 and this will be my first vehicle. does £700 fully comp sound about right?
thanks again guys,
Stu.
