I got a Mutt Motorcycle Fat Sabbath 125 when I was learning, great bike and looks / sounds bigger than it is.

Jealous, if there's going to be an age before i can do the direct access i may have to suck it up and just live with a 125 and one of these would do me great.I bought a 2016 YBF today.
Sorry I should have typed YBR.Jealous, if there's going to be an age before i can do the direct access i may have to suck it up and just live with a 125 and one of these would do me great.
I did my CBT a few weeks back, i'm 34 so DAS seems the way to go. Given that i cannot book the theory and there will be a backlog of re-books because of the lockdown it could be quite some before i get to do the mod 1/2. Like you if i get a 125 it will only be until my mod1/2 is done and i can move to a 600cc or something similar. I'm just keeping an eye out on local facebook groups and local bike shops on the off chance something decent comes up.Sorry I should have typed YBR.
I think you have to be 24 years old to do DAS. I am doing DAS and didn't initially intend to get a 125. But with lockdowns causing such a backlog of tests I decided to get a 125 for a few months and sell it in spring or summer when I hopefully pass. Although I could just wait, I decided to get the 125 to practice several areas I personally felt needed improvement on my CBT. Given that I have long wait for my theory, mod 1 and mod 2 it just seemed worth it
ThanksNice, congrats mate. Absolute troopers those bikes, nothing can kill them. Enjoy
Good luck. It's not the best time of year to start learning but it's good fun. Mind out for wet roads, man hole covers and leaves, etc.I did my CBT a few weeks back, i'm 34 so DAS seems the way to go.

Not read the whole thread.
You want a 2nd Japanese four stroke. /End thread.
No Chinese crap.
£1000 budget on the bike. Spend more on a better helmet and gear.
My first bike was a TW125 .
I think at rhe moment it is quite hard to get something decent branded less than 1k. For example the bike you mentioned is on average over 1200. I can only guess the prices are high due to covid.
I feel like an idiot for spending 4.5k on my 125 now after reading these comments . Well at least it looks fast . and I am happy
True that was in my head the whole time i promise . watch out for my selling thread in a year or 2 haha.Someone has to buy them new, so we can buy them cheaply a few years later, you are providing a public service
Itd be ok with spending it if I was an experienced rider and wanted a 125 for short commutes. I know people with powerful bikes and a small bike for the work runs.I feel like an idiot for spending 4.5k on my 125 now after reading these comments . Well at least it looks fast . and I am happy

For me I know I'm going to do some stupid **** so would rather do it with a cheaper bike. Something like falling of the bike when I've stopped that kinda thing
That's lovely.What bike did the OP go for in the end? I got myself a Honda CB125R in matte grey in march, a little under £4K. great bike to get to Uni and back and I'm 36 next month.
Great little bike. I owned a 2018 model for just over a yearWhat bike did the OP go for in the end? I got myself a Honda CB125R in matte grey in march, a little under £4K. great bike to get to Uni and back and I'm 36 next month.
