Best first bike?

[Rocker_rego]

Hey I am going to be taking my cbt in a few months and I was just wondering what a good first bike to start off with is?
Im 6ft, 14-15st - so i don't want too look stupid.
Im not really fussed on the style
It needs too be quite cheap!

=] Any suggestions?

Yamaha YBR-125 - £2000

Come's with a year's free insurance and a £500 YAMcheque (voucher for a bigger bike bought within 2 years). By my reckoning - if you sell it for £1000 within the next 2 years, add the insurance then the bike cost £500 for 2 years!

EDIT: I'm also the same heigh / build and it fits me fine.

you can get the cg125... its tough, economical and kinda fast... but you might look because its small. if you want a bigger one, why dont you get its sister, the honda xr125l, its basiclly the same thing but abit more expensive

you can get them for about £1500, its a nice bike, you might find one for about 1200 if your lucky. it does about 70 ish mpg and its got loads of power at low speed, ive heard

if not that, get some old DT125, KMX125, any trial bike because it will suit a tall person

i agree with daves choise there withyour height. i was going to say a cg or along the lines but my dad is pretty tall and looks silly on wee bikes so he has a trials.

I need some advice. I've been looking at a GS125 for a bike so i can pass my test on. Will it do the job or am i better looking at something else?

Personally, I wouldn't really be spending over £1k on a first 125cc bike.

I rode a cg and I'm an inch or two at the most shorter than you and was a similar weight when I had my CG125.
Personally, I'd reccomend something like a DT125, KMX125 or similar (2 strokes, so a bit faster). The Hysoung (sp?) supermoto125 has got some good press recently and some have gone quite cheaply as well.

Cheers just waiting for a guy to get back to me. Got £850 ish to buy, insure and get Helmet,Jacket for a H plate GS125 , hope it'll be enough.
