the r125 looks amazing but how will it be used and for how long

if its just till you pass the test i would get a cg125, cheap, keeps its value and will probobly have similar performance.

i'd personally buy a cg125 but i skipped out 125's and went straight to a big bike.

There's a couple of second hand ones on eBay at the moment with only 700 miles on the clock.

£2600

£2550

Much better than buying new as you won't have to run it in and you save £450

Bollocks to the CG idea even if you do pass your test you can still use it just drop the loser plates

When and had a look and sit on 1 on sunday was a nice sized 125 even for me and im 6"5 and not exactly skinny

Id buy one, If you can afford one buy it

The CG is amazing, but if i was younger and on a CBT the R125 would be the nuts it just looks so good for a 125

Don't do it. Get a rs125.

I was riding with one on my gpr 50 last week and it only just beat me everywhere. I don't like them anyway as when I sat on it the tank felt really high and the clocks far away leaving you feeling very exposed...

Way too expensive and pretty slow - a serious waste of money.

[Shaane]

I speak to him on msn. He already has the bike and its brand new out the showroom. Cost him 3k.

3k could of bought a nice 600cc.

I don't know how people figure the R125 to be slow. The standard one I know is respectably nippy. Expensive they are, slow they ain't.

What's up with a 600 as a first geared bike?
Restricted to 33hp it'll be a bit but not that hugely faster than the 125 - sure it'll be a bit heavier, but then he'd loose less value if he crashed it relatively - especially if you're including the cost of passing your test in with the £3k.

It's not such a big thing now, but there's still plenty of situations where you can find yourself one of the slowest vehicles doing 80mph on an A road.
However, the issue is more the acceleration you get from 60-80mph, say.

If you've bought it already <shrugs>, I hope you enjoy it .

[leddy500]

Yeah well.. it'll be fast for me and next year i'll sell it and should get £2000 for it.. then do my full bike test and get a 250 or 400
