Honda CG125 or Yamaha YBF 125 are the popular ones.

Easy to insure and ride.

Race reps like Aprillia RS or Honda CBR are more expensive and pricey to fix if you drop them.

Nope not a bad idea but wouldn't be an area I know much about.

I used to have a Sach X road 125, enduro style apprently made in Germany but actually screwed together in China, wasn't that bad though. Did 70mph (just) and was easy enough to run. Big money new but I got mine for £1200 at a year old.

I'm sure others will advise all the various Suzuki, Honda options etc. Just stay away from China home market no name import rubbish that you see online new for £800.

also, i know itll depend on the bike, but roughly how many miles will you get from a full tank with a 125?
