I've been looking at possible first bikes for the past 4 days and I am still stuck at square 1. I've been recommended the CG by a lot of people but I just don't like the way it looks. Looking for a 125cc as I can't ride anything over that. Not looking to spend more than £800, I've been advised to go for a trail bike? Opinions....
The bike will be used to get to and from college as well as social use.
Cheers.

At that price, I'd look at condition more than fixating on one specific model. 125s are mostly pretty similar.

Dont believe everything you read and go Chinese.
I rode my Baimo for a year, 4000 faultless miles, before moving up. Take a look at www.baimo.co.uk

Buy the CG, later you will sell it for as much as you pay for it now. On your budget there is really no sensible alternative.

Chinese crap is hard to sell, find parts to fix etc.

I'd go for a CB125 as well. Maybe a YBR125 if you can find a decent one for the money. Thumbs Up
