so today i bought a 2006 Honda CG125 for £1100 including free delivery and a free service thanks to my dad and his mediocre haggling skills.

bought it from Ace Motorcycles in Macclesfield, the bloke who worked there was friendly, yet weird as buggery.

paid £300 for fire and theft insurance.

well up for getting it tomorrow and riding about.

When are you doing the 5 day course?

If soon, then why buy a 125?

Not having a go, just wondering why buy a 125 then be able to ride either a restricted bike or any size bike Thumbs Up

i'm doing it around christmas time.

i got a 125 so i can ride it about in the winter and until i have enough for a bigger bike, also, i think it would be a good idea to ride about for a month or two on a 125 instead of jumping in at the deep end on a 500 or something

Fair comment Thumbs Up

Do they book your theory or do you have to sort that out before taking the 5 day course?
