Done my cbt last year, coming up to the age where I can get a 125.

Need something reliable and low mileage.. Scooters only please.

Been looking at Gilera Runner VX125 4 stroke?
Is that a good choice?

What would you reccomend?

Grant.

or as said above. Man up and get a 125cc geared bike. Thumbs Up

You'll only moan about how boring it is to ride a scooter and rant about how stupid you were not to get a manual Mr. Green

I'd recommend that you think ahead. A license is more valuable than any bike. You've got a window of opportunity to pass under the current scheme before it changes for the worse in January 2013 - and it's going to get hella busy next summer when word gets around.

So I suggest you dive through that window head first, focus on passing an A2 geared bike test and getting an A license with a 25kW 2 year restriction. You'll thank us later.
