Need help deciding on a 125

[Omnipresent_Walrus]

Hi there, im looking at upgrading from my 50cc 2t scooter to a 125cc bike.
My budget is whatever I can sell my Kymco Super 8 2t for plus about £150-£200.

Anyone know roughly what the scooter's worth and have any suggestions for a good 125 at that sort of price range?

P.S. It would be great if the suggested bike could outperform my brother's Sinnis Apache

aprilla rs 125? was looking at them for about a month. you can get one for around 800 with low mileage if that helps. try and get one that's just had a rebuild (and a garage receipt confirming)
Good luck

Standard advice on these forums is for used Japanese 125.

If you have a good look round these forums you will find examples of people asking for advice on e.g. whether to buy used Honda CG125s in what I think would be your price range.

Not sure whether you could reach £1500 for a new-ish used YBR, but CG125 is another popular learner-commuter choice and you can find cheap examples of it on GumTree etc.
