I would get the YBR125. Had one in the past, very good bike for a 125.

The YBR, the other thing is a POS to be regretted forever.

Or any 2nd hand Honda, Kawasaki, Suzuki or Yamaha, and yes, I stand by Japanese bikes (mostly) as the best first choice.

There are a few exceptions with regard to Japanese quality of late, so do some research, guys on here have related some pretty bad experiences with new Japanese bikes, including Soichiro san's disappointing decline in quality control on some models.

I'd get the directbike one.
A few years ago I took these guys advice and got a YBR.

A few months ago I splashed out on a shit 5 series BMW from a dealer claiming it was 100% kosher with 0 issues... Had so many problems with it I ended up parking it in a ditch and running away from it.

Moral of the story. You're going to buy a lemon. Better that lemon be a £950 one. Cheaper to learn life's' cruel lessons from.
