Surely you can't insure a 125cc bike until you have a CBT certificate & are at least 17 yrs old?????

How are you going to get it from the place you bought it from to your home?

If you buy it before you can ride it, at least it will give you chance to make it 100% how you want it.

If it is used there is always a good chance of it needing a few small jobs doing.

I bought a CBF125, 6 weeks before I rode it.

I serviced it myself, as it was simple, even for he who cannot hold a wrench without scepticism.

"Will this thing break my bike?"

"Will this thing decide to come to life and use me as a tool?"

"Will this thing feel neglected if I don't use it for another 6 months?"

"Will this thing ever become something more than a wrench?"

I'm 100% sure that you shouldn't.
