To be fair, on a multibike policy, the additional cost of adding an extra bike, will be pretty minimal, likewise, vehicle tax is only £18.00 for the year, and, MOT ~£25.00, so, no great expense having another .
Don't see any harm in having multiple 125's, especially if the bike is your primary form of transport, always nice to have a backup, or, just a change in bike/riding style to break up the monotony every now and then ____________________ Beware what photos you upload, or link to on here, especially if you have family members on them |

Sure, if they're radically different, like an XLR 125 and an Intruder 125. Then it makes sense in exactly the same way as having a retarded girlfriend, and a fat retarded girlfriend. ____________________ Biking is 1/20th as dangerous as horse riding.

I often have too many motorcycles, technically I've got too many at the moment, it's fun to have too many, and ride different ones, just because.
This time last year we had a 50cc, 125cc, 200cc, 250cc and a 300cc |

Seriously though, I'd just tough it out until you hit 19, which I believe is this November? The price of the 2nd bike is your training and test costs, and you'll be glad you've got it to hand the moment you give an A2 bike some beans. ____________________ Biking is 1/20th as dangerous as horse riding.

I own multiple 125's, As well as multiple 'big-bikes'.
YES! They are an unmitigated waste of money!
So is Golf, Fishing, Clay-Pigeon Shooting, Building Dolls Houses, Snooker, Theme-Parks, Amusement Arcades, On-line Poker, Holidays in Ibeza, and HUNDREDS of other things! People spend the national debt of a South-American Banana Republic on each year, and call it 'Entertainment'. MOST things we enjoy, in fact cost money, and we can probably live without, hence are a 'wast of money'.
Pays your money and choose your preferred 'wast' of the stuff! ____________________ My Webby'Tef's-tQ, loads of stuff about my bikes, my Land-Rovers, and the stuff I do with them!
Current Bikes:'Honda VF1000F' ;'CB750F2N' ;'CB125TD ( 6 3 of em!)'; 'Montesa Cota 248'. Learner FAQ's:= 'U want to Ride a Motorbike! Where Do U start?' |

How old are you?
You've got a Lexmoto Adrenaline 125, what relatively cheap 125 have you found? |
This is hypothetical but i was thinking of getting a varadero for some longer journeys on the weekend. The adrenaline is good but it really is unhappy with dual-carriageways, not just the engine but the lack of wind protection and carrying capacity too. |
All 125s suck on national speed limit dual carriageways, so don't ride on them.
My old CBF125 using only minor roads I rode it Bedford to Portsmouth, Portsmouth to Bedford, Bedford to Cambridge, Cambridge to halfway home bottled it convinced I'd run out of fuel and so I filled it up, but still had 1.5 litres of fuel left in it. That was the big plus for me, cheap to run, decent fuel range.
The CBF125 had an official larger Honda screen, but honestly in a high wind it was horrible, the naked vanvan 125 was much easier to ride in the wind, but slower and with a tiny fuel tank. |
