Need a bike

[www.125power.com]

Does any one have a 100 or 125cc scooter for sale in about 4-5months time??
If not what would be a good "girly" scooter?

I want to buy my g/f a bigger one for her b/day, dont think she can quite get away with a geared one yet?

Yeah, cos of course you sat on a geared bike for the first time ever and just knew automatically what to do didn't you?

Buy her some lessons instead.

Yamaha have just released a neos in pink sparkle paint There's one in the local dealers. I'm not sure if it's a 50 or the 100, though. Looks just a bit "loud"

YES!!!!

Unless she particularly likes scooters of course. Not many people do though, even us girlies!

I think she's a bit scared to be honest, about having a gearbox and clutch to work......big insurance jump too, 50 auto to 125 geared especially with no ncb and little experience

6 months is not "little" experience unless she hardly rides?

Insurance won't be that much different, and it'll be cheaper than, say, for you at the same age anyway because she's a girl.

Have you actually spoken to her at all about this?

A bike is a kind of personal thing, she might want a say in what she's going to get. If she doesn't ride her 50 she might not want one at all!

She definatly wants a bigger one, she said she doesnt mind if its scooter or a geared one, i just thought a scooter would be beter for her to insure, and easier for her to ride and stuff cos she is quite short......cbr125 is bout the tallest thing she can "just get away with"

If she's short she won't be able to ride most scooters because of the wide seats. Trust me on this, I am vertically challenged myself and my other half works in a scooter shop so I've tested most of them!

However, she would probably be OK on most of the standard 125 learners, CG125, GS125, etc etc. SR125 is about the lowest you can go in terms of seat height. Some of the Far-East cruiser 125s are very cheap, and quite impressive in terms of bling factor too. Hysoungs particularly seem to be becoming a lot more reliable these days.

okay thanks for all your help will shop around for a 125 for her to wreck , reckon it worth getting a crappy run around geared bike so she doesnt have to learn the gears on a new one....Just feel a bit shit if she fell off a brand new one

Don't get a new one, especially if she's going to struggle to reach the floor on it. She WILL drop it. And it will probably be your fault......

well, i been talking to her (as we were posting) and she said she'd rather have a scooter because she feels a lot safer on them, plus ill no doubt be tweaking it up as she gets used to it to make it quicker, so ill have to buy her a scooter.......
cant just give her what she doesnt want, can i?
