Looking for prices

I'm 24 and want to get my first bike and I'm looking at a new Aprilia RS 125 or maybe a Cagiva 125, and I hear that their cheaper to buy brand new in places like Sheffield or London, but a couple websites I have looked on are all pretty much the same price (around 3,700).

I'd be willing to pay around 3,500 or a bit less if poss. Also, I was told that these bikes aren't worth buying second hand as they have been thrashed about?

On another note, do you need to do your theory before you can do your CBT?

I dont think you need theory for a Cbt , but i done mine before anyway, but im pretty sure you dont need theory.

Ok thanks.

By the way, before anyone flames me for not reading the rules (maybe a question of mine has been answered there already), I cannot actually view https://www.bikechatforums.com/viewtopic.php?t=33113 as it keeps timing out.

I'm a newbie, and you don't need a Theory to do your CBT (however I didnt know this until yesterday after doing some reading) so I have my theory tomorrow! Rolling Eyes

What I did was I bought a 125cc (second hand) and did my cbt. I rode around on this for 9 months then did my theory then full test. I sold the bike and bought my new bandit Very Happy

Some people do the test without any experience and pass first time, I decided to do it gradually and I also passed first time Very Happy

Thanks for the replies all.

I'm going to look around for a Mito (99/00) in yellow, but there doesn't seem to be that many around on places like eBay/Ad Trader/Bike Trader, got any recommendations as to where I can look?
