you wont be able to ride a 33bhp restricted bike till you pass your test. Do your CBT and you can ride a 125 restricted to 14.66bhp on L plates. Bearing that in mind, most 125's will be roughly the same performance wise they are never going to be the quickest.

which leaves us with looks, if your learning, be prepared to drop the bike now and again. Not saying you will but its more likely you might till you get used to the bike. This can be expensive.... especially with something like a mito.

My advice would be get something reliable and cheap that you wont mind giving it the odd knock now and again. Save the change to go towards decent kit.

But then again you're gonna be the one riding it at the end of the day, so its up to you.

You can't book your practical before you're 17 i'm afraid, you need to have passed your theory before you can book your practical, and you need to be 17 for that.

The sticky posts at the top of the new bikers section will tell you all you need to know.

If you decide you want to save loads of money, a Honda CG125 will fit people of your size and weight.

The new model 2004 onwards has higher handlebars to make it even easier.

Pass your test and then get a larger bike, you need a bigger engine and more power due to your size and weight!

once you pass your test assuming you'll be taking the A2 restricted, you can ride any bike as long as its restricted to 33bhp.
