Hello :-) 125cc Help

[JAZ1975]

I am looking to do my CBT in the near future (again) and am looking at buying a 125cc to ride for the 2 years to get some road sense and learn how to ride properly. I need some help on what bike to buy for my first bike, I have looked at a few but think they are too small for me, I look stupid on them. My wife currently rides a FZ6 and was told by her brother, who also rides a 600, that the Hyosung GT125R is of a similar size to their bikes, of which it is but finding one near me or in my price range in near impossible. I have look at bike trader and ebay and have seen a few but would like some advice on what I should/could get.
Here are few I've looked at:
125cc 08 LTD EDITION BLACK CAT SKYJET BIKE 125 SPORTS
125cc Kaisar Sports Bike
Hyosung GT125R

All of which you have mentioned (apart from the Hyosung) DO NOT BUY is what i would advise as they are Chinese which means they are a potential money pit. Depending on what you want go for something like a Honda Varadero, they seem to be good for taller riders.

Definitely worth joining the biking world Its best to stick to the known brands like Honda, Yamaha, Aprilia, etc. It depends how much you want to spend and if you don't know much about bikes i would suggest buying a 4 stroke as they require a little less maintenance. Have you tried the good old Honda CG?

I'm afraid 1500 wont get you a GT125R but it could get you a Hyosung Comet and definitely a Honda CG
