turned 17

[hazzern]

Hi there, I have very recently turned 17 and have been riding a 50cc scooter for nearly a year around London, I would like to upgrade to a 125 and I was looking at something like the honda inova 125. However when i typed it into google the reviews were quite poor. I'm looking for a smallish 125 with some storage below the seat. Has anyone got any advice or ideas?

Thanks, Harry

why don't you get a proper bike instead of another moped?

I would suggest the Honda CG125 as will everyone on here they are bullet proof and will never let you down

Look at the CG125. A decent bike not the fastest in the world but great reliability and fuel economy.
Downside is no boot space but you can get a cheap top box for under £50.

HAHA sam beat me to it

I know this sounds bad on a forum like this but I think they look bigger than what I need, I really don't need a big bike in London, you guys can try a pursuade me otherwise but the honda inova looks ideal for weaving through stagnent traffic on my way to college. Does anyone have any experience with one? or should i be looking for something else?

Honda SH125 has good reveiws? still can't see me making such a rapid transition from a whiney scooter to proper looking bike.

Get a cg, don't bother with another scooter/moped thing. Cg's are small and will be good at weaving through traffic up town.

The CG's are not big what so ever they are small little bike. I'm currently on a YBR125 the Yamaha equivalent of the CG and its incredibly easy to filter on.

They are light too so its not like you will have to worry about dropping it.

Are you planning on moving onto a bigger bike at any point? because if you are why are you going to get another moped?
