What bike ?

[X9-rider]

Hi

What bike would people recommend for some one on CBT, i have got rid of the Scooter, and looking for something different, what would people recommend ? its got to be able to do the test, so must be A2 bike!

options iam considering so far :

4 Strokes = Hyosung GT125R / Hyosung Comet 125
2 Strokes = Aprilla RS 125 / Gilera SC 125

both the Hyosungs i have tested ride and are not slow can reach 80mph on the dash reading and are reliable, but parts are very expensive, and as for the Aprila RS 125 after reading reviews there fast for 100+ but parts are hard to come by and are expensive, the Gilera SC125 acording to reviews is more reliable than the Rs125....

Anyway whats peoples views or recommend other bikes if you know one better ?

Hello

I had a Honda CG And did my Motorbike test on that passed MOD 1 but failed MOD 2.

I found the CG125 easy to ride and nippy at filtering but find it slow with only tops at 60mph, one reaon why i sold my Cg right after my test.

It would be useful having a CG125 if only for the test only, but want one to use for work as well as weekend rides with mates.

I hear the CB125 is better than the CG speed wise ?

Agreed with above, cheapest CG you can find, passed my full test with it. Then just sell it on after and get something bigger, save your money.

Its speedy enough to get your through the test, mine did and it was a 1977 one!

The RS is great, but you really need to work with the gears and run it on proper expensive oil.

The Hyosung is also nice... but its still a 125.

Just get a cheap shit chinese to get through your test and get a bigger one

I have a friend with a 80's CB125RS and that is nippy! i was surprised, it will hit 70 at a push and has decent acceleration because its light

Get a CG I could swear somebody else said that, and as for speed? It can do 90 because the speedo told me so (it really can't)

125 on CBT, you want something that makes getting your licence as easy as possible. That while you do that is as easy and cheap top live with as it can be. As hassle free, and reliable as possible. and when you are done with it, easy to flog on, and get as much of your money back as possible.

Forget looks, forget performance, forget finding a bargain.

Solution?

Yes, CG's are good too, as are many other bikes of differing vintages, BUT: cut & pasted from very similar Q on Newbie board:

We all have our friends whom we always want to be around us because they can be fun and easy to get along with. We tend to do a lot of things together and just enjoy each other’s company, so to speak.
There is also stuff that we always carry with us because they can be inevitably important or we just want to around with it. This is especially true when the things we always have around gives us some kind of security and defines something about us. Most people do not forget their phones and laptops. Some would always have their game gadgets or some would never go without their precious car or bike or motorcycle.
Motorcycles have become a fad because of the different kind of experience that people get from it compared to car or any other closed vehicle. Motorcycles somehow give some kind of sense of freedom and strength. But then, in riding a motorcycle, you are bared to many different kinds of harms and injuries as motorcycles are wide open. For this, you would definitely need a set of motorcycle jackets to keep you safe from harm.
