Welcome to the forum dude Thumbs Up we need more of us scots in here Mr. Green

That xr is lovely, wish i had a first bike like that Laughing

Not too clued up on what supermotos are good, but it really depends what you're using it for.

I've always fancied a DRZ400, but they're not very powerful compared to others....

Since you're 17 you'll be restricting anyway so it shouldn't matter what you get.

If you like the XR125, you could go for it's big brother the XR650. puts out 45bhp stock, so i doubt it'd be hard to restrict.

That, or get a GPZ500s Wink

I was waiting for that Wink

Welcome! Don't be in a rush to upgrade just for the sake of it... 125s are light, nimble, and top fun. Oh, and cheap Very Happy

Sounds like you've had a good start tho... Quads aren't my thang, but you've had a couple of nice bikes there Thumbs Up

I always liked the look of the aprilla RS125, but bottled it due to stories of breakages ike yours. Part of me wishes I had just got it bought tho; looks like top fun....
