First of all Hi,
I just created an account to get advise from people who know better than me (which isn't hard)

I just recently passed my cbt and I have no idea what bike to get, I'm 19(soon to be 20) I was looking at cbr125's but I'll be commuting to work every day and using it to travel to friends houses and stuff on weekends.
Also there is a massive incline and I don't want a bike that will struggle too much up it.
2 stroke or 4 stroke bikes? I have no idea what I need and I'd appreciate your guys' expert advise Wink
I was looking at reiju rs3 125 and the aprilia rs125 but I've heard they require a lot of maintenance also that two strokes take a lot more maintanence in general.
I'll need to learn everything from scratch.

Arrow advice.

Go for 4 stroke unless you want to do regular rebuilds. 2 strokes are definitely higher maintenance, especially the RS125.

Or, do you your test and get a bigger bike with more training behind you.

A2 licence, if you buy a 125 now and get bored of it soon you'll then do the A2 and kick yourself for money down the drain on the 125
