The R125 is a mega fun first bike. I'd only really recommend it if you want to progress onto sports bikes later down the line. It's actually more of an aggressive seating position than people give it credit for, and that's coming from a guy who rides an R6 now.
It looks sick to people who don't know a thing about motorcycles (which is a lot of people, actually) - but you'll always accidentally look hilarious to everyone any time you're riding it because of a combination of how it looks and the sound it makes in comparison to how not fast it goes.
You'll also get cars wanting to take the piss because "look at this idiot, he thinks his bike is fast, I'll show him in my vauxhall corsa!", but this might've only been because I live in London.
From the perspective of people who have owned anything over 125cc or just someone who pays attention to bigger bikes/the biking scene in general, you'll be poked fun of, especially if you have an aftermarket can and full leathers like I did.
I used to think I was the shit when I had the R125 not gonna lie, even though I knew everyone thought I was a twat. No fucks given.
But yeah if you aren't really going to keep it or progress onto a sportsbike, and it's a go-between for the car, then get a scooter.
Also the R125 is fine for commuting. Unless you are in a mega rush there's no difference between an R125 and a scooter in heavy traffic as they're both thin enough to fit through most gaps. The only difference is turning circle, where a scooter will beat the R125 but again, you're saving a few seconds at best, maybe one red light? I used to deliver pizzas on scooters, and commute to uni by R125, both were the same shit, scooter was more boring and didn't have gears and looked crappy and was generally sleepworthy except being able to scrape off the footpegs on roundabouts because of the terrible ground clearance, that was the only difference. |

I'd suggest that you look into licensing.
Why would you get A1 and limit yourself to a 125, instead of full A? ____________________ Biking is 1/20th as dangerous as horse riding.
