You sound sensible, which makes me wonder if you're under 19.
If you're 19+ then I wouldn't waste your time wobbling around on a 125. Bigger bikes are easier to ride.
I get that you want to have a go on a 125 to see if biking's for you, but here's the thing: if it is, then you'll want to get off the 125 ASAP anyway. You can't get a full license using one any more, so you'll have to do training and tests anyway.
Camrider sounds like a decent shout, you could ask them about PAYG training on whatever category of bike is suitable for your age, and see how you get on.
Bear in mind that if you get a 125 then sell it (either because you don't like biking or because you do like it) then you'll probably take a hit on the resale, and very likely lose a big chunk of the insurance costs even if you sell it after a few months.
tl;dr version - do your tasters on the biggest bike that you can. ____________________ Biking is 1/20th as dangerous as horse riding.
