+1 for going straight to your A training and tests.
When you do your CBT, tell the training school that you're thinking of doing so, and see if you can blag a quick go on a 600cc+ training bike.
That'll help you make up your mind sharpish. I can assure you that you won't want to go back to a commuter 125 after that.
If you decide to ignore that advice and buy a 125 instead, I'd urge you not to even sit on anything bigger under you're ready to get licensed up, as you'll instantly have buyer's regrets. ____________________ Biking is 1/20th as dangerous as horse riding.

There's no benefit to wobbling around with L plates, that's for kids who're not old enough to get a big boys license.
Do what Roger said.
(Roger, you missed the opportunity to say that the CBT isn't a test ) |

Can confirm...
Spent 4 years on CBT (admittedly on a nippy 2 stoke. . . . .).
Did full test and wouldn't bother going back.
Bigger bikes are easier to ride, handle better and you can get a lot more bike for your money! First big bike was a 98 cbr6, £600 and didn't want much over basic maintenance (and a spray job ), then tracked it and sold it the next year. |

I did my CBT today, the 125 I was put on was too small for my leg length, so as a treat and I mentioned I already had riding esp and looking to do my A licence, I was put on a 500cc lol, yep much easier to ride . So me and my stepson will get more exp on our 125 and do our a next year. I had a look thinking a large cc bike would be expensive, but on looking at insurance a 650cc fully comp and no access I can insure for £60 for the year lol.its worth looking into in near future. |
