Hi all, similar situation to the OP here, but a whipper snapper in comparison (I'm 42 ) My CBT is booked for the end of June having never ridden before. Really umming and ahhing on the buy a 125 for practice Vs just going for it on the DAS. Problem is I'm impatient and will want to get out on the roads to practice/experience riding after my CBT before the school would have a chance to book me in for a DAS with the current backlog. Weighing up the options to try and maximise experience for the least amount of money. I could buy second hand for under a grand, buy a new, cheap Chinese bike like the Lexmoto LXR, or buy a new KTM Duke 125 or similar and then sell after passing. Or I could just be patient and wait for the DAS |

I did mine at 38 after being talking into it by the wife, id never been on a bike before
The only advice I can give is if you find anything difficult on the CBT dont let it put you off completely, half way through mine I wasnt enjoying it and had resigned myself to, oh well, ive given it a go, its not for me, and i didnt feel ready to be out on the road lol, but once we were out, i then understood why people ride bikes, best summed up by someone who i work with, 'freedom', it just feels amazing to be out in the fresh air riding about
I bought a used 125 to use between lessons and i dont regret it, i could likely sell it now for what i paid for it about 8 months ago and its helped me practice what im being taught, especially with all the lockdowns |
