Just curious, seeing as I'm 18 and also consiering an RS125. How did you go about doing the test and everything, and how did you find it all?

[18aprilia]

well i went to P&H bike in brighton to go buy the bike, put deposite down, did my theroy test passed first time, and didnt pass my pratical test failed that twice now but will be taking it again when my confidence builds up. but thats pretty much it.

Hermand, have a read through this thread, it cover about CBT's and licenses and what you can do with them.

[hermand]

I've read that Ste, and I knew 90% before. I was just thinking about some of the finer details. For example, should I just do a weekend thing and get my full test out of the way on a hire bike, so i've done it.

Etc etc.

[Ste]

I would say do a training course and then your test is a good idea, if not just to get your two year 33bhp clock ticking. There is also the good arguement that getting your own 125 and spending some time on your CBT getting used to riding on a smaller bike is a good idea so really its up to you to decide if you want to do an intensive course and then the test, or if you want to get a 125 and use that for a few months. You could also do the intensive course, your test so you have the full license and stay with the 125 for a bit if you want to, your insurance will be a bit cheaper and you can carry pillions & use motorways.

Etc. etc? I'm afraid I cannot mind read your questions, so the best way to get answers it to ask them.

Hi Ross

I bought exactly the same bike as you and picked it up the other week. Went for a quick spin around the block on it Friday to see what she's like and its the absolute best thing ever I'm glad as well I waited for that colour scheme to come out. I paid about £3,400 for mine which did'nt seem to bad a price. How do you find it on hills though as I seem to have to rev the nuts off mine to stop it from stalling?

[18aprilia]

same lol, u must give it plenty of revs lol, mines going in for its first servive soon, so they should open her up abit more, where abouts you live? im from brighton
