option 1 from me, an old cheap 125 is your best bet as you will drop your first bike trust me i did 3 times.

i think 125s are over priced for what they are, you can pick up a 400/500 in pretty good nick for about the same price. so id say option 2

    1) Have you got your licence?

    2) If not, are you prepared to stump up £3-500 in a lump sum to pass yor test?

    3) Are you under 21 (you mention a 400cc)?


How did you answer?

Yes, -, yes: Buy a 400cc if licence less than 2 years
Yes, -, no: Buy a 600cc
No, yes, yes: Do an intensive bike course and buy a 400cc
No, yes, no: Do DAS and buy a 600cc
No, no, yes: Buy a 125cc
No, no, no: Change your answer to number 2 - do DAS

Depends on your age aswell and if you have road experience in a car (makes a big differnce being able to read the road )
You get 30% no claims after 1 year which makes a big differnce !
