Get the latest edition of What Bike. Best value for money seems to be the Honda 125CG. They seem easy to drive and cheap to maintain.

I have a cheap chinese copy. The Skygo Titan 125cc. Which was dirt cheap at £600 brand new.

I have a KMX 125 that I am about to sell. Whereabouts are you and what's your budget?

Don't get a Honda CBR125, they make the riders look tiny, and its just a joke. I don't like bikes, but 2 of my friends have a Yamaha YBR125, and they look pretty decent (as far as bikes go ).

It looks nice, but all superbike models in 125 looks rediculous as they're just to small(physically and engine wise) to pull it off.

They are limited I was informed by the dealer today and retail at £2999.

It is a Yamaha YZF-R125 for your info...

I tend to agree with you on that, but haven't actually seen this one as they are hard to get hold of. If I think it doesn't look right I will just walk away...
