I want to buy a 125 moped I would welcome any views on the best type/model to get?

Also any suggestions on whch web-site to source a second hand one would be appreciated.

Answers:
Go for a Aprila 125RS. they go like a rocket and look very smart.. !! and will do 100mph ..! and will leave bigger bikes standing on the bends..
I know,, i was well piss off when one made me look like crap on my GSXR-750RR..!! ..
Good luck mate..Ride Safe..
Bike trader on auto trader is really good. and friday-ad.com. If you are getting a recent one, make sure its no more than three years old, and if you getting a vintage.. vespa is always best. have a look and compare prices!

good luck
ebay!
Check the scooter forums on Yahoo here. It depends on how much you want to spend.
There are cheaper Chinese 150cc scooters for under $1000 these days.
Benelli 125 or Gilera 125 or Honda and use ebay real bargains
I thought that mopeds had to be 50cc?

get something Japanese or a Peugeot
By definition a moped must be under 50cc and has to have an alternative method of propulsion, i.e. pedals like a cycle. It there are no pedals like a cycle then it is classified as a motorbike irrespective of engine size. A moped can be ridden but someone from the age of 16 but with a motorbike the age limit is 17.
Don't get a 'ped!. Or an aprilla RS125. Get a Honda CBR 125. The Honda was the biggest selling bike across europe last year coz it's bullit proof, learner friendly and much more reliable than the 2 stroke Aprilla.
Get a Cagiva Mito. they are gorgeous and very nippy! And (someone correct me if im wrong) the guy who designed some of the Ducati bikes designed this one.so, you can see where it gets its good looks from.
Ours never broke down or had a problem with it in the 3 years we had it xx
Happy biking!
