it depends on where you want to ride in uk.
Get something like a 100cc instead, they're cheaper to buy and insure. I have a Yamaha RXS100 and it is fantastic. If you really want a 125 then Honda CG125s are well respected (reliable, cheap and easy to get bits for, etc).
kmx or a dt
the wee cg is horrible little bike!
better still just go for direct access and save your cash for a bigger bike ( hire 125 for test)
There are some cheap 125s on eBay that are copies of Honda 125s but 33% of the price, work on the basis that your first bike will be wrecked within a couple of years and if you like it buy something better after that, when you have your big bike licence.
I tried the Honda CBR125R a while back. That was a hoot.
There is a horse power limit but as large a bike as you are comfortable with - physical size and encine cc - my wife sat hers on a 535 virago with exellent results - the bike was more stable and confidence was boosted - very important in the early days ! - . You dont have to be restricted to a 125 these days - Cautionary note though dont skimp on protection - buy the best gear you can afford and never a second hand helmet - good luck and safe riding .
NEW RS 125, RACING TECHNOLOGY
1. POWER AND RELIABILITY
The liquid cooled, single cylinder, two-stroke RS125 is the technical reference point for all other 125 cc supersports. Derived directly from Aprilia’s experience on the world’s GP racetracks, the RS 125 is totally reliable on the road and aggressively powerful on the track, thanks to advanced technology like crankcase reed valve induction and a vibration damping counter-shaft. The RS 125 is even homologated to Euro 2 standards, because performance and respect for the environment really can go hand in hand.
2. RACE-WINNING AGILITY
The RS 125’s sophisticated and lightweight frame is developed from the superb racing frames of Aprilia’s amazing 125 GP bikes. It is made from polished aluminium alloy, guarantees extremely high torsional rigidity, and delivers maximum control and agility under racing conditions.
3. COMFORT AND SAFETY
The upside down fork has been completely re-designed, as has the rising rate rear suspension. The result is performance, safety, and an impressive level of comfort in daily commuting as in racetrack use. The brakes are completely new too and represent the pinnacle of world production. At the front, the RS 125 boasts a four-piston, radial caliper front brake with aeronautical metal braided brake hose and a 320 mm floating disc. The 220 mm rear disc unit also features aeronautical metal braided hose for precise, balanced and powerful, GP style braking.
4. RACING WHEELS
The ‘Y’ spoke alloy wheels have six spokes at the front and five at the rear. These low weight, high strength wheels are fitted with tubeless radial tyres for unrivalled agility with guaranteed road-holding under all conditions.
5. GP SWINGARM
One of the most prestige components on the new RS 125 is its die-cast aluminium alloy swingarm. In addition to guaranteeing the highest degree of torsional rigidity of any production 125, the swingarm’s special design also lets you lean further than ever without touching the asphalt.
6. ADVANCED AERODYNAMICS
Aggressive, streamlined, and breathtakingly beautiful, the new RS 125 is born to win. Its styling is the result of advanced research into aerodynamics and extensive wind tunnel testing. It should come as no surprise, therefore, that the RS 125 affords excellent wind protection, and minimum air resistance. Everything about it is made for speed, from the latest generation, twin headlight nose fairing to the tail, with its aggressive, streamlined, integrated seat and powerful rear light cluster.
7. RACING INSTRUMENTATION
The compact and lightweight new instruments incorporate all the functions of a real racing unit, including an analog rev counter and a multi-functional digital display with handlebar controls to operate the tachometer, trip counter, battery voltage meter, clock and 20 lap timer, coolant temperature gauge and fuel reserve indicator.
