| Learning to Ride Edited... Hey guys I'm doing my CBT after my last week of term. So, I was wondering if anyone had any advice on 125cc bikes. I'm looknig to spend around £500-1000. I've had my eye on the Cagiva mito and the Aprilia RS125.....both seem to sell second hand for about £500-1000 though the Mito is fairly rare so more expensive...any advice or opinion would be greatly appreciated! Cheers fellas. Sorry the post went weird!

| I'd go for the Aprilia. Also, rare bike = parts may be hard to come by.

| If you're starting with anything like a bike / car / boat you want some thing cheap, common and reliable. Go for whatever fits that the best

| Personally I'd try and get a 4 stroke like the Honda CBR 125, it might not be as fast but the engine isn't so fragile, has lower emissions and is quieter

| I agree with the 4 stroke. A much longer life cycle. A little easier on plugs and general maintenance. Should have more bottom end torque for low RPM power as apposed to high RPM screaming.

| Yeah... if you don't anything about 2 stroke engines you WILL kill yours. 4 stroke for newbies is the way to go.

| Remember to get yourself some decent body protection to go with the bike. It's quite fast and you're very vulnerable, that's a dangerous combination.

| by all means, 4 stroke. you will enjoy the quiet torque, the LOW maintenance and lower insurance rates. it is still fast enough to get hurt. Ron

| Especially if you want to putz around or arent into speed. A 2 stroke is not really meant for the faint of heart. Go to easy on them and you'll foul the plugs damn quick. I have a yz125 and bikes like that are suppose to be pegged in every gear unless your slowing down. not much low end torque, but still has a better top end. definetly low maintanence. I've had to have my top end rebuilt twice now and 2 new rear sprockets. 4 stroke, CBR 125...no arguement there.
