Fancy trying something new, don't want a 50cc. Prob start on a 125cc then take my test after a few months. After that maybe a 400cc.

Any recommendations, tips or ideas?

It all depends on what size and age you are also if you have any experiance on bikes, whether is motocrossers of sports reps. A deristricted 125 is a pretty rapid bike but sounds like a hairdrier unfortunatly if your after sounds as well as looks then go for a 400, what kind of bike you thinkin on???

I'm 21, ridden a few bikes but only off road. Main reason is for commuting to work. After a sports rep. Few mates have 400's but don't fancy learning on one, bit too fast for little experience, I know i'll get fed up with a 125 before long tho

need to do

cbt
bike theory
lessons on 125 - then 125 test (then ur restricted to 125's)
or
lessons on 125 then on a 500 just before test, then do the 500 test, then you can ride any bike
