rs125 has 6 gears stuey, after reading some reviews though it doesnt sound the most reliable thing in the world and sounds like it breaks/prone to breaking alot.

there 33bhp if there de resitricted, something like 23bhp restricted.

also u cant just ride any bike upto 33bhp or a restricted bike to 33bhp just on a cbt, its only a 125 if 17 or over.

You need to do the restricted test but if ur over 21 you may aswell to the Direct access.

plue you wouldnt want to do a test on a RS125 and u will never be able to do a U turn on one, a CBR125 is a good 125 top go for.

cheers, tbh i think before i look into it anymore i think i need to actually go one one as a passenger to see if i even like being on a bike, i do like the idea of direct access as then i wouldnt be on a hair dryer and i cant see me acting like a retard on a bike.

personally i dont like going on the back of bikes but i ride them so i wouldnt say that is the best way, probs best off doing the cbt and see how you get on.

£110 ish for everything and you will find out then.

aslong as you act sensibly you will reduce ur risk majorly but its not just you, the main issue i ever found is cars pulling out on you.

I dont like to ride bike on the roads now due to a serious crash hence why i stick to moto x but it can be fun.
