Just bought a aprilia 125 bike much like this blue one 
Haven't done my CBT yet - but will get round to it. I got my bike cheap coz its not in the best of condition's but I see it as a good project - mine's black atm, but its got some scratches and stuff on the side where its been dropped so I'm thinking about rubbing it all down, smoothing it all out and painting it something else... Maybe Ferrari Red or something? - dunno.
Anyone else got a bike?

Is it me or is there not a chain on that bike?
Used to have a TS125 about 9 years ago.

Its the old style - basically the guy's son had it, hardly used it and then left it in their shed for ages... Went to start it to sell it and didn't realise he had no oil in there - seized the engine... then dropped the price by a LOT.
My dad restores bikes as a hobby and he said it'd be no problem to get it running and it just needs a few touch ups on the body work - though we might be respraying the lot for a laugh.
31 bhp standard and only 129kg - its a fair bit faster than your poxy 50cc mr OJC
Plus while the engine's off my dad's looking at smoothing all the ports out and such to make it go even better.
To be honest - I don't really care what it goes like atm, as it'll be my first bike... erm, arn't you supposed to be limited to 12 bhp or something till you pass 
Should be doing 0-60 in under 7 seconds, as thats the same as the modern Aprilia RS's and Cagiva Mito's which all put out around 34 bhp when de-restricted.
I see it as a v.cheap way to get myself a nice looking bike, imo some of the really modern Aprilia RS's - looking too plasticy and curvy. This looks like a proper bike.
