    If you're 17 and have done your theory test & your IBT then there's no reason why you wont be able to get insured on a 125. Some companies don't insure younger drivers, but there's always someone who will. Your best bet is to ring them yourself and try and get a quote. I know adelaide usually dont, but Liberty are a good place to start. Then try Aon and Carole Nash etc.

    Get a four stroke non-sportsbike 125 for a year if you can't get insured. Might not be as cool as the rs but it'll do for a start.

    NSR will be the same grouping as the RS.

    Try Liberty. They're basically the only choice for young lads at the moment.

    before you buy the next bike, find someone who will quote you on it first, and get a reference number

    I've an '03 Honda Cityfly sitting in the shed here. PM me if you've any interest.

    As the man above says, check with the insurance company before you consider it!

    When I went to get my first bike in 2008, a couple of garages put me off going for an NSR125 as they were very hard to find parts for, since they haven't been produced since 2001. Not sure how true it was, but found it weird that they would put me off buying bikes that they were selling.

    All I was looking for was something small with a nice look about it. Ended up with a big Varadero 125!

    125 sport replicas are notoriously hard to get insured on!

    Best to start with a different type of bike for a year or two.
