    Hi all,
    Looking for some advice on what to get for a new learner. It’s a toss up between a new Honda CB125r or a Yamaha MT125a.
    Any preferences or feed back?

    Cant comment on the virtues of either bike except that the mt is physically a bit bigger, but a friend selling his sons 16 reg mt125, think about 2700 or so, they are quite pricey new

    My son got his first bike, a 125, last year. I found all the main brands are incredibly overpriced. Up to 5k for a 125 ????

    So, started looking at alternatives. Considering all 125s are actually the same power thats not a decider anyway.

    We decided on and were going for a Keeway RKR when at the last minute a very recent Benelli BN125 came up. Its made by Keeway anyway, so its just a cooler looking bike.

    Can't fault it tbh, and the quality is good.

    Considering none of the 'Japanese' 125s are actually made in Japan anyway (Thailand. Indonesia etc) then there's no need to look elsewhere.

    Ode To The Motorist

    “And my existence, while grotesque and incomprehensible to you, generates funds to the exchequer. You don't want to acknowledge that as truth because, deep down in places you don't talk about at the Green Party, you want me on that road, you need me on that road. We use words like freedom, enjoyment, sport and community. We use these words as the backbone of a life spent instilling those values in our families and loved ones. You use them as a punch line. I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain myself to a man who rises and sleeps under the tax revenue and the very freedom to spend it that I provide, and then questions the manner in which I provide it. I would rather you just said "thank you" and went on your way. Otherwise I suggest you pick up a bus pass and get the ********* ********* off the road”
