Me too, but found out, you only have to do a day's teaching to get a cbt or something. and then you can ride

Engines are very frail, rebuild every 8-10k miles or so, lad I know had one

mine was fun - had a rossi replica. but it was a pain in the arse, always had something wrong with it - and it wasdnt as if I didnt take care of it. it had new oil; filters; seals and sparkies and so on every 6-8 months and it still ran like a bag of spanners sometimes.
when they run well - they're a good bike, but they take a lot of looking after compared to others
personally Id go for a cagiva mito 125

I gotta agree with the mito comment, these bikes look gorgeous...
Yummy - though a top speed of 74 mph aint wonderful hehe... and the high pitch sound your bound to get when you ride it fast...
for a 125 its nice, if it was me I'd be looking at a 500 Honda CBR or something.
You'll soon feel a 125 is too slow.

the thing I like about the cagiva mito and even the racing replica aprilia 125 I sat on at 'on your bike', is that they look like bigger bikes... They have wide tyres, full bodywork etc... rather than being skinny 50cc put puts...
Also I think its 74.6 mph top speed when limited - derestricted (bigger carb etc) allows a lot more I believe.
prefere it in red - you can see this has been dropped...

Cagiva's are all fairings...thats why they look like a bigger bike...im sorry but what is the point in having a bike which only does just over 75 mph...your better off going for a 250cc or something like that to start with...maybe a kawasaki ninja GPX 250
