Default Anyone recommend a good 125cc for learning on?

I'm taking my CBT next month and am looking for a basic and easy to ride 125cc that I can get used to.

What would people recommend? Only stipulations are that its learner legal (obvious i spose) and that it's a 4 stroke. I've been looking at stuff like CG125's etc.

Views and recommendations appreciated

My first one was a KMX 125, second a TSR 125 tw great bikes. If I was starting ou again it would b a Honda XL125V Varadero.

Gives you better view of your surrounding as your higher up then a croach rocket and more foregiving but you can still through it around. Great bike all round.

depends if you're planning to keep it or just use it for the test..

if it's the latter just get a cheap CG125 or equivilant do your test and then sell it on for the same money.

If you're gonna keep it a while then get something nicer.. some good suggestions already..

Aprilia RS125, I had the 50 version when I was 16 and loved it!
