If you passed your car test before 2001 then you can ride a 50 without doing a CBT.

There proper mint bike's i've been in love with them since they came out. You can still buy them but at around 12k for a fuel injected one. Lot of bike for the cash though

they are great bikes and for me i just love 2 strokes so much so i converted a monkey bike to tzr 125 power it will do over a tonne and on 10" wheels that feels plenty fast enough who needs a fireblade

the RS125 is a cracker but can be troublesome use decent 2 stroke oil, warm it up before thrashing and change oil regularly and you should be ok.
word of warning my neighbour just come off his rs125 after hitting a pothole
3 broken ribs and a punctured lung........ ride safe lozi
and buy the proper gear and bloody use it as if the worst happens it could poss save your life
