Discussion
right, i have shortlisted the bikes i want to two.
a brand spanking new 2008 CBR125R on finance with 0% for 2 years. £2700 total payable but comes with 2 year warrenty. (plus services for 2 years i think, but dont hold me to that)
or
a 1993 NRS125 with 28000 miles for £945, no warranty or anything, its from a private seller. have to get a loan which i might not even be approved for.
help me deside, i know the CBR might be a bit pricey for a first bike, but it comes with the added warranty for 2 years and finance, plus i probably will keep it after i pass my DAS and get a big bike as a spare so would like something that is good to live with.
(both will be on fully comp btw so if i bin it down the road it 'SHOULD' be replaced)
help please

at least a few months while i get used to riding, i will be using it to get to a job, so a while, im not to bothered about selling it because after i start work i will just save and buy another bigger bike outright and keep the 125 for when its breaks/i bin it or i am working on it and i need a part.
probably 6 months or more.

ahh yes i agree a bit with what you say.
but there is something i like with being able to push a bike/car/pushbike to its limits, and a 125 you can, whereas either the RVF400 or ninja i am going to get when i pass you cant really push them to the limits on roads without coming a cropper or as easy

umm...ok....
think like this, a 1.1 fiesta take a lot to go anywere and say.... an audi RS4 will, to get the same speed only need a little bit.
same for cornering, the fiesta will only go so fast round a corner whereas the audi will corner the same speed with ease.
i think i have kinda explained what i ment.

aye, think i will go with the NSR125 or TZR125, both about the same sort of power, and learn a bit of spanner work.
it will prolly work out better in the long run if i learn a bit about how to service and work on bikes and not spend too much on a first bike as, as you said it will just be gathering dusk when i get a big bike and loose money that i dont have to spend out in the first place.
