CBT passed so a what bike.

Now I have passed the cbt I want to change from a 100cc honda lead scooter to a new bike.
My wife has lost her touch and forgot to say no when I said I am going to buy a new bike this weekend,So I am taking that as a 'ok you have my full and total blessing to spend our money on a new shiny thing'. Sooo with this in mind I have been looking online and at lots of reviews etc and have decided I do not know what kind of bike I want.

budget is set at £2700 at the most and will be to get me to work and the odd trip to the shops,Will use the car for trips that my wife says I need to take her on.

So far I have narrowed it down to 3 bikes, a honda cbf 125, a yamaha ybf 125 (both £2700 on 4.9% credit) or a piaggio fly 125 scooter.(£2400 and 0%)

I do fancy the scooter route for ease of driving it to work in the morns and the storage and the fun or it being a scooter, But my head is saying to go geared bike due to being slightly quicker.

Any other bike I should be looking at?

I had decided on the ybr but I have just been offered a 09 CBF with 6500 miles MOT and tax until april for the princly sum of £1,100
with a proper protected jacket and suit, proper boots,a helmet that cost him £150,a rain cover and tank bag.

Will be buying it tomorrow(well have to give him £300 deposit with rest on monday tbh) But I think its a bit of a bargain with a brucey bonus on top tbh.

I already have my own gear but its always handy to have a just in case spare set of gear I suppose is my thinking, Plus the bike is cheap with a known owner to me. It just a right place right time thing i suppose
