One man's retro cool is another man's memory of a pizza delivery job. The C90 is a decent runaround for town, but now they're cool they will be getting lifted onto vans and disappeared on a more regular basis. I was given one 10 years ago by the taxi driver who lived over the road, he'd done his knowledge on it 10 years before and stored it under a tarp. I gave it to a neighbour who needed transport and he sold it to a dealer for £150 (like an idiot).
Think about the CG125, it's a decent real bike with gears and everything about it is economical, if you want a scooter (i.e. C90 type, it is basically a scooter) the SH125 is a decent scooter. Not sure if you can ride a 2 stroke 125 sports on your license but that would be the perfect proper biker initiation, by that I mean hours of oily maintenance work and constant parts bills.
