I'm really struggling to find anything that I don't have to hold on to for long financially speaking. At this point, as much as I hate to admit it, CBR's are the cheapest going bikes. I understand there's a constant demand for 125's, but it's kinda crazy that anything not in bad shape is around £1200+
I mean at this point, the bike will not be used as a commuter at all, that will always involve cycling. it'll be solely a weekend outing/riding experience to improve my skill for the future as you've said.
Anywhere more specific I should be looking? Gumtree only seems to yield the odd decent bike, but I shit you not, one AD for a CBF has someone charging 1500 for one and stated that his mum dropped the bike two days ago and damaged all the right hand side fairings. wtf.
What about yamaha dtrs as a first bike? not the cheapest but from the little research I did when I was thinking of doing my cbt was rated really highly as a first bike. Definitely likely to get knicked though I would've thought.
