Thanks! I hadn’t really planned to own anything smaller than 250, but it made sense the more I thought about it. Cut my teeth (hopefully not literally) on a small engine, get the hours in.
Then I can ride it to the DAS lessons when they happen, get my license, continue playing on the little motor, and get a big boy bike when the right one comes along.
The alternative of sitting on nothing for months after the CBT feels like wasted opportunity.

Good luck with that

I bought a CBF125 when I got my CBT.
Ironing out the teething issues of riding a motorbike (changing gears instinctively, not panicking if I have to give it a fist full of right hand; either stopping or going) on a little bike was the right choice (for me)I have a theory test revision book, if your anywhere near Laindon Essex, or Whittington hospital.

Good move - I'm sure we'll be able to help if you have problems.

Good way to do it, personally I reckon a few months to a year on a 125 is a great idea before doing DAS.
I had been riding motorbikes on and off road since I was a kid, including almost killing myself on a moped when I was 17... I did about 8 months or so on a 125 commuting 40 mile round trip daily then passed DAS with 3 lessons, 3 days later set off to Portugal on an NTV650.
