very busy dual carriage way
Yeah skinny's mainly right.
I used to do a stretch of a busy dual carriage way on my 125. It was doable, but not great. Mine was fairly quick too and would happily sit at 50-60mph, after that though your ringing it's neck slowly to get that last 50-60mph.
I'm assuming if the whole journey is 5 miles then it's not too long on a 125cc. Ultimately you'll only be able to find out by doing it.
If I were you I'd do your CBT then rent a bike. I can't remember who it was, but someone on here did this to practice for their full licence. I remember thinking at the time that their net cost of renting was lower and less hassle than me buying my 125.

I did. Rented for a week to get my head around the clutch being operated by my left hand rather than foot. I think it was £300 for the week and obviously didn't have to worry about insurance or tax etc. Petrol is pennies. Then did my DAS in 3 days

Like 5 miles. It goes down a very busy dual carriage way though.
We do have several Treadwell Neo ebikes and a a Cake bike at work that we can borrow though, which i will from time to time, but dont want to have to rely on them. I'd love an electric bike like the Cake bike, but they are ridiculously expensive.
I'll also be using my road bike a few days a week when i want to go for a ride before/after work.
