A friend of mine was in the same position a couple of years ago and I suggested something used, cheap and Japanese. We must of looked at 8+ bikes, all basket cases and not cheap either. Forgot how horrific 125 shopping is. In the end he bought a new CB125R brand new for £3,400 and the same dealership bought it back off him for £3,000 2(?) years later. The Honda seemed the best built of all the new bikes we looked at. Best of luck if you go down the used route.
