Do you have a main dealer or a used bikes dealer nearby?
Cumbria is too far away or I’d say come visit Swindon. Lots of London customers buy in Swindon and have a (mate of mine) courier deliver the bike to London town. Apparently it saves hundreds vs buying in the big city.
If nothing else the benefit of the shops is sitting on the bikes and seeing what fits you and what just looks like crap.

Can anyone offer some recommendations for a first “big” bike. Got my DAS booked in over the next month or two, and figured now was a good time to set up some eBay saved searches.
Main criteria are -
Sub 750cc (no interest in going particularly fast and I enjoy the 80+ mpg of the 125)
Ideally around the £2k-£2.5k mark.
Suitable for the potholed gravelly Cumbrian roads I ride on.
Simple enough to service and troubleshoot without an electrical engineering degree.
TIA
