ok let me start by saying i cant find a forum about motorcycles so im posting it here
im in the uk im 19 i have a decent job so in january like the 20th im going to do my CBT
this allows young people aged 17 and over to get a 125cc motorcycle and legally be allowed to ride it on the road with a provisional license, im going to be financing the bike as i dont have a straight 4.5k to spend on it,which leads me to my question what should i get first in your guys opinions bike 1, 2 or 3

Bike 1:
Yamaha YZF R125

either the Yamaha or KTM both pretty solid for reliability, i would steer away from the cheaper imports as they tend to just fall apart.

Hope that helped.

it helps but the only thing is the import is cheaper, and parts are fairly easy to get

KTM is the best overall motorcycle manufacturer today, although they are more expensive they are better.

IMO I'd go with the KTM if you have the moeny, but the Yamaha should be good aswell, very reliable.

I've always been bias towards Honda and Yamaha.
Family members and friends have always stuck with those brands.

I know a few people who had YZFs and they all loved them, so I'd go with that if I were you.

I really like KTM but I would probably go with the Yamaha. Things are built to last man.
