    My first bike!!!!

    Finally bought myself a bike, yet to do my CBT but i can do that shortly .
    Was about to by a broken Honda Xr 125 (06) but the deal went sour and then my dad spotted a Suzuki En 125.

    Its an 07 model, 4000miles and i got it for £800 which considering the condition its great (been garaged !).

    Heres some pics of it, sorry its stuck in the garage or else the pictures would be better :L.







    I think it looks great especially since i never really considered road bikes, i liked the off roads like DRZ's etc but the pricing is just way to high and this is actually better looking!.

    Insurance seems reasonable, £215 from Bennetts so will get that insured after i do my CBT.
    Anyone know how much the whole process is? CBT/Theory/Test?.

    Re: My first bike!!!!

    CBT is about 90 quid depending

    Direct access your looking at 200+, best bet is to check out the local bike schools

    BTW nice colour, looks a lot like a Yam YBR125.....

    Re: My first bike!!!!

    CBT is £100 , rang surepass a few days ago. The design looks very modern which suprised me cause most road bikes seem to keep the old style, cg125 stuff and that doesnt look to great.

    Am happy with it and just trying to learn highway code now, all the years of not being observant were wasted!.
