<{POST_SNAPBACK}><div class='quotemain'>how much would you be looking at to have a bike restricted ?? and then to have it reverted back a year later ?... Its an idea, but it might be worth me while
getting a scrapper 125, doing her up have me year on her and then flog her for a couple of quid profit.
sounds like a good idea right up until the time it comes to sell it on. then you realise its still just a 125.
put another way...
"you can polish a turd until it glistens in the sunlight, BUT its still a piece of ...."
IMO, get a scrapper, run it whilst doing as little to it as possible and then sell it on at the end of the year. hopefully you can get someone desperate enough to give you good money for it, but dont count on it. biking costs £'s, no matter what your mates ex-room mates sisters cousins ex-dog walker may say.
as for sports type 125s, remember that running costs will be higher. nsrs and mitos have fairings which do break. given that you will be learning, the chances of going down are high and an nsr fairing isnt much cheaper than say an R6 fairing even if its only a 125.

Looking to spend no more than £1000.
