Any reviews on the following bikes?

Cagiva mito
Cagiva Mito SP
Aprilla rs ( maybe older but hopefully newer shape)
Yamaha yzf-r125

or any other good 125 sports bikes?

i am looking at what to go next and am unsure of what to go for, money all depends on work, as i do not have a job at the moment exept a lousy paper round what pays crap, but hopefully i will get one soon, however i am likely to get a newer one of these mofels but older model reviews im happy to lisen to thanx, and im just unsre whats best.

thanx
chad

All the first 3 you'll have to be careful with as most of them will be destricted so are illegal for use as a learner!

Also they attract a certain type of owner so most older ones will have been thrashed bashed and crashed.

If your money strings will stretch that far, I would go for the YZF - it's designed to be learner legal and it's a four stroke so should be more reliable but they are a lot of money!

yea well i was going to do my restricted access so i could have de-restriced if i did pass that. and also the yzf is abit of a push due to money, and i have an interview soon but thats not to say i will have a job 100%. and i totaly agree with the top 3. but thanx :)

I would recommend the Honda Melody, it has a basket on the front, so you would not have to give up the papaer round.

have you considered the honda CBR125, a friend of mine had one, quite fun, like a mini moto on me, or honda Xr125 something like that?
the CBR always seemed reliable until he parked it in the back of a lorry, and my XR125 never starts but thats an excuse not to go out on it

i own a honda XR125, sorry about that

ive made a decisision lol. and the mito is expensive for the age of bike most probably due to their speed, but i will keep my fast bikes for my motocross, and im looking at the yamama xt125 as they a good price for the age of them meaning i would be getting a much newer bike for my money. but i could end up with something else as stranger things have happend. and thanx for your help everyone
