Depends really.

If you intend moving to a bigger bike, like a Ninja250 like Foxy did then save yourself a grand and get a CG125 or YBF-125 as a learner bike. It will also hold value better when you come to re-sell, those bikes if bought second hand can often be sold for the same as they were bought for.

Also means if you drop it you wont have fairings etc to worry about.

Then in a year or so, chuck the saved cash at a big bike.

If you are intending on keeping the 125 for a while then thats a different matter.

I think the R125 looks better - Honda did a cack job of scaling the CBR down - the front fairing looks TOO shrunk for the size of lights on it.
