Cheers for the replies. Varadero is a great looking bike but it seems it really will be out of his price range, especially bearing in mind £1200 is the upper upper limit, he can't really stretch that far anyway.

Alright, pros and cons about trials style bike?
He's getting a bike for fun, not necessity and he says he'll want to move onto a bigger bike, so the more he can learn from the 125 the better. I'm of the impression he'll get more valuable experience from something like a varadero or cbf than a wr125 or dtr?
