CBT/DAS Couse in Reading. What bike for a new rider?

Hey my sister now wants a bike, just awesome

First off I need to know of a place where she can go in Reading or near by to learn. I want the best instructor's I want to know she will be safe out there on the road. (big bro looking out for her)

Okay should she go staight for DAS or buy a 125 and ride that for a few months then test, around August?

I was thinking of a CBR 125, nice little bike they are quick enough and are good bikes.

Let me know your thought on this. Someone where to get the cbt done. I may have some gear that I'll give her if it fits.

I just bought a cagiva planet for Missyc, the CBR125 is dull by comparison to any of the 2-smokes

Whooo 2 smokes baby!!

clean it, rag it, blow it up, rebuild it, the cycle starts again!!

Definately... you arent a real biker until you have owned/blown up/re-build an RS125..... FACT!

Try lightning in Reading Chris. Thats where the wife did hers and she couldnt speak highly enough of them.

don't know about any instuctors in reading i'm from wales, but can recommend the cbr 125 as a learner bike. i had one for a year nice little bike, it 's great for commuting and will get you to 80mph with the wind behind you. if you do decide to get one check it's not an import they have a different ignition coil to european bikes and you'll have to change it.


tell your sis good luck on the cbt/das whichever and be safe!!!

Out of curiosity, why?

something to do with the fact that in winter we have a lot more salt on the roads and the coil can corrode, that's what honda told me anyway.

Part of a jap bike corroding in winter? Fancy that!?!

How is the "uk specced" coil made immune to 6 months of salt and wet then?
