Default Offroad and Motocross bikes

So I've been thinking - I'd like to get a little 125cc offroady bike, partly because I'm missing being in the saddle and partly because I want to get some green-laning and offroad work under my belt, it looks fun

So, firstly, what are the good solid bikes to go for, and secondly roughly how much can I expect to pay for one? Just doing a bit of research at the moment seeing costings and things, seeing if I can actually afford it!

Cheers lads and ladies!

125 unless your looking at a 2 stroke id personally look for somthing a little bigger.

Possibly, don't know when I'll next be able to take my Mod 2, so might need to be learner-legal. But I'll consider the suggestion! Thanks

You'd think that wouldn't you... but then again I'm not famous for good ideas.

I was aiming at the 125 partly because I could ride it on my CBT and partly because it would cost a lot less to insure than something with a bigger capacity after I pass my test. And I'm pretty happy with the power of a 125
