Im thinking of taking my cbt at the age of 30 just for a weekend bike and a pleasure run around, i quite like the 125cc supermoto's can anybody point me in the right direction of getting on the road for sub 2k? I like the look of the sinnis apache, are they any good?

    Supermoto is a form of motorsport that uses bikes that are based on motocross bikes but with road wheels, tyres brakes and road tuned suspension, generally, they are for competition use and not road legal

    Customizers copied the style and bike manufacturers copied the customizers to produce road legal, supermoto- style bikes

    With a supermoto-style 125 you get a bike that looks big but has road tyres - the low-speed handling and agility is good, like round town - my personal opinion is a 125 is ok round town etc but underpowered on the open road, bikes are dangerous but underpowered ones are even more dangerous if you are at the mercy of the traffic etc - ive not been on a bike for years and when i see one on the road i feel its so exposed - i considered getting an old fireblade and doing it up but common sense (and self preservation) prevailed

    Do you have to have a 125 / does it have to be restricted? or can you have a bigger bike like a 400?

    minimoto are the little bikes

    I'm 30, and done my CBT last Sunday. I'm going for the full ticket though, got my theory soon then going on to do module 1 and the module 2.

    Not really going to bother with a 125 in between time. I'd recommend doing your module 1
