Dunno, I use stone/inches when i'm being imprecise and SI when I want to actually make any sense

I'd type my pc specs out all fancy again but teh mods would remove it. Again.

If you already have a drivers license a cbt doesn't expire for bikes up to 125cc, otherwise it lasts only 2 years before you have to do it again/pass a full test You just have to ride with L plates on. If you only want a 125 commuter that is your best and cheapest bet I'd say.

I'd go for a 125 for short rides maybe, not like it's going to be any safer I've got a friend who managed to come off his 50cc bike twice in a week.

I might be wrong, to be honest I don't know my weight but I thought that was it.

If you are over 21yo just do DAS and buy a big bike mate. The best way to biking.

125cc is slow, cannot really go long distance without killing it. And it normally looks shit

I hate highsiders. That old GSXF of mine didn't have a steering damper so I also had a shitload of wobbling on with 100kmh< speeds. They were good wake up calls tho

I did the license test on a Honda VTR250. They're pretty solid bikes - they've got some respectable amount of guts and are easy as hell to ride.

Personally, I'd go for a 250 rather than a 125, but since you're a skinny runt I dont think it matters that much.

Definitely find a motorbike learning center that lets you ride their bikes and use their gear. You can talk to the instructors and they'll usually have pretty good advice on what suits you the best. If its just commuting on relatively low-speed areas, there shouldnt be any need to go bigger than a 250.

Just remember not to use the front break during a turn. EVER! You will fall.
