I have booked my CBT. Soon I shall be able to ride a little 125cc bike to and from work. Then, in the spring, I shall take my bike test and treat myself to a nice little Honda NSR125. It is also a 125cc, but with 28 bhp from the 2-stroke engine and on such a light bike, it shifts.

Of course I could go for an even more powerful bike once I've completed my test, but I don't trust myself with it. Best to start with a smaller bike I feel.
