If I had to switch to a geared bike I’d pick the Varadero, looks great for a 125. I passed my car test back in the days when you did 30 minutes round the block and that was about it. Always hated driving, was determined to pass the test, and once I did it that was that 😄

​@@scottishzoomer Yeah it is really nice. My first ride on it (8 mile commute) was a bit of a culture shock because it weighs a tonne and I'd never done gears on a bike before, but once you get used to it you can filter just like on a scooter and the power is way more - I'm 20+stone and still blow away my smaller friends on their 4 stroke scooters. Also you can take speedbumps and potholes at 50mph no problem. They are expensive though, my 19yo Varadero (7k miles very good condition) was the same price as a brand new Aprilia SRGT or CBF125

All good here thanks, just need some better weather

@@scottishzoomer I tend to be 'weather neutral'........

I passed my car test after getting lessons for my 21st birthday back in the 1980’s. The test was a lot simpler in those days. Never enjoyed driving a car and once I’d passed the test hardly ever did it again 😄

I don’t think you’ll be disappointed
