Thanks James So many choices I know, but nowhere near as well as with the bigger bikes. As far as 125 goes, think practicability is the most important factor. Decide on the budget, have a look around at what is available within your price limit, go and have a look at them. Mileage I don't think should be an issue, as long as the bike has been looked after. It is a bonus if you get something you like the look of as well, but no doubt within months you will be itching for something bigger (faster). Let us know when you make a decision

Hi James, I am also 6"2 and ride a Suzuki GS125, which I find perfect in every way. Seating position is very comfortable, even on a long journeys, you can chuck it around the corners easily, no problems handling it. I am sure though that there are many newer bikes that others would recommend (Varadero I heard is good for tall people), but I can't comment as didn't even try any of them. I prefer old bikes, the look of them, plus they are easier and cheaper to put back together if inevitable happens Also think it is good to start with 125, if only to get to grips with basics.
