Thanks for the replies, I will have a look into the manual!

Looking for some advice, am new to biking and am looking at getting a bit hands on with my bike, i'm after some easy jobs (even if they're pointless) that i can do to my bike. Thanks.

Naked bikes are fine as long as they have a bit of weight to them . I've done two 1600 mile tours of Scotland on my little ER5 with no issues at all . Agreed,.it will be nothing like riding your 125 ah really? That's definitely good to know. Thanks for your help

Looks like a good shout, Do they still make those or been discontinued?

The Kawasaki will be much better protection wise. Im not the best person to ask because I only ride for fun rather than commuting so wind protection isn't something I really worry about. A CBR 500 will give you the looks and be a bit more beginner friendly. Never ridden one so can't vouch for fun factor but will be reliable. 155932_2019_cbr500r.jpg If you want to try something that will change your mind about caring what it looks like you'd could try a VRF800X. Not a looker but a great "do everything" bike guaranteed to make you smile. HondaCrossrunnerReview6661.jpg This is all making me want to buy another bike I won't be commuting for work, Will just be for fun after work and on weekends, i will need to travel on Dual-carriageways occasionally but not often. A naked may be absolutely fine for this, i just have no experience to go off of. I definitely like the sport bike look the most though. Go and get one

Love the look of the Kawasaki and the triple.Would the triple give enough wind protection on dual carriageway? The Kawasaki is the exact style i have in my head though, what would other brands equivalent to this be? Thank you.

Maybe something to ease me in a bit first

i will be buying on finance so a new or 1-3 year old bike. Haven't decided on a budget as of yet mate.

Hi there, Been riding a few months on a GSX-S125. Have my motorbike test booked for a couple of months when this has all blown over. I'm looking for advice on what type of bike to buy (not necessarily specific models). I will be riding mainly on A road doing around 60 mph. But occasionally motorway riding, never for more than half an hour at a time. I cannot imagine doing this on a naked as i'm currently being blown all which way on my little naked. I don't know if this is due to my bike having no fairings or because it is small or because i haven't been riding long and am not used to it. So any help on the right bike type for me would be great. P.S I do really love the look and style of sports bikes and naked bikes so preferably that stylingish.
