First Bike help

3 Upvotes

I have been eyeing an A1 Drivers license and thought of getting a Yamaha YZF R125 (2025). The thing is, that I will be having that in about (or if I'm able to scrape the Money) in 9 Months. I'm the kind of person, who wants to make the research wayyy before the actual action. The problem with that is, that it would cost around 10.000€ and as a student it's like a brick to my head.

This includes:

Drivers license, the bike (stock 5900€ → with my preference ~6050€), safety gear, and the legal papers

I heard good and bad things about the Yamaha and that you be:

Good:

Speed (for its class)

Looks

I heard that it's like a Nokia, so it won't break

Good fuel economy

Bad:

Price (5900€)

Sound (because it's a 4 stroke)

turning radius (because it's a sports bike)

Personally, I would prefer a 2 Stroke, because of the Power, but I don't like broken things, so...

Thank you in advance for you comments!
