The advice given by the above is sound and i cannot add anymore apart from my experience with a CBR125 R4

I am 5ft 11" and the CBR 125 is a small bike - i looked a bit too big for it. But the bike is brilliant it is quick enough for city riding and you can chuck it around, as it has good grip and balance. It's not too quick on dual carridgeways as you'll only get around 65-70mph on a straight level road (depends on your weight as well).

It is very economical in petrol and insurance shouldn't be too much. There's not much space to carry stuff - so if your angling gear can fit into a back pack - forget anything else!! Maintenance is real easy as well.

So it really depends on wether you want the sports bike look or cruiser look.
