Everyone's trying to get from A_B, especially now he's giving up smoking!!!
Seriously though, I did a motorcycling course a few years ago, from the CBT to full licence. It took me a month, and I did the direct access, which meant that I could ride anything, instead of having to wait 2 years on a restricted bike.
A 125 does not have much in the way of pulling power - I was riding down to Hastings on the A21, and was trying to pass an articulated lorry on a 125. I was going downhill with the wind behind me and I still had problems passing it. It reinforced my belief that you need something a bit meatier than a 125.
Although if you are going to use it in the town only, then something smaller would probably suffice. My little 500 doesn't like slow!!!
