New hopeful biker (Kempz44)

[Kempz44]

Hey im alex and im 16 years old, depending on whether or not i pass a set of exams (which the results come on the 25th of August) im looking to do my test within the next few weeks, and im looking at a 2009 model Honda NXR 125 ES ( Trail Bike) with 25,000 kilometres on the clock, is this a good learner bike? Any tips for the hopeful newbie? :bye:

it isnt a bad start, and being a trailie will give you the chance to try out dirt as well as road, to see what you might get when you eventually graduate to your bigboys licence.
Take your time, enjoy the learning process. you can always sell it and upgrade later if you want to try something different.
and welcome to KB.
