I am fast approaching the age of 16. I have sent off for my provisional licence. I currently ride a kawasaki 125 offroad. Now that i can ride a road bike i cant seem to find one. It needs to be a bike with gears because peds are annoying. I also need one if possible restricted to 30mph because i dont want to risk getting caught de-restricted. Any suggestions apart from e-bay will be much appreciated thanks
 
You can buy my RS50??? for £2000.
Its 08 plate, I knew how to use gears before I bought it, my Dad is a qualified mechanic and he did all the non-service maintainance on it. When ever possible ive fed it super unleaded and its always had castrol oil. Never been dropped or crashed and I prize it.
You live any where near Dorset?
Will be selling in 2 months ish

Edit: Its de-restricted, but I would never recomend getting a sporty looking bike which is restricted.
A) no matter how much will power you think you have you will soon want to be going faster
B) imaging having to get through 6 gears just to get to 30mph?
C) Cars will expect you to rocket away and you just wont be able to, I tried doing 30 the whole way home from college once and cars were trying to slip past me at any oppertunity
(Most powerful modern tractors can do 30 now, how would you feel if you were on a sporty bike being followed by a tractor?)
D) If your used to a 125 scrambler you will be used to much higher speeds and you will end up trying to make up time on bends, that will = 1 big crash.

My bike does 45 on flats and 60 down hills, its nearly fully derestricted and goes just fast enough for a first bike.
