    @stinkwheeler Yeah it's expensive though which is my point. Really you ought to do the car license, spend the money on getting a nice reliable motor and do your bike license later on.

    That RC looks the tits though. Suzuki do a new bike as well...

        @stinkwheeler My dad had a 125 varadero, think it's aimed at the bigger rider really. Very easy bike to work on but as you said yes, a bit slow but it is only a 125.

                                        I literally have no idea how to polish. I can never get that mirror sheen.

                                          To get a good result and mirror finish it does take a lot of time and effort, but the finished result is well worth it. You can make life easier by removing as many scratches as possible with wet n' dry, I went down in grades all the way to 1200 grade. Plus using a polishing kit really helps and takes out a lot of the graft, once you have it looking pretty good then finish off with a final hand polish, using clean soft cotton cloths until you get that mirror finish;
