Hi All Looking for a little help...

I'm male and 34 and looking at finally getting out of the car for the crawl to work. I'll be travelling approx 10 miles each way in dublin traffic and would like to get someting comfortable and reliable to get me in and out. I was initially looking at the yamaha x max 250 which looks nice. What do I need for this do I need a provisional a-1 license do I do a therory test for this? so many questions and have no idea who to pose them to so any help would be great.

Keep away from Keeway....from what I have read they aren't terribly reliable.

I'm only going to be on a bike soon myself so that's all I can say really!

i've a yamaha x-max 125. it's a looker and very efficient bike. it cost me €4500 brand new(-1000 for a trade in) and it's been the business so far. the fairing gives you great protection from the elements so it's a great commuting bike. pretty nimble too,15" front and 14" rear wheels make it pretty handy to handle in the traffic.

Honda Lead 100cc retails at €2000 and you get a topbox for that
Great bike and it's a big seller.

100cc might seem underpowered but I've taken it out onto the M50 with no problems

You can't go wrong with a Honda!
