Try a Cg125 there have the honda reliablity and are so easy to work on, parts are cheap and you can pick one up for a couple or hundred quid grin.gif

get any little bike that runs and has a full years mot on it

with any luck you'll be looking for a bigger bike by then anyway. that's what i did with my gf- found a gp100 for £300- it's not very good looking but it goes and she wants to graduate to a bigger bike as soon as she can anyway.

Find your local Auction venue, Older CGs sometimes find their way through them.
Worth Holding out for a CG.

Could always try police auctions, you can get good clobber from them but they are a bit tricky to come by!
