The Honda NSR 125 is an exceptional bike to buy after doing a CBT. It is not as dull as the CG125's that are used so widely in the Test centres around the country. It's lively 2-stroke engine gives it that extra zip and acceleration. I have been informed that they can go up to 100mph derestricted and up to 75mph restricted. The advantage of the NSR is that it is a bulky bike and a replica of Sports bikes. It has very fancy panelling and very good handling and is ideal if one wishes to get a feel of what heavier and bigger cc bikes will feellike when taking a full test. Most people still keep their NSR well after passing their tests because they are so much fun to ride. The only down side is the seating position can get uncomfortable when riding for long periods of time. This is because it is a sports bike, however the advantage of the seating position is that it makes it easier to handle corners.
If buying a 125cc bike make sure you give the NSR a look, ideally second hand bikes as they are much cheaper and more affordable. Most of all Hondas make terrifc engines and you will find that it won't require as much servicing as other bikes.
