I have recently aquiered a Yamaha DT50, trail bike and I have already fell in love with it. The bike accellerates fairely slowly but it runs well and it reaches a top speed of somewhere between 40 and 50 MPH, depending on the wind. The bike is extremely light weight in comparison with some other learners bikes and it handles better too. The security on the bike is laughable, with only a steering lock which is fitted to the sideof the handlebars, but with a cheap D lock through the rear wheel, the bike becomes secure enough to leave almost anywhere.
As I am only just 16, some of the insurance policies can be extremely stupid, some asking for double the bikes value, but with the right company, the bike can be cheap to run and insure, making it a very good learners bike.
