Hello muppets.
After visiting this superb forum for over a year, I have finally joined properly. You lot are an informative, knowledgeable lot.
I have been commuting (almost) daily between Stockport and Trafford Park for nearly 3 years on my trusty PS 125, which is a bit shabby looking but runs well enough. However, after passing my test last year I have been hankering after a maxi and have long envied your tales of tmaxes, burgmans and silver wings. Alas, my pockets are shallow and while the PS remains reliable, the motivation is more from the heart than the head.
One point of note - I read fairly recently a discussion regarding tyres, and mention of Avon Viper "sh1tes". Having these front and rear on my scoot currently I too can add to the notion that they are lethal in the wet and I can't wait to get the cash to swap them for a pair of city grips.
Bye for now.

Hello Muppets
Welcome!
There is nothing wrong with a 125cc.
I have to admit that I have secret fantasies of getting a Runner FXR.
