Not seen one of these for a long time - hard work though, by the looks (linky)

And another - prettier but more expensive. (linky)
had a CB72 a long time ago and my mate had a CB77 which could piss all over it, performance wise with only another 58cc or so to play with.

Not any more. The small ones are made in China.

Information stolen from an Enfiield forum. But I think you have to registre so:
Joking aside Ric, when I was over Chells on Saturday looking at a 125 to buy, we had a long conversation about this. I was going to get a Yamaha which he sells, he also sells chinese easy riders for 500 quid less, and said buy whatever you like they both come out of china! I couldnt believe it but he showed me and has been a main dealer for Honda Yamaha Suzuki and Kawasaki (dropped them now) since the late 1960's.
He reckons one of the drivers that brings the bikes told him containers were going into Hinkley from China with bikes in. Cyril said to the driver, no mate youre wrong it'll be components, but the driver was adamant apparently, it was bikes! But maybe the driver was confused and meant Thailand? You can still buy a Jap built 125 I think but that'd be a Varadero at around £3500.
Incidentally I test rode a Honda CG125 (made in Turkey) and a Chink Easy Rider, there was no real difference, apart from the price, the Jap was 1400 quid on an 08 from a school, the easy rider was brand new at 1200 quid on the road!

Couldn't have bin much worse.
Japs may be twats (are) but their bikes are ok. Chinks should stick to chopsticks and brazilians to nuts - or shaved fannys.

He's found a place that do all the 125 and then the 500 training in a week on their bikes. So he won't need to buy a bike just for the licence.

OK,what does he want the bike for? fun, commuting,a mixture?What will he feel comfortable riding, what budget etc.
I recommend 2nd hand as he will fall off.
