Christo, if you absolutely have to buy Chinese, DO NOT BUY OFF THE INTERNET!!!! Go to a dealer with a workshop - at least that way you'll get some warranty/comeback if things go wrong, and spares back-up. On the internet, there are too many people who think they can make a quick buck from importing cheap crap; you buy the bike, and then there's no help when it all goes tits up.
I'm not that thick!
The bike shop in Chatteris is a Lexmoto dealer, gonna see if I can test ride an Arrow 125.
Anyone know of a 200 to 400cc cheap new bike?

I suspect anything cheap is going to be cheap for a reason mate!
Look up insurance on a 500, surely they can't be that much? I'm pretty much your age (although admittedly got a no. of no claims), and they want about £70!
