I did my direct access in the summer, only ever rode scooters etc in my teens so no real biking experience but watched a film callled "One Week" and that along with "Long Way Round" made my mind up to get on a bike
I have a few biking mates and was warned off spending time on a 125 as big bikes are easier to ride, plus you wont practise bad habits if you were to do a direct access, it made sense to me so I booked up with a local school (which happended to be in my daughters school, very local) and did the CBT, Mod1 and 2 all on a Kawasaki XJ6.
Bought a SuzukiSV650s a week after passing as it was recommended by loads of people as an excellent first "big" bike, they were not wrong and after a few months riding I can honestly say that I wish I had done it years ago.
My only issue now is that its all fair and well getting the leathers on (20 minute faff) and going out for a ride for fun just emptying the tank, but if I want to go into town its a pain as i dont want to walk around the shops in the full kit.....
No-one told me it would be like a very expensive version of GAS, a Vespa could be turning up soon as a round town bike!!
Enjoy whichever you choose, 2 wheels is pure fun (especially outside the M25) and the people who nod, chat etc all the time are some of the friendliest bunch I have ever met !!

But if you crave more power, you need to rev it a bit - what's the redline?
Did you get a CB125? http://enginegraph.com/en/AccelerationDiagram/browse/7/?run[]=26091
I would think you should be shifting at about 9k if max power is at 8.5k RPM - break out the inner hooligan, man!
(But watch out for un-lit skips )

Still develops max power at about 8K. It's never going to set the world on fire, but you may as well get the full benefit of what it has to offer!
Thanks, I'll give it go tomorrow.
