Thanks all, some good advice there, there's a dealer here in the backstreets of Frome ( Frome Bike Breakers) who have some 125 cc's for under and around a grand, one KAM 125 for 625 quid, which would probably sort me out for a while and give me some road experience before taking my MOD 2 again. Of course you're right, it's just I have already put 500 quid deposit on a classic BMW R-650 cc (mint condition, only 17,000 km on the clock) and am saving every penny towards that. I suppose I have to make some tough decisions.
