Dont get the Aprilla RS-its very fragile! The varadero is the biggest 125 and can eat miles quite comfortably. But for a first bike, you can´t get anything better than the CG. Yes its small (nt as small as the CBR tho!), and yes its not the smartest. But its reliable and sound on fuel. Ive had mine now for 3 months, done about 1200 miles and it hasn´t let me down once (come rain and shine), apart from 1 puncture. And even thats no problem as the tyres have inner tubes. Ma mate takes the %!¤ out of my bike cus its smaller than his varadero, but i beat him off the line every time! Get a CG (save money)...do ya test..then get a sporty 400! Ride safe.
