I have a friend offering me a Honda CBR 125cc with 3000 kms on it for $1500. He says it's in excellent condition, what do y'all think?

In my opinion owning a bike can be just as expensive as owning a car. Aside from the bike itself, there's gear and insurance.
If you're wondering if a 125 is right for you, you need to ask yourself what do you foresee yourself using the bike for. Is it to commute? If so, do you need to take any highways? Also, depending on your build, a 125 may be too small for you. In addition, many people out grow a 125 very quickly, and would upgrade in a few months.
I would personally recommend starting on a 250, as you can still go on the highway, its more forgiving than most 600's and when it comes time to move on, it'll retain it value very well.
