I'd personally go for the Honda over the Aprilia due to reliability. Two strokes will never be the most reliable, but I think that the NSR is more of a proven engine than the RS. You may be able to pick a NSR up cheaper than a RS (don't quote me on that; I'm not up on NSR and RS used prices!).
Is there any reason you don't want to go down the route of learning via an intstructor then buying a bike after you pass your test, like Insane says?
