£750 TPFT quote from express insurance very similarl situation to yourself.
(that's on a new SV - give express insurers a ring) As people have been saying don't forget the gear. The £400 is a bit on the low side if you include theory test/cbt/lessons/test which for myself came to around £600 I think. Good luck mate |

It will only be really expensive for lessons if you are over 21 yrs old as if you are under that age, you can only learn on a 125cc. Not 125cc and 500cc like over 21's. It just means you will be on a restricted license for 2 yrs or when you hit 21 yrs old. Then again things might be expensive where you live and might bump up the price. Well, a month ago it was about £90 for a CBT, £60 for practical test and £25/hour bike hire(petrol inc). £25 for theory test. I dont think it will cost too much like.

Also you do NOT want lower fairings. They look cack on a pointy and cost too much to repair if you drop it. If you bought one with those on I would advise stripping them and putting them somewhere safe for a year or so, or even better - stuck them on ebay and make a couple of hundred quid for them.

Yeah.... agreed about the lower fairings. I was planning to use some of my limited entrepreneurial skills and flog them on eBay, because they seem to quite rare on there. And with regards to the exhaust i didn't think it would be a full system for a 110 squids... it would be a bargain though lol.
Ive also been looking round at the costs of tests and found a local centre that are doing the CBT and accompanied test with bike hire for £305 LINK (just click on prices on the left hand nav bar) They seem to be quite reasonable but i think they train you over a period of 7 weeks, whereas i want to be sorted asap. Can Anyone recommend any decent Bike security/bike alarms and the website to purchase them from? |

I just got time off work and 1 day long lesson and test the next day but I practised a few hours before my test. I would say, if you are doing it then you should book it yesterday, these dates go so quick so you should get theory test booked as you can't book practical test without it. I know practical test dates are getting further away too. So, just to cover your back, say you fail, you will have time to book and re-sit another before the test changes.
