    my stepson was going to get a moped (50cc) but got a 125 yamaha instead second hand i would try them both especially if you plan to be using the bike a lot

    My stepson paid 211 for the bike insurance through LEXAM just third party as it wasnt worth fully comp or even fire and theft due to the
    excess that they wanted

    Also be aware that there are a lot of imported bikes as well So do your research on the sort of bike that you want and what you will be using it for
    also dont forget to get good protective clothing to wear as well

  • In some areas there is a bike hire scheme - inclides CBT, Insurance, Maintenance etc...

    The link is for our local scheme and is £22 a week... http://www.devonwheels2work.co.uk/ I don't know if that would be suitable for you? If you're at college rather than working, it's cheaper again :)

    You can ride up to 125cc on CBT, and you can do your proper test any time 17+ I think you're restricted on bike size until you're 21, but check with DVLA/Bike training centre x
