Any young motorbike riders?
I'm turning 17 and whilst looking in to getting a car the biggest factor is the insurance which can be anywhere in the range of £1,000 to £10,000, (from what I've seen, mostly the later end of the scale).
So, I then went to plan B, a motorbike and I quite like the idea.
I was wondering if anyone has any previous experience with this, starting young and mainly the costs involved in getting up and running. Or general, experienced riders offering advice maybe on how not to get killed.
The plan: I've sent off for my provisional (£50) and I know I need to go in for my CBT (Around £100) but after that what's the average cost of purchasing a bike (125cc), insurance, gear etc.
:grin
