Hi all,

I'm new to this place and hopefully will stay here for a good while.

I am looking to buy a motorbike (Sports). I have a full UK driving license and a CBT. As you all know I am only allowed a 125, so I was wondering what you recommend? Personally I am drawn towards the Yamaha YZF R125!

I also would like to know how much you think a 53 plate, Ford Fiesta Zetec 1.4 is worth? roughly. As this money will fund my bike

Nice one people,

Lloyd

Do your full bike test then get a bigger bike restricted.

How old are you?

if under 21 you will take a restricted licence - which is theory (similar to the one you would of done for the car), module 1 offroad maneuvers fairly easy, module 2 road ride easier than module 1.

If over 21 it will be DAS which is same as above but on a big bike.

Courses will cost about £500-700.

Don't forget a car may take a while to sell, so if you can afford it you should use this time to get your licence

I'm currently getting my restricted licence, been driving car for 1 yr but done 16k miles passed module one first time and have mod 2 later this month.

Im just booking up my DAS, its going to be either 4 or 5 days and roughly £600 for me including bike hire and test fees if that helps. I already have my CBT and theory test done too.

Hi and welcome

Sorry for the delayed reply!

I have booked my CBT, and will gather confidence one the road first, then will take the direct access test. Also decided to go for the YZF R123

Thanks for the replies everyone,
