Thats what i wondered but surely it cannot be that easy?! Do i not need to sort out any kind of insurance (if its possible to be insured with a provisional on a big bike?)

well what test are you doing? DAS or the 125 33hp for 2 years test ?

just normal insurance for the 125

dunno about what you'd do on a big bike

technically you can do it on your own bike
but it'd be a long process to do

firstly as you're doing a DAS you are not allowed to ride a bike over 125cc on the road without being accompanied by an instructor

and secondly you'd need to get your bike insured for the test

if you really want to do it, here's what you'd need to do:
- get your bike insured
- get a friend or someone with a full license to ride your bike to the test centre (you can go as pillion)
- once at the test centre put on your 'L' plates
- do your test

Would you even be able to be insured on a bike out of the bounds of your license?

Also it might be worth ringing around for different training agencies.
I rang up the agency which gave me my only training, all of 2 hours, they were still able to get me in within a week.

Personally I'd wait for the school. A gixxer isnt the sort of bike I would want to do mod 1 or 2 on personally.

Did my mod 1 on my own bike TDM 850, insured it online with a provisional no problem.

just had to "get someone to" get it to the test Wink
