There are few going on https://www.autotrader.co.uk/BIKES/ but they are very expensive, depends on how much money you are willing to spend.

i am sure you will be able to pick up one cheaper though.

no results on ebay.

Hey, just wondering, was it you first time on a bike?? or have you had past experience? how did you find your CBT? Hard?
Just asking as i have my CBT next week and a little worried as i havent been on a motorbike before, nor have i had much experience changing gears and clutch control etc.

Don't worry about it. I did mine having never even sat on a motorbike before.

You spend the morning learning the safety side of biking and doing figure 8's, emergency stops etc in a closed off area away from traffic, then in the afternoon you will go out on the road either by yourself or with one other person (and an instructor obviously), where you will do U-turns, traffic lights, junctions, roundabouts etc. for about 2 hours.

If they think you are safe enough to be on the road you will get a certificate, if you make lots of mistakes and most importantly, don't learn from them, they will make you do some extra riding or make you come back another day before giving you the certificate.

It's a fun day out, and lets you have a taster of wether biking is for you.

ps If you do get through it and fancy getting a bike, don't leave it 3 months like I did, try and get on the road asap.

Enjoy! Thumbs Up
