Hi guys this is my first post Embarassed

I want to do my full bike test but i dont need the trainng as its expensive and i think im up to test standard. I have my own bike but how do i get insured? the insurance company say they cant insure me due to me not having a full license but other people say they have done it on there bike please help!

Try Bikesure.

They insured my Son on a Bandit 650 for 2 months as a learner and 10 months as a full licence holder.

Find a bike training school that will take you through your pre-test and then let you use their bike for the full test. Sorted, no insurance issues. As that is what i did. i then went out and bought my first bike. shouldn't cost you that much. It's like using a driving school and doing your test that way. Hope this helps.

Then all you do when you've passed your test, is get home and phone the insurance for your own bike. Happy days.

If you were fairly close and doing your test around Gillingham/Herne Bay I'd quite happily "ride your bike" to the test centre with you pillion. Just get some insurance to allow you to ride under instruction. Thats all you should need

There is a reason schools exist, it's so they can ascertain whether or not you are up to test standard and then allow you to use their motorcycles for your test which means there are no silly insurance issues.

Paying a school for a day of training + a day of bike hire for your test will likely be very similar money wise to the insurance you'd pay for doing it the other way which is conditional on you passing first time and most people who think they are up to test standard without ever having a qualified instructor/examiner check, aren't.
