OP, wait the few months left to give you access to all options, and do your CBT near to that time.
Too many positive and negatives to say if a bike is better than a bus or a car. TBH any mode of transport for A-B necessity all year round and in all conditions is completely shit! Walking to work, cycling or just home working are far more interesting and tolerable IMO. Owning a vehicle that you must pay for various things before you get to do a mile using it can be tedious or even untolerable!
Vehicles for fun/leisure or for the sheer hell of throwing away your money on for want of something better to do, is a bit more fun or justifiable to some, and even then they can be a huge pain in the arse even if you never need to rely on them.
A day out on a cheap day ticket on the bus to go hopping around county wide with no time constraints can be alot of fun for example.
I don't think there is any licence route or category that has an automatic upgrade to a full unlimited licence after a time anymore? Also I think you need an unlimited licence to ride all bikes from 126-650cc?
All that in mind I'd do either DAS or whatever its called now, or an A1 licence with a 125, with the idea being if you wanted an unlimited bike later, you could buy one, rock up at the test centre with no training (why you need lessons after say 2years on a 125cc I find insulting) and pass a test on it before riding it home.
I fucking hate this stupid gate jumping system to get a bit of paper that says you can ride a motorbike legally. So for me today the choice would be pass a test that let's me buy and ride anything I like, or say shove said system up arse as I don't want to play games, and leave bikes well alone.
Have you looked into those 3wheel scooter things? I did hear some of them could be ridden on a car licence and if so, and if own affordable transport is a means to an end, I'd consider it with you having a car licence?
Lastly one for Arry etc, but what if you bought a fucked car for £50-100 quid and insured it to sit in your garden for 3-4years, can that get a person's car insurance rates down having 4years NCB on a wreak they don't even drive? |

Old Thread Alert!
The last post was made 6 years, 315 days ago. Instead of replying here, would creating a new thread be more useful? |
