Just booked my bike theory £30, got it on the 23rd. got to redo my cbt £95 then a 3 day course with the test on the last day £395.

Cant wait. Looking at buying a cbr600 when passed. insurance quotes are around £350.

Good luck fella.

The theory test is similar to a car one, but there are some bike oriented questions.... And also you have to do hazzard perception. Both I found easy.
The only preparing I did was using a DVD on my PC to practice.

i passed my theory test today.

i booked my theory,my cbt, lessons and the test itself for the big bikes all for £299.

so i think yours is well expensive.

and i'm going for a R6 when i pass.

Thats seriously cheap....

compared to the prices above.

i could have gone for more lessons for £399, but i'm ok on bike so i chose the lower priced one.

seems to be the going rate around my area though.

philpy-si

I paid £300 for some leasons and test! CBT and theory was extra....

My mate says you can pay £2.50 on the dvla site and do a mock test as many times as you like in a 24hr period. Not checked it myself but might be worth a look mate

Kam B

mate do you have a link to that by chance?? i might pop down halfords and get a book or somthing today
