CBT first before you can even ride a 50cc scooter bout £100 i think. Then DAS course £500+ depends on where you book it. The new test is in 2 parts also, first part is £10 you have to pass this before you can do the second part. Then the second part is £70. They have to be done on seperate days also. your looking at over £700 to get it all done. Not cheap.
