i know i can ride a 50cc moped (lol) but can i ride 125 cc also? how much do things like mot and insurance cost?

 

to ride a 125 you have to take your CBT which costs around £70, MOT on a bike is £25 insurance obviously depends on the bike and your age but stay away from 125 scooters as i have a full bike licence and it would cost more for me to insure a scooter than it would my 900cc kawasaki as the light finger teenagers keep nicking scooters.

 

To ride a 50cc you have to take a CBT too if your license is a recent one (as in more recent than about 1995 or so) I believe?

 

just saw this on Direct gov

"
You will need to complete CBT if:

• you want to ride a moped (a moped has an engine not over 50 cc with maximum design speed not exceeding 50 kilometres per hour (km/h) which is approximately 31 miles per hour)
• you want to ride a motorcycle

If you obtained your car licence before 1 February 2001 you do not need to complete a CBT to ride a moped."

but it did not say about 125cc on standard car licence. is a 50cc expensive to insure??!

 

Oh its 2001 is it, fair enough.

50cc arent dear, but depends on your own circumstances of course, phone up for a quote.

 

i shall give it a go, any reccomendations for insurance companies?

cheers
