Now then chaps, hope this isn't too off topic. How do you go about getting a bike licence?
Is it a long and complicated expensive process?
If you already drive a car, how long would you say it take your test etc and to get a full licence.
For example would it be possible if i start now to get one for the summer?
Nice bikes by the way!

Apply for and pass a motorcycle theory test.
Then pass CBT (Compulsory Basic Training) which takes 1 day.
Lessons on a proper bike and finally a motorcycle test.

Not sure on cost now but iirc paid about 400 quid about 6 years ago.

most people just do a crash course which if you pass your cbt you could be riding within a week.
Costs can be anywhere from £450 upwards.
Some nice looking bikes on here guys will need to get some pics of my daytona 650 up at the weekend

Slight update on mine from my earlier pics in this thread.

Was not 100% sure on the stubby can so this weekend i decided to fit a Yoshi Tri Oval.

Think it suits the bike better

Not sure why the tail was stripped of its Decals but i quite like it.
Possibly done to hide the size of the bike.

Ah right thought you might have fitted a new one or something! Cant see it being to hide size as anyone who knows about bikes knows theyre the 600 colours anyways!

It makes it look different though, and its one of those where you look and think' whats different?'' at first lol It is also now my wallpaper

Going to look at one myself this week mate k4

well just to throw something different into the mix, i just got this, a 1983 yamaha xv750 special, V-twin, rather bloody loud pipes on it, only 9,300 miles from new, it was dropped at low speed last year, so i got the spares to fix it n i'll be riding this soon once it tidied up.
