After watching almost £40 in petrol disappear in less than day after driving my car a bit too hard, I've been thinking of getting a commuter bike. I'm not really after anything flashy, new or expensive, my budget will be around £300 - £400. I know I can ride up to a 125cc on a learner's license (as it will just be for work, I'm not all that bothered about passing my test) but was wondering what else I'll need to know. I'm aware of the CBT test, but how much is it likely to cost and how long does it take? I passed my driving test in 1993 so I've got a decent bit of experience behind me but have realised I know little or nothing of bikes. How does the insurance compare to that of a car?
Any relevant advice on what someone in my position should know would be gratefully recieved
