I agre with things said here, Insurance on bikes is a killer. The CBT is pretty straight forward, basically are you competant at handling the bike and are you safe to be let on the roads.

Holding your car license for x amount of years in my experience makes Jack difference to anything to do with a bike.

How far do you travel on a daily basis? can you get there by non motorway roads?
If so I'd stick with a really small 50cc automatic. If you need to travel on faster roads your better of with the 125.
It is possible to do your CBT in a day, but i'd say its more for people that have had theirs and had to resit etc. Poeple that have had a bike before.
