My son got a 50cc moped when he turned 16 last May. He sat his CBT and has been riding around happily. He sold his 50 last week when a good opportunity came up for a cheap 125. Now he can't insure the 125 as he is only 16. I even asked hid insurance if there was a way it could be insured for theft only until he was 17 but they said no. They then proceeded to tell me that I can't insure it as I wasn't the legal owner. This left us no option but to sorn it and lock it away until May (I did plan on giving it a run once a week or so). As was said earlier, the tax on a 125 isn't worth cancelling, seems the main purpose of this law is to generate cash for the government.
