Guest Posted June 10, 2011 Posted June 10, 2011 Hey guys and girls. I've just decided upon a motorbike as i'm moving 20 miles away from my home and girlfriend for university. I can't afford a car and thought it might be a better option. looking at the insurance so far i already feel better haha. I have some questions about the CBT and was wondering if some of you could answer some questions.I've never ridden a motorbike and am very worried about being really bad at it. Also do i need to do some lessons before i do my CBT and do i need my own bike by that time?. Also if i need my own bike first is there anything you guys can recommend to someone in my situation?Kind RegardsLee Sampson Quote
techno Posted June 10, 2011 Posted June 10, 2011 NO you dont need any lessons, the cbt is not a test its just basic training I would just book one and see how you go.They will start you off slow anyway, Id never ridden a geared bike before doing mine. Quote
Boothy Posted June 10, 2011 Posted June 10, 2011 Do your CBT which will cost £90 - £100 then buy a 125. When you leave UNI or have the funds do your test and get a big bike Quote
Guest Posted June 10, 2011 Posted June 10, 2011 That was my thought line i was just expected someone to put a pipe bomb in the idea line but apparently not lol. Any thoughts on this for a bike straight after my CBT?http://www.autotrader.co.uk/classified/ ... ?logcode=p Quote
Guest Posted June 10, 2011 Posted June 10, 2011 IF you have a gander thru the pitstop section, you will see no end of problems with chinese bikes.My advice to you would be to go with a more established make, ie Honda or Yamaha, only my opinion, but the complaints about chinese bikes speak for themselves. (If Sym is not Chinese, i apologise, but we still see loads of complaints about them too) Quote
Boothy Posted June 10, 2011 Posted June 10, 2011 Don't even look at that bike viewtopic.php?f=27&t=30148 Quote
