JoshTimmins Posted May 6, 2009 Share Posted May 6, 2009 Anyone think this is too much, or about right?Phoned up a local trainin company and they quoted me this for the motorcycle test.Module 1, covered over 2days with test, £290 - bike hire, insurance, test, etc.Module 2, again 2days with test, £350 - same applies, bike hire, etc.Again if your ability is better can work out cheaper.Joshx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Korben Posted May 6, 2009 Share Posted May 6, 2009 Ouch!!To be honest mate you may struggle to get an answer... With this new course only just coming in prices are probably all over the place at the moment....Bloody expensive compared to the old price though...

chris128 Posted May 6, 2009 Share Posted May 6, 2009 I dont understand how they can charge similar money (and say it takes just as much time) to do the module 1 training which is just slow speed manouvers, as it does to teach someone how to ride on the road, especially if they have never driven a car or ridden a bike before Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jamesw Posted May 6, 2009 Share Posted May 6, 2009 From what I understand, the price of the new test is fixed until later this year (October I think) and is £80 for both modules. From then the price goes up to something ridiculous but I can't remember quite how ridiculous it is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted May 12, 2009 Share Posted May 12, 2009 I dont understand how they can charge similar money (and say it takes just as much time) to do the module 1 training which is just slow speed manouvers, as it does to teach someone how to ride on the road, especially if they have never driven a car or ridden a bike before - 50 Kph (32 Mph) swerve manoeuvre- 50 Kph (32 Mph) emergency stop- Slow riding exercise- Slalom- Figure of eight- Wheel machine backwards- On/off stand- U turnDon't think this Module 1 is a walk in the park!! You will need to be a confident and better skilled rider to pass than you were pre 27th April 2009.We are ensuring you are at Module 2 Pass Skill Level, in order to pass Module 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted May 12, 2009 Share Posted May 12, 2009 Ahh! But how much are you charging? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MtotheJ Posted May 12, 2009 Share Posted May 12, 2009 Well i did mine just before the swap over and it cost me £375 and when i asked how much it would cost if i waited to do the new one they said about £200 more so it sounds about right to me. But make sure you ring round and get as many prices as possible, you may come across a bargain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted May 12, 2009 Share Posted May 12, 2009 Im sure I read that the price for module 1 is only like £15 or something... £10 and £70 for module 2 Joshx So, is that going up later on this year ? And that much for training, that's ridiculous!! Gunna take me ages to get my bike license Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rod York Posted May 15, 2009 Share Posted May 15, 2009 With the advent of the super test centres- perhaps there is extra petrol & time taken to tarvel to these destinations along with the increase in test fees and natural depreciation brought about from the increase in use of the training bikes. Cheap training is often exactly just that...cheap Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
