Depends on how old you are, may be worth getting some experience and no claims if you are like 19, or even if you are nearing 21 and don't wana jump onto anything larger than a 125 for a couple of years.

not like that mate it's fact that they think I could get a 1.8 car and a bike and afford to run both when a purely cannot. probs opt on a 1.2 sxi corsa c and a bike as insurance wud be better

if you do it now youll pass as A1 restricted till you turn 21 then youll be given the full uk automatically - if i recall correctly. it also means 1) youd have your license longer (good for your insurance when you eventually get a bike) 2) you wont have to sit any more "big bike" tests. so i say - DO IT NOW

Me and my mate had a brilliant idea last night
We're gonna run a bit of a shed car between us (like £100 each for insurance) and i'm gonna get my bike aswell, and still have enough beer money for a few piss-ups every week
