An interesting quote from an article on Motorbike insurance
claims from an insurance companies perspecitve:
"Bike manufacturers have not been as keen
to agree price discounts with insurers and motorcycle parts are
notoriously expensive. A bike that retails for less than £8,000 new can easily cost more than £40,000 to build if each part is ordered separately."

Useful motorbike information:
Sites4bikes has put together some pages that
may be of use when buying a new or used motorbike.
Buying a used motorbike
"Decide how long you want to keep the
bike for, and what you want to use it for. Is it going to be
used daily for work or is it going to be a summer plaything,
which only comes out on dry days. Also are you the only person
to be riding on the bike or are you going to be carrying passengers.
Once you know what you are going to use your
bike for decide what sort of bike will fit your needs, whether
it be a Sports bike, Touring bike, Trials bike, Commuter, Cruiser,
Scooter or Learner legal"

Thinking
about doing the CBT?
"When
doing a CBT you can do it on a geared or automatic bike (commonly
known as a scooter or 'twistie') - which is better?"
Which
type of bike you choose to do it on is dependant on why you are
learning to ride.
If
you are learning to ride just to be able to ride a scooter and
you have no intention of progressing to obtain your full motorbike
licence then a scooter is probably sufficient and is easier to
ride, since there are less controls. A scooter is far more nimble
than a motorbike in traffic and around towns. They are cheaper
to buy and run and ideal for shorter distance commuting as they
generally offer more protection from the elements than a standard
unfaired motorbike. However you cannot ride a geared motorbike
if you take your CBT on an automatic as your license will be restricted.

you have ever wanted to learn to ride a motorbike off road, you
can do a enduro day on normal off-road motorbikes, but if you
really want to learn to control a motorbike off road then you
should have a go at trials bike riding. It really teaches you
to control a motorbike and you learn great bike control. There
is only one trials bike school in the country that uses 270cc
BETA REV 3 trials bikes (the most powerful you can get). Tricks
