sotonjoe Posted 12 February, 2012 Share Posted 12 February, 2012 Can anyone advise how much they think it would cost me to pass the motorbike test if I was to do an intense few days with the test at the end? I know it depends to some degree on how good I am but it would be useful to hear from people who have done it how much it cost them just so I know what to budget for. I already ride an auto scooter daily on a cbt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glasgow_Saint Posted 12 February, 2012 Share Posted 12 February, 2012 About £800 if you pass 1st time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swannymere Posted 12 February, 2012 Share Posted 12 February, 2012 £500-£700 i would have thought, go and speak to an instructor, ask them to asses you and 9/10 they'll be fairly honest. The problem if you've been riding is to try and knock the bad habits out of you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StDunko Posted 12 February, 2012 Share Posted 12 February, 2012 I did the DAS scheme about 18 months ago for a set cost of £750, which included all test costs and intensive lessons. It would have cost more if I had not passed all the tests first time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baj Posted 12 February, 2012 Share Posted 12 February, 2012 Yeah, get an assessment first. I did my CBT then road a 125 for a year, 1/3 of my time learning for my full license was trying to get my bad riding habits out of me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sotonjoe Posted 12 February, 2012 Author Share Posted 12 February, 2012 Cheers. Courses seem to range form £500 to £700 for 4-6days but I'm guessing these don't include test fees. Stupid question ... how many actual tests do I have to pass? Is it two; one on a smaller cc bike? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StDunko Posted 13 February, 2012 Share Posted 13 February, 2012 If like me you are a complete beginner, you need to do CBT, Theory then the full licence has two tests; one at the test centre doing manoeuvres, then the second one is a road ride. I think I did about 24 hours of lessons spread over two weekends. I passed all the tests first time despite being a complete novice, but I did have 15 years of car driving experience. I now ride a 1000cc BWM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
