Boggert:
I've just ken my bike test for the same reason I wanted cheap transport... From CBT to bike test was £450 + £30 for hazard perception.

The thing is I can pick up a good quality second hand 500CC bike for £2K and a new one for £3100. I would go for the bike, however its easy to say now I passed my test!

I'm currently running a 125 cc, cost me £800 to buy, £15 to tax and I get 120 mpg, you can do that after doing a 1 day CBT course for £100 and that will last you 2 years.

Cal:
Thanks for the info Boggert - and congrats on passing your test - ride safe!

Have been chatting with a couple of mates who ride bikes and I'm pretty sure I will go for one - just looking into some companies down my way to do the direct access course.

Quads look fun and they have there place. They have helped disabled riders onto the road either for the first time or after an accident.

But as a mode of transport instead of a car I can't see how they work. You have the worst of all situations. Stuck in traffic and out in the weather!

If you want to go the cheap transport route then have a look at the bigger scooters out there. A 125 scooter can fair shift and does give some degree of weather protection. I have bikes and I would really think about one of those for the work run.

Also, a bucket of water at it once a week and it's clean!!
