My brother gave me a spin on his bike a few months ago, and its really inspired me to think about taking it up. Naturally I've looked into things as much as I could. They make you jump through quite a few hoops these days, for obvious safety reasons.
First and most important hoop is CBT, and can anyone suggest a good place in London to do it?
My brother suggested me to take Direct Access course, so I could ride larger bikes straightaway after my test- apparently the standard of tuition is a bit better, since theres only two students per instructor.
Other people have suggested taking the normal test, and stay restricted to 250cc for a couple of years, since its a bit cheaper to learn then, and easier to pass.
The other option is to just take CBT and go around in a 125 forever. My bro was pretty dismissive of that idea, since he thought it was better to get some proper lessons, and also he said bikes only really start to become fun 250cc and up.
In any case, if and when I do pass, I was already thinking of a 250 myself.. My brothers 600 would be too brutal for me, and I think a smaller bike would be a bit easier in London.
