If you are 16 I would say you are stuck on a 50cc because insurance will be dear. That said try to get a geared 20cc rather than a moped.

You might get cover on a 125 at 16. Just not a sports model.

Glad to here theres still a few young people interested in getting into biking. Its totally worth jumping through all the hoops for.

not only that there a sight cheaper then running a car tax is uncompairable ! petrol again more economical even insurance although stll expensive for me its cheaper then me in an old 1.0l car

Nsr 80 would be your best bet, you will need a large quantity of lube to even think about trying to insure a 125 at 16. Even if you did get a reasonable quote on a 125 it would be a 4 stroke because they wouldn't touch you with a 2 stroke, so the NSR80 would be just as quick anyway.

is the ibt more expensive at 16? or is it the same price for all ages?

kevinhalvey

pretty sure its the same price for all

reddie_freddie

but one guy says it costs 1100 euro for one person and another guy says it costs 290 each if two people are doing it together... wtf?

kevinhalvey

i think the 1100 was a bit ott look on www.rsa.ie and look at the instructores most of them have prices on there websites its around the 200-300 mark if you share

reddie_freddie

Thanks Kevin... the prices are not too bad! I almost cried when i seen ?1100 being mentioned

kevinhalvey

i know im also near 16 will be getting a bike soon and thought it wouldnt be worth it if it was 1100

reddie_freddie

Cool so your on the same boat as me! lol... what bike are you thinking on getting?

kevinhalvey

i really wanted a honda cbr 125 seen a lovely one right money v.clean but insurance quote on it is as much as the bike

i got a fair enought quote on a 70cc aprilla yesterday so thats on my short list

reddie_freddie

aye... i was looking for a 125 aswell, but the insurance is shocking... im currently thinking on a nsr 80, a tzr 80, or a suzuki rg 80... seems to be good power in those 80cc bikes

Long as its a full licence and not a learners permit you can ride where you like. Learner Permit is not valid outside the republic.

reddie_freddie

ok thanks

reddie_freddie

where do you guys get the bike reg from when getting a quote?

kevinhalvey

with quinn anyways make one up youll stilll get one but if you do jus look at the pics of one and punch it in thats how i do it either way

reddie_freddie

ok so if i cant see a pic of the reg of the bike, i just make one up and it will work?

kevinhalvey

yea i must of got 20 quotes from various bikes using made up plates and worked fine eg 07g1234 works fine

reddie_freddie

ok thanks... any good quotes?

kevinhalvey

the best i got was on a 70cc aprilla think 800 euro

reddie_freddie

wow thats good... i got quoted 818 euro on a guilera dna 50 and 1200 euro on a suzuki rg 80, both third party only... is the aprilla 2-stroke or 4-stroke?
