    I am toying with the idea of getting a scooter for college, I'm 35. There is a good chance I'll be going to a city centre college in Sept.
    What would be a good starter bike?
    So far I've looked at a Yamaha Majesty scooter. I wondered what mpg they'd do?
    I've no licence or anything yet, just a car licence, any advice tips etc? I live in Tallaght village, so it wouldn't be a long distance to town.

    the majesty's are big ones though right? 125cc+ (think theres even a 400cc one..)

    so beyond the realms of the M license anyway, I think

    I'm running a 125 Suzuki Burgman and regularly get into the high 70s early 80s mpg wise through town. I live in Tallaght and head in to Ballsbridge every day.
    If you are only starting out though a 50cc might be better, otherwise you will have to spend a fortune on IBT for a 125cc.

    I checked my car licence, I don't have scooter licence, I'm 35, full car licence with no claims bonus,
    What do I need to do to get a scooter licence, is there a way of doing a course to bring down insurance?
    What kinda insurance are people paying?
