    I kinda want somthing that i can do light offroad trails with, could i get a 250 enduro bike, restrict it and make it road legal? is that possible

    Why not buy a cheap bike for the road and something cheap for off road?
    You can't really have the best of both worlds with your choice of bikes/budget.

    Don't despair over the quote quoted. Liberty aren't exactly know for good value. Try AXA and Carol Nash.

    Ever been under 25 and tried to insure a bike in Ireland? Unless MCE have come in cheap Liberty will definitely be the cheapest option by far.

    AON and CN both still quoting me between 2 and 4 grand and I'm 23 now with 6 years no claims.

    Only for Liberty I would not be on a bike at all.

    Liberty is by far the cheapest I've come across at that age, but like I said, IBT will drag the price down.

    My friend got a quote without IBT and it was over a grand. Did his IBT and it got brought down to just over 700 euro.

    That's mad.
    I never had any discount for doing IBT.
    Did that include an assessment?

    neither did i, but i was on the bike a year and a half before i did the IBT, and never thought to mention to them that i had then done the IBT. oh well.
    have the full license now so it doesn't really matter at this stage.

    Without completing IBT your learners permit isn't valid. So how can they insure someone when they can't legally ride? :confused::confused:

    Not sure, he got his quote over the phone and when they asked them if he had rider training he said no and they gave him the quote.

    He's done it since though as you need it to apply for your full license.

    easy get out of jail free card for the insurance company - up to the client to make sure theyre on a bike theyre legally allowed ride

    similar to them insuring full power bikes on restricted licenses back in the day
