    It'll be a few hundred euro anyway, as it's realistically a 4 hour return trip + toll + diesel.

    Do a google for some bike delivery companies, there's a few and get some quotes.

    Is it drivable? it's a short enough spin if it is.

    Ah but a Cork scooter would be far superior to a scooter or motorcycle from anywhere else in the country. :)

    Cork to Dublin on a 50 would be a big deal

    A 650 scoot just eats up the miles.

    Scrap the cap!

    Dunno about anyone else, but for me half the fun of buying a new bike is going to pick it up.

    Nothing like a longish spin to get used to a new bike. :D
