22-05-2001 2:46am#1I'm renewing my insurance for the second time (making this my third year) - small moped (don't laugh, ba$tards
), yamaha CW-RSV 50cc (49really..). I'm 18 since last september... and my premium is £265.53 
Its dropped a whole 47p since the first time I got insured. Surely there's something wrong here?

Well Stephen my bike insurance is £434.65 squids and i am 30 and its only a 100cc Suzuki jobbie, so don't feel so bad. The words daylight and robbery come to my mind. I used to cycle to work for years but now i'm fat and lazy and couldnt be arsed, so i'm on a provisional drivers license, maybe that why the premium is so high.

Robbery indeed. I think for someone 18/19 years of age it costs about £900/£1000 to insure a knackered old 100cc Yamaha RXS.

Take the test, it's damn easy, *everyone* passes first time, you've

About the test, I got all the forms but whats the story with applying? You apply for a category A1 test right? then when (if) u pass it u get a category A licence? (for over 125cc I mean). Just a bit confused on that issue
Me has plans to *upgrade* somewhat to a 1500cc 0 -

Nope, if you have a provisional A1 licence and take the test, you get a full A1 licence -- same restrictions as an A1 licence (except you're not a learner anymore). If you're over 18 there's no point in touching A1 anyway (afaics?), go straight for the A licence. Test is the same.<font face="Verdana, Arial" size="2">Originally posted by rymus:

1500cc bike is pretty big to be restricted to 25kW output doable of course, just not exactly sure why you'd want to. You'll be restricted to 25kW (about 33bhp) for 2 years *after* you get your full A licence.
