Are you looking at the CBT training, licence fee, DAS training including test fees and with/without bike hire included?

I've managed to fail my test more than once. Fees vary based on what you're getting, the number of days training included, if you're getting DAS or doing a test on a smaller bike and whether you've got your own bike to use or have one provided by the trainers.

Obviously different providers have their own fees and regional variations exist too. Around here £800 should cover you for everything included.

£300 from scratch depending on your age and if you've done your CBT

Best thing you'll ever do.

You'd also need to do DVLC theory training etc.

Do you need to do the theory even if you did it already for your car license?

Dunno, I passed ma car test on the 5 Dec 1981 and ma bike test 10 days later (both first time)

However much it was, it's bound to be much more expensive these days

Yes, you need to do the theory despite already having it for a car licence.

No you only do the theory test once.

My CBT cost me £100 to do and full test plus tuition £400.

Best to get a bit of practice in first on a car park somewhere if you have a bike already.

No you don't, its a different test for a bike so you need to do it again

Look it up on gov.uk

"You must get a provisional licence and then a compulsory basic training (CBT) certificate to ride on public roads.

You must take and pass the theory and motorcycle tests in 2 years. If you don’t pass both parts of your practical test within 2 years of taking theory test, then you’ll have to start the process again."

Cant recommend Valley Bike School in Rossendale highly enough. Best place for miles around IMO

Not if you have a car license. You can do a direct access?

Even if you have a car licence to do direct access you need to do a motorcycle theory test before direct access.

I stand corrected. I did a motorcycle theory test but already had a car license before the theory test came in.

I've had to and think it's essential in order to do the CBT evaluation. They also expire after a while.
