CBT: To do or Not to do?

Hey guys,

My student discount on oyster travel has finally stopped and the price for travel has gone up quite a bit now. My mate suggested doing a cbt and getting a cheap bike. Is this a worthwhile option?

Im just over 6ft and weigh 120kg. Are there suitable bikes for a big guy like me? Im 20 at the moment, 21 in april so a full license is not applicable just yet. Bearing in mind that the rules are changing after Christmas. Any advice would be appreciated.

Whats the typical prices for cost of running a cheap 125cc or something?

Yeah thats not completely what i meant. The title is a bit vague, but i meant should i do a cbt and/or additional modules or go the car route.

Righty'O.
At the moment im just revising for the theory test.
After my theory and cbt is out of the way, what would be my next step? After purchasing a 125 would i do lessons?
Or should i do some of these courses at some dsa approved school?

On this site:

There is an A2 course which includes cbt and mod1 and mod2 of the practical. Would this be ideal?
Id rather do a full restricted bike test tbh.

Thanks for the feedback guys, im currently revising my bike theory and hopefully once i feel up to it ill attempt the theory and will be doing a cbt after. Then hopefully if all goes well post-cbt i will be doing the two modules of the practical.
