I'm Richer!

Having had my Van Van for a few months and having had OK weather I have been riding to work everyday. I have really noticed a difference with my bank balance

It cost's me 7.50 per week to get to work a damn sight cheaper than My BMW E46 Sport

I also find the ride invigorating and fun...

since buying the VV its been a win win situation not just financially but breaking the daily grind off the commute. Fingers crossed we have a Mild winter as the thought of using my car again for work is dull and expensive.

Cheers

I just taxed the bike 2 hrs ago online cost me £16 quid for the year

v £220 for my BMW

It cost's £15 a month to Insure

The saving on wear and tear on my car tyres ect..at a cost of £120 for the fronts and £200 for the rears on the car is a win win.

factor in those and yeah I'm quids in never mind the fun of getting to work on the country lanes.

It cost so little to get to work I feel I'm working for me not wasting money to get to work.

The cost is throw away in all honesty. Its cheaper than the bus!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Although I don't commute, the bike is saving huge amount. Almost twice mpg and 1/5 the insurance cost and on top of that a smile whilst riding.

I hear that, I'm only on a moped but I save a fortune!

Also the ride to work is a bit more interesting and I always seem more awake when I get to work.

Yeah me too.

like the sound of this but know nothing about motorbikes - I have a 6 mile commute and wouldnt mind a change from the car - what licence do you need to ride this (told you I know nothing about bikes!)? Says on my old paper licence provisional Cat A upto 125cc that I passed in 1997 - do I need to take any tests or anything or pay any other monies other than buying the bike and paying tax/insurance and fuel?

Just your CBT mate.A day course do a google

To be fair, I'd have to be saving a considerabley large amount of money to ride a Van Van.

Its a great cool little bike. It doesn't look ridiculous like this

Honda YBR

Looks like this :cool:

All the Big Biker guys I have met and who have seen it love it. I do too
