Common sense would dictate nothing will change for you in that circumstance.

However, common sense isn't always applied by the dvla/dsa. Your best bet would be to give them a ring.

Yea, not wise in the slightest going TPFT, however, it was £2200+ for fully comp on the 1098S (08), however, the 748 was like 5 quid difference per month for fully comp. Never bothered as I knew I would buy a new bike in the winter sometime last year.

And yes, the <25 age price is silly! I had one accident, I was sat at some traffic lights, minding my own business, next thing I know I have a BMW so far up my arse I am coughing up a BMW badge. Light was red, driver accepted full responsability, was on the phone and also said "I didn't see you"...

How, on earth can anyone not see a bright red motorbike making more noise than thunder? lol

whats wrong with TPFT? i only ask as affording fully comp is a complete no go!

i pay £539 for my fazer and to insure full comp they want over 1k!

I'm 17 in March and wanna do my bike test this year probably in the summer sometime after I've had a few months practice on a geared 125. Been riding since Last September so got a fair bit of road wit. What the hell does this mean for me?

Get it all done this year, which you can do easily, and you will have a 33bhp licence, which will derestrict in two years.

The rules that are in effect are the rules your licence will take, they won't just swap your licence.


Book your theory and get the ball rolling asap is all I can say.

For one, I'm glad I've got my licence. I'm 19 and the idea of riding a higher power bike (40-50bhp or something?) sounds good, but having to take another test to derestrict my licence is such a joke!

Because I certainly wouldn't want to insure a 1098S on anything other than FC, way too expensive if something happened to it.

Read above chap... A bike that is worth £10k with all the extra's is something I don't want to drop coming out of a car park to be faces with 1k's worth of replacements.

The current insurance I am with don't require ANY excess at all, no mandatory or voluntary excess. So the moment it becomes affordable it will go onto FC.

My 748 wasn't bad being on TPFT, worth £4k including extra's. But I know that bikes mechanically inside and out, so if anything did happen, I would simply do all the work my self. Including cosmetics.
