Should i get a motorcycle to combat costs?

[mattuk]

I have full driving license as it stands. I have a 1.2 corsa that costs me £1500 on the insurance and £200 on tax every year. Im putting in £20-£25 every week on petrol. I travel 30 minutes everyday for work and a extra 30 minutes 4 days a week going to the gym.

Im thinking about buying a motorcycle to use for work travels and other small journeys. Will i save money overtime getting a bike? Or is it pointless the money i save because it will go into insuring and MOT a bike anyway?

You are 23 and it costs you £1500 to insure a 1.2 Corsa?? Surely it should be at LEAST a third of that if not a fair bit less. I would have thought £300-£400 max for that car.

The prices are ridiculous for young drivers. I past my test 2 years ago and it cost me £2000. And that was the cheapest, im paying the price for boy racers.

Does it really cost £200 a year to tax a 1.2 Corsa? Seems VERY expensive to me.

Think its like £189 to be more precise for the 12 months.
