Theory test past, get in!

Yeah but how many days riding? Place I did mine charge £815 for 5 days with them including CBT and the test fees. I didn't do it that way, but if it includes everything and you've never ridden before it sounds about the going rate.
Actually that includes the theory test as well, so more like £780.

6 days sounds a little over the top to me, but then I have no experience of the new tests...

Well done on passing 
For reference I did a 4 day DAS course:
Day 1 - CBT
Day 2 - 125s on the road
Day 3 - Big bike
Day 4 - Morning of big bikes and an afternoon test
I came from zero experience, all I had was my theory certificate from the week before, ink still wet
Our days were from about 10:00 to 15:00+, considering that I had never ridden a bike before, it was pretty easy to get going by about mid-day on day one, on day two I was still buzzing and loving every minute and mile, then came the big bikes - never again will my arse touch the seat of a 125; they have absolutely nothing going for them over a ‘big bike’ (apart from fuel economy!).
Now that the new test is in force though, a 5-dayer is probably enough I guess, it really depends on how you get on really, a mate of mine at work is looking at doing his test and mentioned that some schools offer a ‘free’ hour or so session on a bike to see if you like it; if you then decide to take a CBT you get a discount… may be worth enquiring about if you’re uncertain.
Best of luck!

Just under £600 - that was back in 2008, so pre-new test though.
