If so, can you tell me the legal requirememnts for riding one?
(I have a full car drivers licence)

What's the deal with the CBT ?

It depends you used to be able to drive a motorcycle with a drivers licence but it changed a few years back so it would depend when you got your licence. CBT - Compulsive Basic Training (I think but it's definately something like that) you can't fail it they just take you out for the day. I think it is pretty much impossible to fail, it's about 90 pounds to take the test and use their mopeds (I did it on theirs because my RS-50 has a HUGE turning circle) But I must advise against it, your hands freeze and everyone falls off once or twice I only had one to get to and from school and to mates. If you can drive I'd stick with it.

You don't need to take any test strangely enough. You can ride around on a scooter using a provisional License. There is a limit to the engine size though, not sure what it is.

Anyway, buy a car. Or a real bike. Mopeds are death-traps and most moped drivers are really irritating as they haven't got a clue on road rules.

From what I've heard, the CBT "Test" you have to take is hardly anything like a test at all!

It's more like... An "All-Day Lesson", in the way your are, basically, helped to drive around cones and stuff, and, according to someone I know who recently passed his, they pretty much but the words in your mouth for the answers to the questions, anyway.

All you really have to do is pay your fee, turn up, and it's a guarrenteed pass - not even `IŽ could fail this one (however, I see much more sense in driving a CAR rather than one of those little "gimp-mobiles"!).

Heh. Car would be better, but I'm too cheap!

The again, I know 2 people who died in traffic accidents on bikes, both were the fault of incompetent car drivers.

But if I go work in London it'd be so much more convenient...

Sure. You have to flick the "Speed" switch to indoor when you're on the pavement, though - apparently 4mph is the limit.
