my boy is 16 in 2 weeks and i said i would buy him a scooter, roughly what sort of prices am i looking at for insurance for a 16 yrs old, any ideas.
-
try MCN Compare, i found that very good :y
-
im a bit worried about getting him one now its getting nearer the time, i know how wreckless i was when i was 16 on a moped. but it was my idea so he could get to college and home when he starts and i dont like him walking home from his mate late at night, very worrying being a parent i know but cant help thinking hes not mature enough to have one.
-
iirc we paid £650.00 ish. fully comp, includes local breakdown recovery whch we have used ::) ::) ::)
Cost nealy as much as the scooter ::)
-
Probably looking at £400+ TF&T.
My lad two years ago was £500 TF&T for Aprilia RS50
-
thats not bad then i was expecting about a grand for insurance. lad in pub his saxo is 3500 and hes had 2 crashes since in the last few months, he paid 1000 for the car. he wont get insured next year now surely
-
I'm 19, and pay £1929 tp now. Used to paying much much more. Got a good deal from elephant.co.uk...But never had a moped so unsure on that front, sorry.
-
At 16 I paid £10 :o :o
-
.......and I paid £12,it was 1975 though. ;D ;D
I only pay £95 now for the little Honda. ;)

eeeek! Bet you cant wait till you have a couple of years NCB, and are a few years older! ;D
I think I got off lightly - £609 Fully Comp with Direct Line (Im 21, with 2yrs NCB, and one 'cockup' on file!)

Thats gonna take him a few paper rounds to fund.....I remember it took me a whole year just to buy a Tv!
Unless your being soft and funding it all for him (mug!) :y

yes i am funding it all, unless he decides he doesnt want one now, he wasnt too sure at first when i asked him about it. i may give him the option of putting it aside for when hes 17 so he can get a snall car. his mums not too happy about me getting it and said its gonna be my fault if he has an accident

If he had doubts, perhaps give it a miss...??
If it was my son, i would opt for the car...even though more expense...
Love bikes, but these days no....

I went through that, and he is my stepson, which makes it worse. told him if he gets killed, that I am a dead man ;D ;D ;D

I would not buy my children a car or bike the same as I wasn't.
I am happy to help them get a banger or similar and get it sorted out so they learn as they go but, it can be to easy come easy go if its laid on a plate for them
-
We were never allowed motorbikes for as long as we lived at home, Mum and Dad were paranoid about the safety factor of letting a young inexperienced "youth" (i was 16 at the time) ride such a vehicle and that was well before the scooter scene became as big and "cool" as kids think it is these days........
Personally I wont be letting our 2 lads anywhere near them until I knew they have got the understanding of what can happen.
-
I was bought a bike but I had to maintain/tax/insure it myself, I took over the HP during holidays when I got a part time job.
In my parents defence, crap bus service, middle of nowhere, no car at the time, so getting me a bike was a cheap choice, even if it did get borrowed if dads bike was off the road.
I was in further education though (6th form)
-
my dad never knew i had a bike, he would of kicked the shite out of me, he hates them big time. im gonna see my boy tuesday so were gonna have a chat about it.
