What is the best 50cc moped/scooter's around insurence wise?
For my 16th Birthday my dad is going to buy me a second hand moped, I have a budget of £400. I have to pay for my own cbt, licence and insurance. What are the best mopeds when considering insurance? Or are they pretty much all the same? Some friends have told me to avoid the 'Chinese/Japanese' makes if I want to get a good insurance deal, is this true? Are there any other types I should avoid? Thanks so much!
Try getting some quotes on different scooters to see which is cheapest. I always use http://www.thebikeinsurer.co.uk - it's an insurance comparison site for motorcycles and scooters so displays prices from loads of insurance companies, it's easy to go back and change the make and model of scooter so you can compare prices.
Once you have more of an idea of what you want, try Lexham Insurance (http://www.lexhaminsurance.co.uk ) - they are usually cheap for young scooter riders (they run insurance schemes for a lot of the major scooter manufacturers).
It's best to stay away from the Chinese scooters, they are not very well made. Go for one of the more known brands if possible.
I had a moped when I was 16 and it was great fun and gave me lots of freedom, it's also good if you are planning to do your car/motorcycle test when you are 17 (or whenever), as you will be used to the roads. Have fun and ride safe ;o)
