The Cost Of Riding A Motorbike In Ireland
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 21 фев 2019
- Well lads,
So I've gotten a lot of comments recently about how much bikes cost here in Ireland & how much on average would you need to save before you consider getting into them? It goes without being said that you're better off paying for things in steps. Be smart with your money & don't just blow it all starting up and not having enough to survive on.
Any questions, corrections or comments in general just leave them below! Cheers! :D
Hey, voice-over videos are cool! Very formal, very good. Riding in the rain is good, you can multitask your shower and your ride at the same time. And it's okay that is is a rough figure in this video, I'll be sure to let everybody know in the comments that they can message you about what they are specifically going to get, and you'll be happy to make a judgement on how much it is going to cost. You can leave out the helmet; will only weigh you down on your new, cool, 12 hp Yamaha R125! Don't need to abide the law when you have that bad boy between your legs, the po - po will never be able to catch you! Also, don't need to pay for a bike if it is stolen. (*cough* that was a joke never steal any bike, even a MOPED, still not good, you're a scumbag who deserves to burn in hell if you ever do *cough*) And trust me, bud, it's everybody BUT the Irish who can't pronounce the threes. As for below the neck gear, full leather jumpsuit with the hump at the back. Minimum €1,000; thank me later. Will help you go fastasfucc on that new Yamaha 125 you got yourself. How much is my method all together? No clue! Don't care enough, but hey! Will just ask Luke to make me an estimate for me! Stay safe Luke, have a good one. :)
Thanks Jake man, felt a bit awkward doing it. Took a few takes too! Haha feck off, my emails will be flooded. "wHatTS tHe bEst BegINNNNNERRR biKE?" Some solid advice there though man haha! I think your estimate adds up to 1 trillion dollars but you can also pay in sexual favours!
So it's a win win is what you're telling me ;)
Exactly the kinda info I am looking for , good video. Thanks man
Glad it helped Gerard man!
Great video again . I was looking for some information like this that couldn't find elsewhere . For someone like me who is looking into riding a bike this is very helpful. Thank you
Again, I'm happy I could help man. The reason I make these informative videos is to hopefully make getting a bike here in Ireland easier for people starting out! Any other questions don't be afraid to ask!
Luke ye forgot about the eye test 15-30 Euro!
Ah yeah cheers man! Forgot about this as I already had one for the car licence! I need contact lenses/glasses when driving/riding.
Great video. Really well explained. Thanks for your work 👍 always contemplating getting a bike. The insurance was always on my mind. Overlooked most other things. 😬
Thanks man, glad it helped! To be honest, insurance isn't that bad after a couple of years. It drops quite quickly with the no-claims bonus. The start-up cost is quite a bit that's the big thing!
Very useful information there for someone (me) starting out. Thanks.
Good video of a Irish/E.U version as many of these videos of how to get a motorcycle licence are US based. These videos are dead handy for someone going in who has no idea what to spend or where to go. 👍👍
Cheers man! That was exactly the point of the video. When I was starting out riding myself it was very hard to find all the information in one place so that's what I was trying to do. It's obviously not everything you need to know but it's a start! Glad you think it's useful! :)
Very useful video as usual Luke 👍. Hope all is going well.
Thanks huge asshole haha! :) All is well!
bye bye hopes and dreams. it was nice having you.
With a voice like yours and the background music you get a job doing Sunday mass lol then u be on the big bucks 💸💸 when I started new bike was 2,500 pound 96 Honda ns1 80cc insurance 300 pound can't remember the price of tax because I never had it.
Haha, don't know if that's a compliment or not! Jesus you started a while back! Sure tax? What's that? ;)
@@LuckyLukeRides of course it's a complement this video is great and better with the voice over you can explain the numbers much better this way. Yep first bike when I was around 17 I think and I am using them 24/7 ever since.
Makes me recall my garda motorcycle training course back in August 1986 - same month as hurricane charlie - when we thankfully were kept inside the classroom. I must have passed through Cashel at least a few times every week on the four week course. I passed the course incidentally.
Excellent video, very well presented.
Brilliant video, thanks!
Great video Luke, I've done both, car and bike, but bike is definitely cheaper, can't be arsed calculating but it works out cheaper for sure and a lot more fun as well. Be careful lad ;)
Yeah, I got my car all sorted when I was 17 and worked out my more expensive than my first bike. The bike is much more fun but not going to lie, I've put tonnes of more money into bikes since. Probably spent more now overall on bikes than the car but sure look, it's all fun :)
Nice vid, cheers mate!!
Excellent vedio thanks 😊 👍 very informative and accurate even today.
this is exactly what i was looking for(without looking for it!)
Thanks - nice vid. There is also an eye test at around 35€.
In Poland, there are no L-plates - only the actual license. The cost is 300€ for course + 50€ for the exam, 25€ for updating the license, insurance for motorbike is around 100-150€(I used to pay 25€ for moped when I lived there, back in 2012 )
Forgot about the eye test as I already had mine done for the car licence & I'm required to wear glasses/contact lenses while driving/riding.
Poland & most of mainland Europe seem to be a lot cheaper & a lot more realistic with their bike prices etc... Good old rip off Ireland haha.
Very great info thanks Luke 👍
No problem Slav pal! Hope it helps! :)
Spot on with the numbers
Great video, woulda been dead helpful 6 months ago when I was starting off myself.
I feel I did well now at just under 3 grand all in.
One add on to the pricing would be a decent lock (essential in Dublin).
Ah man, I was too late. I have failed you.
Haha, nah fair play man for getting all set up just under 3 grand, that's very reasonable! Yup, locks are essential, Cork is getting just as bad!
Big Money racket !! Thanks for the Video though Bro useful info to know !!
thank you for the video! Your voice is fantastic, don't worry about it.
I've got a question, as an Italian cityzen who has an Italian licence (car/motorcycle), how much would it cost to make it legal in Ireland? In case one day I'll decide to move to Ireland, would I have to pass some theory/driving exams to convalidate? or is it just a paperwork thing?
I just got an Learner now, and I got an 2017 Honda Scooter for about 2850 so I am on 4208€ so far, and I still have to pay for th 88 Euros for the Test and 55 for the Licence. Thank you for the video.
Great video very informative
Just what I was looking for, thanks! You should probably blur out your speedometer for the motor way part in future vids hahaha
Glad it helped man!
Oh l have no idea who the person riding on the motorway is. Think it was filmed in Mexico somewhere ;)
Great video,very informative,good man 👍🇮🇪
Glad you found it helpful man! :)
@@LuckyLukeRides story?..what's a good starter bike,engine size like?..I'm 34 and I'm looking into getting a bike...better late than never...I'm probably jumping the gun as I haven't even done the rider training course 👍
Very helpful, thanks
Glad it's helped pal!
Very accurate bro! Love the classic music hehehe!
Cheers Kafzito man, hope it's accurate enough for the newer lads! Couldn't decide on what music to put so just went with something copyright free by Georg Friedrich Händel :P
Thank you for the video
Hello,can I do one question, I want bring my moto from greece,one harley 883 2004,I find only the vrt cost and probably the insurance ,anyone knows what else I need to take irish numbers plate so be legal?
That's very helpful thanks luke
No problem FrannyLad! :)
What fo you need to do if you have a gull driving licence but want to get a motorcycle license
Pricing is always different for many things. Theory test can be avoided (for certain groups, and there are some specifics as to when you sat a theory test). But, in general, theory test, learner permit, IBT - they are fairly set prices. I think the average IBT is about 500. That's what I paid for mine, but you can get deals (two people learning together) and get it for 400.
Helmet, gear, bike, insurance all vary greatly, and can range from minimal to massive. It all depends on how much you have, what you want, how much you have to spend, etc. And then, some people have winter gear and summer gear. Not that either is more or less expensive, just different ventilation and rain proofing. :-)
Good video all the same, and I can say that my initial costs were more expensive, because I had the money, bought a new bike, and started much later in life. :-) All depends on the person.
Didn't realise that the theory test can be avoided, in what sort of cases is that allowed? The IBT is around 400-600 alright although I've heard some lads charging more but if that's the case they should be shot.
Most of the figures are subjective alright but I'm happy enough and confident enough that it's a decent ball park figure that can help a few lads out. New bikes are always saucy to insure, I know that now with the MT-07. Hoping it'll come down when I get to renew in June! :) You heading to the RDS at any stage for the show this weekend?
I'm 17 looking to start biking I appreciate the info made it very clear to understand
Glad I could help pal! Best of luck getting into it, you really won't regret it!
Did you end up getting one
@@finnwhelan973 got a wee 125 but want to move to a 300 on an a liscense but it's hard affording it now that I'm on apprenticeship wage
@@garygoldrick4867 I'm also trying to get one what's the insurance like on the 125 cus Ik ireland is shocking for it
hi, I will move to ireland soon, and I have international driving license, can I use it in Ireland?
Does anyone have an estimate of how much insurance would cost as a 16 year old with a 125cc bike?
For the day to day, in Dublin, is it doable, to commute by bike? Or the rain is too violent? Cheers! ( Ill be working there a few months).
One correction here in this otherwise very informative video. You don't need to wait 6 months from the date you complete your IBT in order to book your full test. You need to wait 6 months from the date your provisional licence is issued.
Otherwise, on the ball man.
As a owner of car driving license, still have to do exams or straight to driving lessons?
It's worth mentioning as well that the age of the bike can have an impact on the insurance cost. My insurer was about 400 to 500 cheaper for a bike that was over 10 years old because it fit into the "classic" class. Definitely go for an older second hand bike rather than a brand new one when you start out. Also, If you're buying a bike from a dealer who sells gear, see if they'll give you a discount if you buy everything from them. No harm in asking!
Great video 👍
Good shout Rebel County Rider! My Super Four started at €880, went down to €610 and then the next year a lad at Carole Nash said it was a "classic" class too so it went down to €290! Insurance is gone back up to €920 now on the MT-07 but I bought it brand new in June. Discounts from a dealer are also not unheard of, another good point for people lurking in the comment section!
Excellent video
Thanks Liam man!
GREAT lots of info .
Can I get a liscense at 16 to ride a bike ?
Thinking of a getting back on a bike after 20 yrs..but the bike I want costs 7700 plus buying all the gear Helmut ibt .. the lot... What advise have you for me.. bike is a 350cc scooter .
You’re driving in Cashel, Co. Tipperary aren’t you?
Any good forums for tip,s
Thx love ur vids
No problem Golden Ninja, hope it helps and thanks for the kind words!
how much speed --- we can drive
Great video
Good tutorial
Think you forgot to mention the penalty points and speeding tickets 🤣🤣🤣 fair play for sitting down and sifting through all that to come up with concrete figures for new folks starting out.
Haha only can get them if they catch you ;) That should be another video :P Thanks man, the voiceover video is a bit weird, took a few takes but wanted to make sure it was accurate enough for the newer lads! :)
@@LuckyLukeRides yea I was the same when I did the vlog setup video. Completely unnatural. I ended up sounding like a auld junior cert physics teacher with a hangover.
driving 12 years now, in many diffrent countries in Europe and on the other side of the planet, and never got a ticket on a motorbike....
That is a lot of hoops to jump through. I paid $20 for the MSF BRC (Basic Rider course) in Illinois. Each state is different, take it at a HD dealership and you can pay $350+ but they will put that towards a purchase of a bike. After the BRC it was $4 to have the "M" put on my license. Helmet $150 (DOT and SNELL approved), Jackets 150, 130, and 190 (two mesh and 1 zip hoodie with kevlar) , riding jeans $180ish, Icon boots $200, cold weather gloves and summer gloves total $100, insurance was $28/month, and bike $6000 for new Versys. The Versys went down on gravel and was totaled and the insurance company sent me a check for $5700. Replacement bike, 2005 Rocket 3, $4750. Not cheap anywhere you go. There are people here in the states whose ego's only allow them to buy big HD's as first bikes so they could be spending $10k-$30k depending on how new they want it.
That's quite the history Jay! I think the initial start up cost can be estimated but the amount you spend after you've got the bike never stops adding up! New gear, new mods, crash repairs, fuel, replacement parts, services, the list goes on and on. There's a lot of big ego lads here too that want to have the biggest, fastest bike and the irony is 99% of these people are terrible riders...
Where ya based lad ?
Do you think having just a bike for transport can be inconvenient? I'm thinking of getting a whip but if I get a bike I cant get a car for awhile (and vise versa). What kind of problems do you encounter with a bike? Weather, parking, etc..
Depends where your living and what sort of weather it has. I tried living with a bike only for a year (a 1990 Honda 100 2 stroke bought new) By the end of it I was worn out and weary because of the Irish weather so was very glad to get back into a car after the year was up.
Hi, nice video!!
Quick question: I hv DL at my home country, Inorder to ride vehicle in Ireland, Is it must to go through IBT process ?
Hey man! What's your home country? Some countries can have their licences exchanged for Irish ones & others will need to go through the IBT process!
really good video
00:25 LYF HAX!
I learned to ride in the Northern Territory. Converted to Euro, it cost me about 3 Grand all up.
Spotted ;)
3 grand all is very reasonable!
Lad are you from cashel
2500 will get a lovely bike
I bought a 06 gsr 600 around that price ,did the ibt on it and put 3000km on it so far ,only put a back tyre on it
How does insurance work in Ireland ? In Brazil we pay monthly, my brother lives in Italy and he said he pays anually. How does it work in Ireland ?
Hey Viktor!
Most insurance companies will give you an option so you can either pay monthly or annually.
I do know that if you pay annually it usually works out a small bit cheaper but again, you can work out the price when you get a quote!
Hi, Just wondering what is your experience driving during winter and with heavy winds. I travel a lot and moving from a car to a motorbike is difficult decision weather-wise. Is travel possible if you go slow and are really careful or you recommend not driving at all due to black ice?? Thanks in advance!!
Hey man, Winter can be quite nerve wrecking. Especially early mornings with ice.
If you HAVE to ride in winter, you just need to be really really REALLY slow & careful. I would try avoid it if possible.
Wind isn't the worst issue unless it's very windy and you're literally getting blown all over the road.
Riding in the wind I can get over, but riding in the ice is just asking for trouble to be honest man.
Once you stay on the main roads that have been ice treated you should be fine but avoid country lanes as these usually are covered in ice. Wind can be an issue on lighter bikes and scooters especially if they have screens but on heavier bikes not such a problem.
80 euro for the license that is around 7000 INR, in India people pay 7000 down payment for a 150cc motorcycle.
Just wondering after you have got a full licence do you have to wear a Novice high vis
Hey man, if you have passed your car test and have had the car licence for more than 2 years then you don't have to wear a N vest for the bike. If you just pass your bike test and dont have any other licence then you'll have to wear a N vest!
thanks pal
No hassle at all man!
Brilliant video. Just what I was looking for. One question: About how much time does it take for all that paperwork and licensing to get you on the road (learner)? And how much time does the learner's course take?
Hi Brian, glad you found the video helpful!
As for time, it's a couple of weeks maybe 3-4 weeks before you get on the road. That's between passing your theory test and actually applying for a learner permit through the NDLS.
The I.B.T. then varies from instructor to instructor. Most will try do 3 days of a couple hours riding. I did mine across 3 days. First was a class room type situation about rules of the road and about bikes, the parts and general info.
Next couple of hours was just walking with the bike, taking it off the stand then getting on the bike and doing some slow car park drills.
My next day was actually on the road and the instructor was talking to me via a helmet communication system. He would lead and I would follow and then I would lead and he would follow then stop for some feedback etc.
The last day then was just more road riding, junctions, roundabouts, emergency braking, overtaking etc. They're a very well laid out course to be fair. Depending on where your based you should look up the best instructor in your area or ask local bikers who they did theirs with!
Sorry for the essay! Hope it answers any questions! :)
@@LuckyLukeRides You 're very good to reply so expansively. Exactly what I needed to know. Thank you so much.
@@LuckyLukeRides Nice video very helpful. I'm assuming that you did your I.B.T. here in Cork. Could you recommend someone for full license A ?
I’m 14 and I can’t feckin wait to get my a1 license & I’m already trynna save money for it😂😅😂
Haha best of luck with the saving man! It'll be well worth it when the time comes!
I’m glad I’m not starting out again. I pay less than £200 a year for my insurance in the U.K. and if I remember rightly my insurance for a 125 about 40 years ago was about £15 for a year!
Woah, that's amazing! It's the way insurance should be. There's actually a few of my friends that are insured by companies in the U.K., they're much more reasonable. £15 for a year is just too good to refuse haha!
Lucky Luke Rides I pay about £15 a month now, still cheap but I’m an old git!
Do I need to apply for a licence if I have a driving licence and would like to drive a scooter up to 50cc?
It depends on when you passed your car driving test. I think the cutoff date is about 2001. Before that date your lisence covers mopeds.
Check if your lisence has Am.
Otherwise it's a bit more complicated.
its help，thx
are 300cc bikes legal in ireland. i’m really really new into bikes and have my eye on a ninja 300 as a first bike but not sure
Depends on what category, for a 300cc you need an A2 at minimum.
Does the car liscense include an a1 bike category and what gear is definitely necessary besides the helmet
Nah pal, the car & bike licences are completely different now.
As I said, a helmet is the only legal requirement but to be honest, everything is a necessity. If you come off the bike with no gear it's no fun. Apparently as soon as your skin makes contact with the road it's an instant 2nd degree burn and it gets worse from there as you slide etc. Gloves are vital as your normal reaction when falling is to stop yourself with your hands. A jacket and pants are essential as if you come off and are sliding for a while you'll want something that'll hold up. Boots are very important for the same reasons as above. Don't get me wrong, some times if I'm popping to the shop I'll throw on regular jeans but I'll always wear my gloves, boots, jacket and helmet.
@@LuckyLukeRides cheers for the help lad
Thanks
No problem at all :)
If you have a bike license from the states and you plan on moving to Ireland, does that transfer over or would I have to retest?
That's a good question, I'm not 100% sure man but I'll email someone today and try get an answer for you during the week 👍
@@LuckyLukeRides Thank you much man! keep up the vids! love to see more!
You could easily get on the road for much less. 1st year buy a 50cc scooter, you could easily pick up a good one for 1k. Cheaper insurance, tax and fuel cost. Easy to repair and service yourself. As regarding safety always buy boots, trousers, jacket and a helmet. As long as they have the CE mark they will be fine for normal driving conditions. It would be well achievable with 3k. The most expensive part is getting to a full licence.
How much is insurance on a moped?
@@fintonmainz7845 not sure. I am on my first year and driving a 125 cbr and it is 595 per year so it would be similar to that depending on the cc of course.
Ok i have a question i am 18 and want to get my bike licence i was looking at a 1988 cbr 250 . Would that classify under vintage insurance and would i get insured on it?
As I said man, I've no idea what people can get insured on. They seem to just make it up as they go along so your best bet is to just ring around and tell them you're looking at getting the bike and see what kind of quotes they'll give you. I'm not 100% sure either on how old a vehicle has to be to be declared vintage.
Thanks for getting back so quickly . I will do
@@MONO-MOTO No problem at all man! Insurance is a tricky one here in Ireland alright. I know Liberty do an online quote system so you could also try that instead of ringing!
Damn bro this was really helpful! How much does it cost to run a well maintained 600cc bike (service and fuel)? Not too sure if you know anything but I can't really wear a helmet on top of my turban so... Do they allow no helmets for Sikhs? Cheers mate!
Alright so I just saw it online I can ride without a helmet while wearing my turban.
Hey man, servicing/fuel all depends on what bike you're getting & how you ride it! If you're only going around a city or town you won't be spending much on fuel but if you're going out for spins on country roads you'll be using more. Services can be cheaper if you do them yourself. The basic things are just an oil and filter change, cleaning/lubricating your chain and also just checking your fluid levels like brakes and radiator fluid.
As for helmets for Sikhs, I wouldn't know man. However here in Ireland you are required by law to wear a helmet while on a motorbike, without one you'll be stopped and possibly fined/have your bike taken off you. Hope this helps! 👍
@@LuckyLukeRides thanks for the helpful response bro! I'm a student right now trying to save up, hope to ride with you someday! I am subbed!🙏
Hi. As I cant see any quick quote on insurance online how much might cost me insurance roughly?
39yo , yama xj6n 2012, full bike licence for 20years but never riding in ireland and no history of riding. Just want to start and wondering what will be the damage 🥴.. any suggestions lads? Thanks in advance
I think Liberty are the only crowd to do online quotes.
No idea really what you could end up paying. I'm assuming with your age and the experience that it shouldn't be too bad but you'd never know with the insurance crowds. Most 1st quotes I've heard are between €500 - 1000.
@@LuckyLukeRides checked liberty online..cheapest third party only 552euros and 740 for tpft..carole nash might be cheaper I guess
@@waterfordMARTIN Yeah, first quotes are always steep. My first quote on my 1995 Honda Super Four was €889 for 3rd party. It came down to €330 then the following year!
Can u ride on the learner permit before u have ibt training completed?
No lad, you've to complete the I.B.T. before you ride on the road as a learner. When you finish the I.B.T. you get a cert called a "certificate of satisfactory completion" which allows you to ride around as a learner.
I'm still in the dark with the minimum 6 months time period - does that apply from when you get your first learner permit, or when you complete the IBT?
It's 6 months from the date on the back of your first learner permit 👍
@@LuckyLukeRides Udaman Luke
@@Magnus44711URI Haha, no hassle pal!
Magnus4471URI yep it’s 6 month from you get your learner permit, that is the very same question I asked my ibt instructor today 👍🏻

pretty much exactly what i spent on mine. but still worked out cheaper than getting my car on the road for the first year
Haha that's gas! Bikes will work out cheaper 99.9% of the time!
Mate where do you insure the bike? My insurer does not do bikes
Liberty Insurance is who I use.
There's also Carole Nash, AXA, Principal Insurance.
@@LuckyLukeRides thank you!
That’s a good estimate, but what was up with the back ground music 😂 please bin that cd 😎
Cheers Roosky! As for the background music I tried picking something that wouldn't get me in trouble. Settled on Georg Friedrich Händel... Don't have a CD, all off RUclips haha ;)
Prices are mad. I'm moving to Dublin to be with my family next year ( I'm from the states) and it just seems so different from how we ride here. Gotta sell my 1980 hondamatic 400 for a 125 with an a1 permit. Its just the prices are mad. €3000 for a brand new ninja 125 if I'm lucky.
Edit: I have recently found out my riding gear is not legal in Dublin. In the states we could wear a German style half helmet and a leather vest and call it a day lol.
Prices are indeed mad over here man. You'll learn that about Ireland very quickly. Insurance is a scam and a legal requirement.
Also, you'll probably have to go through our whole licence system as the U.S. licence can not be swapped directly for an Irish one. That in itself is costly, I've got a video about it on my channel from a while back.
The reason 125cc's and lower cc bikes are so expensive is because so many younger riders are limited to what they can ride so people can get away with charging crazy money for 'A1' or 'A2' legal bikes.
As for you gear I wouldn't worry about that at all man. I've seen hundreds of people with the open face helmets with sunglasses or bandanas etc. I'm pretty sure you'll get away with wearing it. As for your leather vest, that is fine. The only thing that is an actual legal requirement is a helmet so as long as you're wearing that it doesn't matter what actual clothes you have on.

Can u skip any of this if u have a motorcycle license in another country, for example I've been riding in the US for a year and a half already
I actually got this comment recently, unfortunately the Irish government does not recognise the US licences for a direct transfer. You can ride in Ireland for 12 months on your US licence with an international permit but if you want to apply for your Irish licence you'll have to go through the whole system here.
@@LuckyLukeRides appreciate it, that's unfortunate tho but it helps me plan out how much I'll need if I decide to move to Ireland (a good chance I will)
@@MikeOxhard69420 No problem man! I know the counties that can trade their licences for Irish ones are:
Australia*
British Columbia Province of Canada
Gibraltar
Guernsey
Isle of Man
Japan
Jersey
Manitoba Province of Canada*
New Zealand*
Newfoundland and Labrador Province of Canada*
Ontario Province of Canada*
South Africa
South Korea
Switzerland
Taiwan*
So maybe if you head up to Canada, get your licence there & trade it in over here? 😅 #LifeHack

What's the highest cc motorbike you can drive with a A2
Also trying to find out, did u find out?
Its not about the cc, it's about the power in KW. You're allowed a maximum of 35kw on an A2 licence. Some bikes that are 500cc fall in at 35kw but some can be up to 45kw according to the manuals.
Would you drive in the rain ? Looks scary
Haha, it rains so much here man you don't have much of a choice!
@@LuckyLukeRides haha ye I live in Ireland too and it’s just ehhh hahah
Is it an offense to not wear you L vest . Wats the penalty if so
Hey man, it's the same offense as not displaying L plates on a car. 2 penalty points & a €60 fine if you pay it right off but if you try fight it in court and lose it's 4 penalty points and a €90 fine.
@@LuckyLukeRides thanks Luke appreciate the reply ride on brother
@@alangaffney7186No hassle Alan! :) Ride safe man!
Wait, so how much does it cost average each and every year, to ride a motorcycle in Ireland?
Well every year is going to be different as your insurance premium changes.
Your tax will always be €88 a year and let's say your insurance is €500 then you'll be paying €588 a year.
@@LuckyLukeRides thats cheap. I live in Ireland. But dont have any driving license or motorcycle license. But I'm feed up with the public transport everyday. Spending 200 euro every month on busses. I would like to go into motorcycle. And this video is my guide. Thanks.
@@LuckyLukeRides Also I have no idea how much an car cost average each year. I guess it depends what year and how powerfull it is. But possible below 588 every year for having an bike is really not that bad. Hopefully you didnt mean 588 pr. month :D
@@webdigo Yeah, cars on average would be more expensive. I've been driving a car for 8 years and my insurance is €750 a year and my car tax is €250. I've only been riding a bike for 5 years and my insurance is €600 and tax is €88.
@@LuckyLukeRides how much is your gas bill for motorcycle? Like if you drive it everyday 20km or something? I assume fuel costs also determine how big the engine is and how powerfull it is. I'm just trying to figure out if a daily drive for 20km in total everyday, would be very expensive.
