A point worth bearing in mind GE is that should you be unlucky to have any sort of accident involving a third party you would also have to produce the 'green' paper part of the licence as well as the licence itself. Just a point that many people overlook. Good luck with the purchase and happy riding.

A motor bike doesn't go backwards.  If you're "going east", don't expect it to "go west" as well!! :D

My friend had an accident and the police checked off the categories to see if it was ok for a bike (either A,B or C) so it might be worth keeping that in mind.
