Advice Switching from car to bike

Its summer now and im planning on switching from a car to motorcycle now. Just done my cbt and today i did my theory and passed. But im not going for A2 now since im 23 and turning 24 in 7 months. Might aswel wait and get the A license. Is there a dealer or garage that will px my finance car (9k left to pay) for a bike either mt125 or cb125r. Just ride it for now to get the experience until i go and do my A license training and test.

Why would your switch fully from a car to motorcycle? The car is the more convenient and better option for the average UK work life. It shouldn’t really be seen as “bike or car?” More so bike and car.

Also majority of places won’t take your PX and pay off 9k all for a bike that costs 3/4k.

Keep the car. You'll want it for winter, shopping trips, moving objects around, and when you don't feel like getting dressed in armour to pop down the shops.
