Oh and make sure you are the only person there, I had 3 others during my CBT and only one instructor so was constantly waiting while these 3 other idiots who had never seen a bike before kept riding up verges etc, so tedious.

it's awkward, i had never sat on one before, but you get used to it after about 30 minutes, and you can lean about 10 times further and stay on the bike than it feels like

Are there any 50cc, yes 50cc peds or bikes worth looking at? Looking to buy for about 1k, if not less. Not planning to do much with it, just want it to work.

Peugeot Speedfight or Aprilia SR50 are the only ones even worth looking at.

Elaborate on "chinese shit". Do you mean the same chinese that are trusted each year to manufacture hundreds of thousands of products that are later sold in england?
