How to Get a New Motorbike and Entire Biking Outfit for £300, and Pre 1980 Motorbikes That are Tax and ULEZ Exempt!
16 november 2021 · 30 min
Thank you to Sizzapp for sponsoring this week's podcast episode. A vehicle tracker with no monthly costs and can be setup in minutes. Lees meer
It's not cheap getting into motorbiking. Passing your test is expensive, motorbikes are often expensive, and riding gear is bib big money too! So I've found a £300 solution for anyone who's passed their test and only has £300 cash to buy a motorbike and full outfit.
I then take a look at pre 1980 motorbikes that are tax exempt and also ULEZ (low emissions zone in London) exempt too! Could there be some genuinely cool, useable 1980s bikes that are viable modes of transport?
