What's a reasonable price to pay for motorcycle tuition? I don't have any experience riding motorcycles, but I'll be turning 24 soon so I'll be aiming to go for the direct access route - I figure it'd be best to just get it all over with in one long go. Is £1000 an ok price to pay for 6 days of training (including the CBT) with bike hire, fuel, and clothing/helmet hire included?

Sounds about right. You have to do it on a 500cc now, it's a fucking rip off. Before you could do it yourself on a 125, get a license for anything up to 33hp and then after 2 years it was upgraded to unlimited, and now we've got this bullshit.

It's many years since I did it so I can't comment on the price, but I will say the 6-day intensive route is the best way to go. I did it in October, it pissed with rain every day but was absolutely brilliant.

I did mine about 2 years back. I checked a few sites out at the time looking for the cheapest package. I choose this one in the end http://www.biketrainwales.co.uk/direct-access-training.php
They offer the course for £595 (which was about the same i payed back then) however, this does not include the theory test or CBT.
Still hopefully, that price can give you something to judge others on ;)

Christ, I can't wait till i'm in the position to get a bike again. After losing a decent job I had to sell mine. Still i will get there again. Motorbikes kick ass.

It depends where you are in the country to some extent, but £1000 is in the right ballpark. Check what actually constitutes a day of training - often a "day" will be a ride to the test centre rather than an actual day of training.
