    I bought a Yamaha Virago 250 a while ago, but have it stored for the winter. With the great weather about my mind has turned to getting it on the road.

    Any recommendations for IBT training in Cork?

    I phoned a few but the prices seem very high. are they all the same?

    Cheers

    What do you consider to be expensive? Do it shared with someone and it will be cheaper. If you are 24 view it as a one time expense and do it with someone else to keep costs down. If you are in any way proficient you'll get a grade 4 insurance assessment which will pay for your IBT out of your insurance within 2 years or so.

    Ah I never new about the grading thing. I'm not too bad and know the basics of bike riding.

    So hopefully will save on insurance.

    Anyway really want to get it done for the summer

    Cheers

    Go with bikecraft.ie .. Best value guys, great training and I was just short of a grade 2 assessment which gave me a 25% insurance discount.

    I got in just before IBT was mandatory but had to get a grade 2 so I could insure my bike of choice. At the time I used Bikecraft and was very pleased with them- they work you for sure! However, they seem to have dropped off the face of the earth tbh. Everyone I know that has had training since has been with Declan O'Donovan and everyone is unanimous in singing his praises.
