Cost of bike license?

[306Puggy]

I must admit, I was looking at a "street bike" type thing parked up the other day (think Suzuki Bandit) and thinking about getting a bike license and riding a motorbike on the road. There are two major things putting me off:

1. I might get seriously injured or lose my license due to bikes being so fast and being able to nip in and out of traffic

2. I fear it might ruin the appeal of cars for me


But yeah anyone else considered going to the "dark side"?
