Quick update for everyone, I got my training done last weekend, picked up my M2 on Monday, compared insurance options and bought a good condition CB650R, bought new gear, and looking forward to the riding season now! Safety is pending, but it seems there shouldn't be much apart from a broken...

Thanks @voyageur , yes, I'm doing it through Rider Training at Scarborough location. I guess once I've done the M1->M2 course I can just walk in to drivetest and get the updated license. Not going for a test directly at Drivetest centre as planned earlier.

Thanks for the amazing guidance everyone @Evoex @PrivatePilot @voyageur and @bigpoppa , I have re-booked my M2 training for Apr 1st week after confirming with DriveTest that I do not have to wait for the M when I go for the M2 training route. Also confirmed with my insurance that they don't even...

The plan now is to verify on Monday if I can do M2 training post M1 and still keeping waiting period waived off for M, as @Evoex mentioned is sometimes possible. If so, will get M1, do M2 course, obtain M2, and then finally try getting full M license. Thanks again everyone! Really appreciate the...

Thanks @Evoex , that would be amazing! I could not find this information anywhere, really appreciate it! If I am allowed to skip waiting period between M2-M, I am definitely doing it. Will definitely save a lot of insurance money in the long run. Really glad I joined this group!

Thanks @PrivatePilot , I agree, Insurance is crazy but I'm okay paying upto 3k-4k ish per year rate between getting my M1 and M if I am able to get the insurance on M1 that is. I am 35 and if the history gets accounted for, it might be worth a gamble. If not, I will definitely head for M2...

Thanks @voyageur , you bring up a good point, the only thing I need to make sure is that doing the course doesn't trigger getting an M2 license by default. That will push out my M licensing eligibility date ahead as I'd have to complete the mandatory waiting period in that situation. Will check...

Thanks @bigpoppa , the thought behind step 1 going in first was that there might probably be better deals on used ones right now, but can be deferred I guess. For step 4, the drive test people suggested I just take the M1 when the weather gets good and then immediately apply for M Test. Usually...

Planning to start riding again this year, wanted to say hi and possibly get some insights from everyone. My profile bio has some info about me but I'm starting to ride again this year, my riding experience has mostly been on a 180cc bike back in India. I am aware riding here is different and...
