Maybe it was typo but I think you can do silver & gold for $50 a pop. Shall be doing the silver soon meself.

Not a typo, the ACC\Council sponsored Silver and Gold group courses are $50 each.

My bad. Was looking at the CBTA cost.
The G/F had a great time on the Bronze course so I'm looking forward to the silver, can't go wrong at that price.

I recommend reading the NZTA Statement of Approval Conditions. It's a 71 page PDF assessors doc found on the NZTA website. It covers in detail the test criteria used by assessors for the CBTA class 6 R and F licence tests. If you read it and do a RideForever silver course then you will be better prepared.

Anyone sat either of the CBTA tests yet, Restricted or Full? Curious to hear what's involved, why they're different.

They are different, because the assessments are based on the contents of the book "Roadcraft" and knowledge of "the system of motorcycle control" ada "the System".
You will be followed by your assessor, riding their own bike, as opposed to a Testing Officer in a car, (who may or may NOT hold a motorcycle licence).
Pass or Fail, you will be debriefed at the end of the assessment.
as mentioned above, head over to the NZTA website, and have a read of the criteria, and exactly what you will be tested on -http://www.nzta.govt.nz/licence/getting/motorcycles/cbta.html .
