Hardly that young anymore! I'm over the age limit now! Hardly classified as a young driver anymore.
Young drivers used to be off the hook after 21, but now insurance premiums don't ease off until after 25. No doubt the age will increase again before we know it.
Which insurance company are you using? Has it been struggling to survive lately which may contribute to jacking up all its customers' insurance costs?

I'm now rather tempted to go get myself a motorbike! Hoping that would be cheaper.

Yeh it would be, because cyclists aren't easily seen so get knocked over for cycling silly and bikers just drive in whatever lane pleases them (and knocking over every single person's mirror).
Moped isn't really my style.

I gave up my car years ago. I couldn't park anywhere near my house but had to b*y a permit. I couldn't park where ever I went, not could I drink. As I'm very well served by public transport, I decided to save my money instead
