What road legal motocross bike - advice needed

[BE57 TOY]

Hi guys

I am looking to get a road legal motocross bike. I have a full car driving license and I'm 25. From what I've read, a CBT day course will allow me to ride a 125cc. What are the best motocross 125 bikes on the market for green laning and a bit of road riding.

How hard / what do I need to do to get a larger motocross license ie 250cc?

Every website I read seems to tell me something slightly different each time. The laws seem more complex that with cars (take test, drive any car you like!)

Hope someone can help.

Thanks

Thanks for all the info. I will check out those bikes. Are there any similar bikes that are in production?

If I can find a bike I like I'll take the CBT next weekend and be ready to rock and roll.

How hard is the full bike test to someone who's been driving cars for years?

You really need to part with more info as to what you want and how much you have to spend before any usefull suggestions can be given as from the posts on here so far you have no real idea yourself , a motocross bike even a 125 can be a real animal of a thing if you are not used to riding .

Say £1000-£2000.

I'm 25 and I've never ridden a bike before. I love my (fast) cars, so the faster the bike can be, the better.

The bike will be used mainly off road, but there will be some road use too on nice summer days to the beer garden.

I'll use it for a bit then go for a full bike test if its easy enough.

Are the restrictions put on these bikes a bit like washers on the accelerator cable? Or can it be out onto a switch so it's all legal on the road and at a press of a button off road I can have more power?

Sorry to be completely bike ignorant. I could talk about running remaps on cars and programming them to say the sport button the on the dash all day long!
