Riding a 125 on my car licence

[Vulgar LS2]

You should already have the provisional entitlement on your licence.

As long as you have a car licence, take your CBT & then ride on L plates for 2 years. You can continue to do this every 2 years without ever obtaining a motorcycle licence.

If you then take your motorcycle test, you can either do it on a 125 in which case you will gain your motorcycle licence but be restricted to 33bhp for two years, or take the Direct Access on a larger bike (500cc+) in which case you get your full licence immediately with no need to serve the 2 year restriction period.

Isn't the 33bhp limit just for under-21s? I can't be arsed to rummage through websites to do with driving, having just got back from Portsmouth via the most horrendous traffic jam on the A34. Took me 75 minutes to get to the next junction 2 miles away and then I had to crawl through Oxon with several cars full of Mr & Mrs Muppet who had no concept of 'making progress'...

No anyone can do it, they just have to take there test on a suitable 125cc motorcycle.

You have to be over 21 to do the direct access but anyone can do the normal test which results in the 33bhp limit

There's a sticky at the top of Bike Banter with some usefull info in it if you've not seen it already
