Do I need to do another theory test?

[rich12]

I'm thinking of buying a bike to commute on but I haven't had a bike since I was 16 (28 now).

Obviously I passed my theory test back then but not sure if I need to retake it in order to do the actual practical test to allow me to ride something bigger than a 125cc?

I've looked on Google but can't seem to find the answer.
I doubt I even have a certificate or anything so can't check that.

I believe both theory and CBT are only valid for 2 years unless you pass your full test within that period.

Yes, if you want to ride bigger than 125cc you will have to retake your theory.

Ok thanks.

Can't even ride a 125 on the motorway so I'll need to do my licence regardless.

Can you guys suggest a couple of bikes for me to look into.
I don't need a powerful bike just something that can do motorway speeds and overtaking/filtering etc.

I'm 6ft 2 so needs to be a decent size.
Non scooter looking
Reliable.

I'm only wanting it for commuting during the nicer weather months.

Thanks
