Replied to your other post.

If you take a test on an auto or semi auto, you will only get an auto licence, so you WILL need a valid CBT, or retake the test on a geared bike, which also entitles you to ride autos.

Rise up is free.

Scroll down the page to Automatics and Semi automatics.

@Bianco2564 Hope you have a good one

Currently following the changes made in 2021, if the A1 was raised to 250cc, then subsequently a bike could legally be ridden to the test centre ( assuming the bike is 245cc or greater but not more than 250cc) for an A2 MOD 1 & 2 test. Auto upgrade to full A after 2 years.

The major problem is the gov't, they do not want bikes on the road.

Honda have released a range of 400cc bikes for the asian market, not a sniff of them being available here in the UK.

Quite simple, if a training school are competent enough to get people through a CBT, then why not allow them (with more training) to do the MOD 1 & 2 for AM  and A1, and leave the A2 and A to the DVLA, with the A2 being automatically upgraded after 2 years.

Also the A1 should be increased to 250cc.
