Aaron Posted February 22, 2010 Share Posted February 22, 2010 To go above the 125 you need to get a full licence. If you're 21 or over you can do it on a bike over a certain power (normally a 500cc) and then when you pass you can ride anything you like (Direct Access Scheme). Alternatively, if you're younger or dont want to do the DAS, you can do your test on your 125 and then you can go up to something like 33 horsepower (restricted). After 2 years you are then unrestricted and can again ride anything you like.Anyone please correct me if i'm wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aaron Posted February 22, 2010 Share Posted February 22, 2010 Forgot to mention... you'll need to do the theory test, some training as necessary for the 2 practical tests, and the tests themselves. Module1 is off road around cones and stuff. Module2 is on the road.Module 1 costs about £15 and module 2 costs about £75.Training costs will vary depending on whether you need to borrow a bike, etc, and how much training you need.

bathtub Posted February 24, 2010 Share Posted February 24, 2010 Hi JimiBRugby Riders based at Brandon Speedway will do lessons (£50 for 2.5ish hours) and they are good at catching bad habits I did CBT there and lessons before Mod 1. If you can swing it, for £125 the guys at Brackley Yamaha will do 1 on 1 for a full day. I did this before taking Mod 2 in Banbury and the advantage is that they take you around the actual test routes over and over again so you can pick up on any route specific issues and learn the speed limits etc.good luck!Bathtub Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
