A 125 Auto to a 125 Manual

[Guest]

Hey guys just decided to sign up for this question I need a bit of help with.

Past my CBT on a 125Automatic Suzuki Burgman, and a year later the burgman

decided to go all nuts on me, took it to several shops and pretty much the bike

is falling to pieces, so I took it back to the shop I orginally bought it from and

after several chats we decided to either trade it in or take money.

And after we traded it in I got my self a CBR125 manual, got it home took me about

4-5 days to get used to the gears, and 1-3 days of normal road/dual carriage way use

I think I've gotten used to my new bike, I've had several auto's before so I know how to

lean, uturns and all of the other manuevers, it was just gears I needed to learn so I thought

because I still have my cbt running I can still use it for the bike I have now.

So the question is this:- Can a CBT run with a manual now even though I past with a auto...Do I have to retake with my new bike? Does it make my insurance/tax invalid?

P.s yes the CBT cert has been ticked on Provisional/Moped and not Provisional/Motorcycle

Then you would have to DO a cbt to get it ticked on Motorcycle I would say as CBR is clearly a motorcycle and not a moped

Update Apparently If you Do the cbt on a something and then want to ride a something else

i.e do it on a auto you can still ride a manual 125 even though you didnt Do a cbt on it

so Seems I got this wrong

The CBT seems to go against any logic or sence so you should be Fine on a manual 125 and save some money

Info got from phoning a CBT trainer but check yourself to make sure

bit daft really, only entitles you to learn to ride anyway

CBT certificate entitles you to ride a twist and go or manual geared bike. You dont have to take it again. Well, not til it runs out after 2 years

If I am confused as I was then feel I must check out any Info I post So it is not a problem,The reason I got Confused is because the bloomin certificate has clearly defined tick boxes for Moped or Motorcycle in the machiine used heading but as we know the DSA are not here to confuse us
