Help on starting riding?

[Guest]

I hold a full clean car licence and am abit unsure as what it says on the direct gov page. Can or cant i ride a bike upto 125 cc on a full car licence and just do a cbt test and im good to go and then later on down the line do a full bike test? Im 21 Years old and any help would be appreciated, i thought id ask the best and this seems the place.

i do believe, if you passed your full car test before 1991 or something, then you can ride upto a 50cc on the car license.

you will have to do a cbt for a 125cc and renew it every two years, or if you get the full bike it costs around £15 for mod 1 and £70 for mod 2, so ofcourse this way it a lot cheaper, of and the insurance on a 125cc is so low its unbelievable once you have passed the test

You've probably seen this already, but:

Since you're 21, the sensible thing to do is CBT, followed by some practice on a 125cc bike if you have one, then Direct Access (DAS) when you're ready.

you cant ride any bike until you have done a cbt, then you can ride upto a 125 which will be valid for 2 years

It was 2001, daz If you're 21 then you will have passed your test after the 2001 change over so you have nothing on your licence at the moment.

I think you should already automatically have provisional bike entitlement on your licence (check the paper bit for provisional category A) but you must complete a CBT before you're allowed to ride anything. After that you have full moped entitlement (keep your certificate!) and 125 learner entitlement for 2 years. You will have to do another theory test for full motorbike licence but you don't have to have theory in order to do CBT.

Couldn't quite remember which one it was, just remembered it ended in a 1
