because you are 42 you can do your DAS (direct access) which will allow you to ride any bike

Do a Direct Access Scheme (DAS). This will involve taking the test on a middleweight bike (e.g. 500cc), and allow you to ride bikes of any size and power when you pass. It's only available to people over 21 years old currently, hence you can do it.

The only reason for youd be restricted would be if you did your test on a 125cc . but as everyones said go for your DAS then you can ride anysize bike
