Sorry if the Licence question has been asked before

[Guest]

My son collects his 125 this weekend, 125 Honda with Repsol colours, he likes it.

I am thinking at my old age of getting a motorbike.

I have a car licence but the police (101) could not tell me if I can do a CBT! test on a 125 and then go on the road with my car licence or as my son says I have to return it and have something added to it.

Advice please

Thanks

On completion of your CBT you can ride a 125 on the road (excluding motorways and not allowed to carry a pillion) with L plates, if you want to ride a bigger bike you will need to do your full bike test.

provided you have bike provisional entitlement ( which you should have ) , all you need is to complete a cbt and get the certificate, theres no need to have anything added to your licence. That then entitles you to ride up to a 125 with l plates( not on the motorway and without a pillion)

I hope that pic is one you got off the net and not of the actual bike? Because that right there is a thousand cc, not a 125

As above, you can do CBT and ride a 125 but you'd be better doing DAS and going for a bigger bike from the off. You're already a driver so you have some road sense already so you'll just be learning the bike skills rather than how to use the road network. You'll pass in no time.

Agreed. Unless you feel you need the experience, skip out the 125 step. Just see how you go when you go for CBT...
