Typically in motor talk, BHP stands for ''Brake Horsepower''. What that means, is that it is a measurement of an engines horsepower on its own, before it loses horsepower through other parts of the vehicle, such as the transmission, drive lines, differential/s, and the wheels. An engine with say 550 BHP, may only truly have 525 HP once the energy has transferred from the engine to the wheels.

Can you ride a 33 bhp 125 on provisional bike license with full car license at 41?

Not if you are in UK. You are restricted to 11kw = 14.6 bhp. See http://www.direct.gov.uk/en/Motoring/DriverLicensing/WhatCanYouDriveAndYourObligations/DG_4022547 You will need to do your theory and take an A1 test to ride 33bhp. Or do a DAS and ride what you like. NOTE: Its all changing towards the end of 2008 so get your skates on.
