No. As of this writers understanding of the law as it presently stands, you cannot ride anything with an engine capacity greater than 250cc with only a CBT & "L" plates, even if you currently posess a full B-class (Car) driving licence. For those over 25, it is possible, however, to take a "fast-track" course that will legally enable you to ride motorcycles of any engine size without having to take multiple "leveled" courses first. These "fast-track" courses are fairly short, depending on the riders' aptitude & skill, but expect to spend around £600.
Yes, provided you have a licence for a 125cc, or provisional licence and are displaying L plates.
The short answer is no, if you only have a cbt you are restricted to 125cc with L plates. The 33hp limit applys if you take and pass your full test on a 125cc bike, after 2 years it automatically becomes an unlimited licence.
Yes.
yes
After a Compulsory Basic Test, CBT, you can ride a 50cc moped without 'L' plates or up to 125cc bike/scooter with 'L' plates.
To legally drive a 125cc motorcycle anywhere in the U.S. you need a class M drivers license. In the UK, you can use your car license with L plates, but you have to complete the CBT every two years.
-that depends on what you mean by restricted- to ride a 125cc bike you have to be at least 17 you pass your cbt- you are allowed to ride a bike up to 125cc as long as you wear L plates at all times, do not go on motorways and do not carry a pillion passanger
To ride a 125cc bike in the UK, you need either a provisional motorcycle license combined with a Compulsory Basic Training (CBT) certificate or an A1 motorcycle license. The CBT allows you to ride a 125cc motorcycle on public roads, while the A1 license requires passing both a theory and practical test. In many other countries, similar requirements exist, often involving a specific motorcycle license category for smaller engine sizes. Always check local regulations for precise licensing requirements.
You can ride a 125cc motorcycle on motorways providing you have passed your test and are riding without "L plates". It isn't the best experience as you are almost constantly red-lining the revs in top gear, but it can definitely be done.
Off road, as soon as you can reach the pedals. On road, as soon as you get your motorcycle license.
No, you need to complete a CBT (compulsory basic training) which will enable you to ride either a 125cc or 50cc depending on your age. You will need L plates on until you pass your a1 test or direct access (21+)
Scooters above 49cc are classified as motorcycles. You would need a motorcycle endorsement/license.
