Many people find the licence regulations confusing, so hopefully, this will help you figure out what you can ride, and what you need to do to ride the bike of your dreams.
First, a couple of definitions:-
Moped. This is a machine with a maximum speed limited to 50 kmh (approx 30mph) and no more than 50cc engine size.
Learner Legal 125cc This is a motorcycle or scooter with a maximum engine size of 125cc, limited to 14.6bhp or 11kw maximum power. (These are usually capable of about 65-70mph top speed, but must be able to reach at least 100kmh, or 63mph to be eligible for the standard Motorcycle Practical Test)
Compulsory Basic Training ( also known as CBT) This is the training course to get you started, and it includes lots of on-site training and at least 2 hours on-road tuition. You MUST do CBT before riding any Moped, Scooter or Motorcycle on the road. (The only exemption from CBT is Full Car licence holders who passed their car test before 1/2/2001, who can only ride a MOPED without CBT, but it's a really good idea to do it anyway!) Once you have completed CBT, the certificate is valid for 2 years, and if you haven't got a full licence by then, you will need to renew it.
