motorbike
 

hi all!!!

i'm thinking about getting a motorbike , ive had a full license since 1999, can i ride a motorbike without doing any tests... on the road? think i would be limited to a 125 though.

im 24 years old, 25 in march with 6 yrs ncd. would anyone have any idea for insurance quotes?

thanks in advance!

Hi, here's a link to the info that you need: http://www.motorcycle-training.f2s.com/training.html

Hi, I think you'll find you have to do a CBT before you can legally ride any bike on the road, it doesn't cost that much to do and that will entitle to to ride upto 14hp (125) for a period of time but if you can afford it look into doing a direct access test then you can ride anything insurance allowing, then get a mid range motorbike 400-600cc.

Its been a long time since I was an instructor and I know things have moved on since then. If in doubt get in contact with an approved intructor school or motorbike dealer and they will help you with any information..

IC beat me to it.... ;)
ALi

if you have got your full licence then yeah you can ride any bike but my guess is that you dont cause your the same age as me and we were not able to take a full licence till we were 21 which would have been 2003

thanks guys, i'll check the link out!

i've got a full car licence... u mean bike licence yeh?

have u got a bike cally?

no not yet but going to go for my test next year
oh and on our car licences it doest cover us to ride even a 50cc like the old ones did u would need to take a cbt which is £90
hope that helps if u need more info let me know gareth

are u sure it doesn't cover us to ride up to 125's? it says it the dvla book.

positive if you look at the back of your licence if you where covered it would have a little bike on there and catorgy a

oh, i'll bring that dvla booklet to the meet!

Good on yer :)

You're old enough for direct access. This means you have to take a cbt, but can then ride a 500/600 cc bike for your full test which avoids being restricted to 125cc for two years. There's more info from the the DSA site in the link.

You could try www.mcnninjas.co.uk. There's a few instructors there, and many people who have done what you want to and can answer your questions.

Bikes are great, you'll experience travel like you never can in a car. But it can have its down sides. Respect that, and enjoy :)
