two penny worth
I have a Kwaka ZZR 600 sports tourer. Fully loaded, top box, panniers, phone, GPS, music/radio, its great fun, when the weather allows. But as mentioned, respect, for you, other road users etc. You can get about far easier, quicker, economically, no parking charges, no congestion charges in the cities. Miss treat them, act like an idiot and they will at best, flippin' hurt a lot, at worst make you push up the daisies.
CBT is a glorified cycle proficiency test. If you can drive a car you should pass this easily. Regards licence, check you are allowed. On the licence (paper) it lists the catagories of vehicles you are allowed to drive/ride.
In the "stamp" box it should say "A" which means you can ride a bike. If it has "dashes" through this, then you will need to apply for bike to be added to your list of vehicles. This will mean sending your licence away to be amended.
Good luck and ride safely
