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

I took the test when I was 17, was restricted 2 years to 33bhp, then now unrestricted. You mean you're not allowed to take the DAS until 21?

Licence
If you have a full unrestricted manual licence this is for a car. Check your licence. It should have a picture of motorcycle. If it has "A" by it then you can ride a motorcycle. Now you can apply for your CBT and train appropriately. If on your licence you do not have the priviledge stated then you need to apply for the motorcycle to be added to your priviledges on your licence. You cannot ride a motorcycle under any circumstance without this on your licence.

What I was trying to get through was that if you take a MOTORCYCLE test when you're 17, you're restricted to 33hp for 2 years from the test pass date. So in my case my license became unrestricted when I was 19 years old.
