What can I ride?
I am 17 and have a full UK Driving licence but I want to get back on a bike as I miss riding! I already have a 50cc CBT. I want at least a 125 now though, I know I can ride a 125 with L Plates now after retaking my CBT for a 125 but in the future I want to get my full bike licence, would it be possible to get something like an ER-5 or similar and restrict it to 14.6 bhp which is the limit for a 17 year old. Not so worried about whether or not it can physically be done but legally, can I do this, I have looked at Direct gov website but cant get my head around it. :-( The categories on my licence are B, B1, f, k, p. Any help appreciated. TIA

I'm over 21 though, but I'm sure I saw somewhere that the age limit is removed as long as the test is passed on a bike with a power output of more than 35kw. I think the direct access course I looked at was using 500cc bikes to teach students on. Hope this helps mate. Oh, Please be careful - 4 wheels are much better than 2 you know! Now you've got your full license, why don't ou thin about doing a pass plus course, its about £135 and you'd save that in insurance costs. worth thinking about, and it only takes a day!
