Long story cut short, I am looking to learn to drive motorbikes. I have a full drivers license and am 19. I know I can only ride a restricted or 125cc bike. Problem is I have no idea how to ride a motorbike or even a mopehead. I cannot afford to buy/rent or insure myself on one so was wondering if there are places you can learn to drive them and also rent a bike with insurance or something? Then also use the bike to take the test, a bit like learning to drive a car.
Also am I correct in thinking that after obtaining a full license when your 21 you can automatically drive any bike?

I learned off my mates Sukida in like 2minutes but a scooter obviously is only a twist and go

sorry im a bit of a retard when it comes to this, basically from a bit of research I need to do a CBT to drive a motor bike on the road. Obtaining a CBT will allow me to drive up to a 125cc or restricted bike or mope-head, and gives me two years to pass my practical test, and I must use L plates all the time?
Is all this correct?
After I have done a CBT I can then do some training to become more confident and better at riding? Then do my test?

good luck with your learning to ride a motorbike. Riding a 125 should be like riding a mountain bike. If you can do that you will be fine. Iv been riding for 4 years, best advice is to always look up and forward, and dont be afraid to move around on the bike, helps to control it. I ride a honda vfr800, geared low, accelerates hard, need to be confident. Good luck |
