What do you need to drive a 125 motor bike?

Answer 1

motorcycle licence law: CBTThis answer applies to the UK only

To ride a 125cc motocycle in the America you must be at least 17 years old. You must then pass a CBT (Compulsory Basic Training) course on a 125cc motorcycle. This is a full day course where you will be taught how to control the bike, this is done off road. You then watch a safety video, and will receive classroom instruction about safety (including required clothing e.g.helmet) and about riding on the road. Then if the instructor thinks that you are ready you will do a 2 hour observed ride on the road. For this you will be followed at all times by the instructor, who will be in radio contact with you. After this ride you will receive feedback on the ride, and if you showed correct and safe use of the bike, a showed an understanding of the highway code you will be given a CBT certificate, which will allow you to ride a 125cc bike, but you must dispaly L plates atall times, and you must not carry a pillion passenger, or ride on the motorway. CBTs only last for 2 years, after which they must be taken again. Once you have obtained your CBT you can have riding lessons and take the full bike test. In the UK you have to be 18 to ride on the main roads on a 125cc bike.

You must hold a provisional driving licence to take a CBT.
