Standard 125cc (Restricted)

You need to be at least 17 years old. A Standard motorcycle licence (A) is obtained if the practical test is taken on a bike of over 120cc but not more than 125cc and capable of at least 100km per hour.

After passing the standard motorcycle practical test you will be restricted for 2 years to riding a bike of up to 25kw and a power/weight ratio not exceeding 0.16kw/kg. After this you may ride any size bike.

Hi Rob
Do you know if your licence has to be sent back to be updated? its says catergory A =<25kw,01

Hi Kim,
You don't have to send your license off to be updated, as the category and date passed with the 25kw is giving you the information required to work out when the restrictin expires.

So go enjoy your new bike, and let's see some photo's soon.

May i add...

If you have passed a standard (25kw/125) test and you turn 21 WITHIN the two year period, you have to do an 'accelerated acces' test which allows you to gain full entitlement, you don't HAVE to wait until the end of the 2 years, but turning 21 does not give you automatic entitlement... if you see what mean. A mistake some of my puils make.

I think that's right

You are absolutely correct Henry, and all is explained in the Direct Access/Accelerated Access courses section

It can get confusing, if you want it to
