PaddyField Posted May 26, 2020 Share Posted May 26, 2020 Hi Lads & Lasses, I am from North London (don't hold it against me) I am looking to find out if after a period of time I am entitled to ride a larger cc automatic bike.As I shall be changing my address I thought I would upgrade my entitlement at the same time if applicable.The categories on my License are-: AM since 21/11/14 A1 restriction 78 since 04/02/03 A 79(3) since 19/01/03I have had a full driving Licence for a car for more years than I care to count.Any advice please.

Tiggie Posted May 26, 2020 Share Posted May 26, 2020 You are limited to 50cc unless you take a cbt in which case you can have up to a 125cc but a cbt only lasts 2 years so you will have to retake it every 2 years if you want to keep riding anything bigger than a 50cc Sadly there is no automatic entitlement or such. The cbt every 2 year thing is a particular piss take in my opinion. Many people don't want to go any bigger than a 125cc anyway so being forced to go for a full license or fork out £100 every 2 years is not on.

You can take the test on a 125, and then you don't need to do the CBT ever again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiggie Posted May 26, 2020 Share Posted May 26, 2020 [mention]bonio[/mention] didn't actually think about that option Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onesea Posted May 27, 2020 Share Posted May 27, 2020 @bonio didn't actually think about that option If you go for training before you do is pretty pointless as you have to pay for the next one up might as well get full license it costs about the same.
