After passing the 125cc motorcycle test you will be restricted for 2 years to riding a bike of up to 25kw (34bhp). After this you may ride a bike of any size.

DIRECT ACCESS TRAINING

The Law allows riders over the age of 21, or those who reach 21 before their 2 year restriction ends to move immediately onto larger machines via a system of Direct Access or Accelerated Access training. We have a range of 500cc+ motorcycles for this training. Call the Scheme Office for further details if you would like this option.
