To take any motorcycle test
: You need to have a current Provisional entitlement
for the category of test being taken, CBT certificate,
motorcycle Theory test
pass certificate and photographic proof of identification
(the new style photo-licence does that). There are very
few exemptions.
Our test training courses
are full time, not odd days or part-time training. Experience
has proven that our method works, our pass rate shows
this.
Our 3 to 5 day intensive
courses cover all you need to get the un-restricted
licence, including bike hire, test fees, kit, fuel etc.
After you've passed, you can ride any bike you like
straight away !
We recommend that (if required)
you take your CBT with us as your first step, before
committing yourself to an expensive course. Following
the CBT we can recommend the test-pass course most suited
to you. Alternatively, why not call for a free assessment
ride? Courses booked after CBT / Assessment have our
guaranteed test pass.
Normal course duration (for
guidance only) 5 day is for novice riders, 4 day is
for recently experienced riders, 3 day is for current
and confident riders.
More detail can be found
in Legal Info. But briefly
:
Direct
Access - Group A
For an unrestricted motorcycle licence, you need to
be over 21 yrs. old. You can then take your test on
a motorcycle that's over 46 bhp. We use 500cc machines,
presently either Honda CB500 or Suzuki GS500's. After
passing this test you can ride any bike you like straight
away !
Standard Motorcycle - Group A
Normally known as the
A2 licence. You need to be over 17 yrs. old You then
take your test on a 125cc bike but capable of 60 mph,
we presently use Honda CG125 or Yamaha SR125's. After
passing this test you can ride any bike provided it's
33 bhp or less (more powerful machines can be restricted
- see list in Top Tips/Misc/33bhp ). After 2 yrs. the
33 bhp restriction is automatically lifted (no re-test)
and you can ride any bike. Yes,
take this test and you could be on that "big bike"
at 19 !
Automatics
Like a car test, you can take your test on a bike with
an automatic gearbox. For those wishing to do this,
we presently have Piaggio Liberty 125cc Scooters. After
passing your test on one of these you can ride bigger,
faster scoots; right up to the Yamaha Majesty or T-Max,
Suzuki Bergman etc.
Accelerated
Access - Group A
This is for people who already hold the A2 category
motorcycle licence but have reached 21 yrs. and don't
want to wait for their 2 year restriction to end. The
re-test is the same as for Direct Access but you don't
need a CBT or Theory test to simply upgrade and if you
fail, don't panic ! You still keep your existing licence.
Light
Motorcycle - Group A1
You need to be over 17 yrs. old. You then take your
test on a bike between 75 & 125cc. After passing
this test you can only ride a bike of up to 125cc and
provided it's 14.6 bhp or less.
Moped - Group P
You need to be over 16 yrs. old. You then take your
test on a bike / scoot up to 50cc and capable of 31
mph. After passing this test that's all you can ride
but you can at least discard the L plates and even carry
a pillion passenger.
