Thinking of getting a Bike? |
I'm 21 years old, had a car license for 3 years, thinking of getting a motorbike within the next year, a sports bike preferably, what CC am i allowed upto with me being my age? do i need to take a bike test? i don't know anything about getting a bike or what not or even how to go about it. So any information would be appreciated. I'm in the UK. thanks, I took Direct Access course too a couple of years ago (when I was 23). I had been driving since I was 17, but still needed to do the theory test (not very hard) and the CBT (which consisted of a morning wobbling about on a 125cc in a car park, and an afternoon on the roads). I was then able to go out with learner plates on something up to 12bhp and maximum of 125cc. I didn't as I did the direct access, so I spent the next 2 days on roads on a 125, then 2 days on a 500cc. You can do the test on the 125, after which you can ride anything up to 33bhp (you can get limiters on some bikes) or the test on the 500 where you can get straight on anything after. If you do normal test then I think you have to be on the road with up to 33 bhp for 2 years (although I know there has been talk about changing these rules- I am afraid I don't know if it happened) Good luck with your test- enjoy it and relax! When you pass, try as many bikes (friends/ understanding dealership) as you can- what you like aesthetically isn't always what you will like to ride. I got a zr600 as soon as I passed- fast enough to start and forgiving enough to make a few minor mistakes (which are inevitable!). I think some of the new sports bikes are probably best jumped on after a bit of experience, but if you are a natural then perhaps it'll be for you! get a mountain bike You can ride a moped of up to 125cc but some 125's out there are capable of 100mph. You can ride without L-Plates and can carry pillion passengers as well as using motorways. If you wanted to ride anything bigger you'd need to take another test. http://www.dvla.gov.uk You might find advice there, you can have as powerful a bike as you like though, and advise a CBT even if you don't have to take it just to be sure that you are confident and capable on a bike. You can get any kind of bike ,you want long as it's not to powerful for you.so yeah if i would choose i would get a sports bike at the most.and the cc would be about 750cc or either a 600cc Get what ever you want man, I always here people say to get a smaller cc sport bike but they are really not all that much less then the larger cc ones. all the new sport bikes will go over 150mph and will go 0-60 in less then 4 seconds. If your are gonna die on a bike it doesn't matter if its 1000cc or a 600cc just get what you want one the looks good to you and one that's comfortable i learned on a 750 but it was a katana and i crashed once but i was okay just stay smart, and to ride beyond you limits, Ive been riding 4 years and am just now getting used to high speed turning. Everyone says to take the class, i did to get my license and yes it did help a little but remember is that you are going to be riding a 250 Honda cruiser not a all out 600cc super bike. My biggest thing is practice go to a empty lot and get used to the first 3 gears for a while and braking hard. you should be fine. i ave been driving a car for twenty years and had provisional entitlement for a bike already on my licence, but as you passed your car test recently you may not have, so that is the first thing to check. onceyou know you have provisional entitlement you have to do a CBT before you can ride any bike. you can then ride a 125 on L plates for up to two years by which time you need to pass your bike test or go back for another CBT. if you want anything larger with L plates you must be accompanied on the roads by a qualified instructor. if you need any further advice DVLA have a good website. |
