Calling all you L-plate 125 riders, are you aware the test is changing next year? Currently, if you take your test on a 125, you'll get a full bike licence , but are restricted to 33bhp for two years. Next year, taking your test on a 125 will give you a full licence only enabling you to ride a 125! For life. So in other words, there will be no point taking your test on a 125 unless you only want to remove the L-plates. Also, bear in mind, Direct Access minimum age is rising to 24. If you're thinking of taking your test, you might want to think about it sooner than later. We're probably going to have a busy summer/autumn. Please don't be one of those muppets that leaves it until December to book a course, because chances are you won't have much luck... :
