What is a Restricted Motorcycle Licence?

Restricted Licence (You must have a valid CBT and pass a theory test)

Take a Practical Test on a 125cc (STANDARD) machine. (We use Honda CG125's Yamaha YBR 125's and Kawasaki BN125's). When you Pass you will be restricted to riding a machine that produces 33 brake horse power (bhp) for two years. If you are under 21 or are looking for the most cost effective way of getting a full bike licence, this is the option for you. Many bikes that produce more than 33 bhp can be "restricted". After the two years, you are totally unrestricted. NB If you pass your test on an "automatic" machine (Scooter) you will be restricted to riding an automatic. Our automatic machine is a Yamaha Vity 125cc.

There is another option, similar to the above option, which is to take the test on a "light bike". This licence restricts riders to any motorcycle up to 125 cc and a power output of 11 kW (14.6 brake horse power). The practical test must be taken on a motorcycle of between 75 cc and 125 cc. The Light Bike test is NOT a popular option and we do not recommend it. Again, you must pass a theory test before taking this practical test.

We are currently offering a FREE theory test on 5 and 6 day restricted access courses.
