Information - how to get your licence...
The New 2013 Motorcycle Test
Due to EEC legislation motorcycle training is a little more restrictive depending on your age. The practical two part MOD1 and MOD 2 tests remain the same. You now have to be 24 to qualify for the Direct Access Course taken on one of our new Kawasaki ER650n that will result in an unrestricted 'A' licence.
If you are 19 or older you can take your test on one of our 500cc Suzuki's. This 'A2' Licence restricts you to a motorcycle up to 46.6bhp (35kw) for a minimum of 2 years, then you can take the test again through the Progressive Access Course on the Kawasaki ER650n to gain the unrestricted 'A' licence
If you are 17 or 18 you can take your test on one of our Yamaha YBR125cc bikes and this will result in an 'A1' licence that restricts you to a 125cc motorcycle, you can remove your 'L' Plates and take passengers.
New Motorcycles Purchased for 2013
We have purchased 2 new Kawasaki ER650n motorcycles specifically for this purpose. These are superb lightweight easy to handle bikes, their low seat height make them easy to use especially during the low speed control exercises required for the MOD1.
