Standard/Restricted & Moped Test Training
Standard (Category A)
Once you have passed your CBT you can opt to take your test on a motorcycle of between 121cc & 125cc which must be capable of a 62 Mph/100 khm Maximum speed.
If you pass both your theory and practical tests you are restricted for two years to a Motorcycle of up to 33 Bhp/25kW and that the power to weight ratio does not exceed 0.21Bhp per Kg / 0.16kW per Kg.
This restriction can initially appear to limit your choice of bike quite substantially, however, there are firms that produce restriction kits to many bikes for example: F1 International produce over 450 kits which include a Honda Fire Blade and a Ducati 748!!!!
Once your two years probationary period is over, the bike can simply be put back to full power.
Restricted (Sub Category A1)
If you opt to take your practical test on a smaller bike of between 75cc & 120cc you will be restricted for the life of your licence to a bike under 125cc
