If you pass your bike test at 18, think it's below the age of 21, you are on a restriction to 33bhp for 2 years. But can still ride any size bike ( as long as it was restricted to 33bhp)

Had a zxr400 when I was 18, various other bikes inbetween and current bike is a k7 gsxr

Consists of two parts, the obstacle course & the on road part. YouTube it, you have to go round a few cones do figure of 8's ect really easy if you have good control on a bike. Then for the road part it's mainly getting use to positioning of bike when approaching junctions. Mirrors, safety check ect. There's a lot going on when it comes to that lol

It isn't that expensive either. I might need to be corrected on this one but you have to sit a theory test again & do a CBT.

Always had field bikes when I was a kid (couldn't afford a crosser) and rode an XL125 on a CBT when I was 18 for a few months, so I've had a few anyway and my bike handling has always been pretty good having ridden road bikes round a muddy quarry a wet road shouldn't be an issue. I've had a couple of C90s, a Puch Maxi, an MZ 250, a Regent 125 (basically a UK market Minsk), and a KLX650 that I had as a field bike for years. Then I had the XL125 for a year; that's the only one that saw the road.

I'd love an old GPz900, wanted one ever since I saw Top Gun as a kid
