What is my CBT?

Your Compulsory Basic Training, or your CBT, is a key part of learning how to ride a motorbike. If you intend to get into bike riding, then you have to get your CBT – especially to ride at 125cc. CBT training gives you all of the skills, knowledge, and knowhow that you need to ride a motorbike. You will be given all the skills and support that you need to show that you can handle riding a bike.

Achieving your CBT will mean that you are left with the next step: getting your driving license. You can get your provisional bike riding license with ease, too; you just need to apply for it through the DVLA. This can be done online, or you can do it through the local post office; it’s entirely your choice. You need your CBT, though, if you wish to ride our cheap 125cc motorbikes UK.

When can I start riding a motorbike?

The earliest age that you could ride a 125cc motorbike from would be the age of 17. While you can get your CBT and your provisional at the age of 16, you cannot ride a motorbike of this style or size until you reach the age of 17. Once you do that, though, you could start riding a new motorbike from Direct Bikes. If you are using your CBT to drive this, though, you do have some caps. These include:

  • You are not permitted to ride around at a speed higher than 28/30mph.
  • You are not allowed to bring a passenger on the back of your motorbike (yet).
  • You cannot go on the motorway at any stage of your CBT ownership.
  • Also, you cannot take off your learner L plates at any time.
  • To do this, you need a higher license.

Your full motorbike license options

To ride cheap 125cc motorbikes UK without the caps and limits above, you need to get a full driving license. For most people, that license would be your A1 license. Your A1 is the go-to license for most riders. It’s easy to achieve and is available from the age of 17. If you were to go and pass your theory and practical exams, you would be able to get your A1 license and thus ride without limits.

This would mean hitting the top speed of your 125cc motorbike and being able to go on motorways. It also means that you could take a passenger on the back of your bike. Best of all, though, you can take off those L plates – now that you are a fully-fledged driver, you have no needed to have your L plates on any longer.

How fast are cheap 125cc motorbikes UK?

If you buy a Direct Bikes 125cc motorbike, then you can get a top speed of 60 to 68 miles per hour. This should allow you to easily drive and maintain a motorway-friendly pace. As soon as you have your A1 license, you would be allowed to reach that kind of top speed.
