Can someone explain the rules around (UK) motorbike licenses please?

Question

I passed my car driving test around 1992. I now want to drive a motorbike. Am I right in thinking that I can ride a <55cc bike, but to ride a 125cc bike i'd still need to do the CBT?

Answer 1

you have to do a CBT before you can ride any two wheeled motorised vehicle on the road

Answer 2

You can ride a moped (under 50cc, maximum speed 50kph 31mph) if you passed your car test before 1 February 2001.

125cc will need a CBT.
