Question

What engine size bikes can i ride at the age of 16 according to UK laws?

Answer 1

At age 16, 50cc vehicle only, this can either be a bike, or a bike that has been converted into a car with the same size engine.

Age 16 - 50cc vehicle

Age 17 - 125cc vehicle

Age 21 - All sizes, 125cc and over

Bikes will come up to about 600cc usually, but you may be able to get up to 1000 on some, it's highly debaitable.

------------

You will have to obviously apply for a provissional driving licence (green photocard) and take a CBT, compulsory basic training, ride with 'L' plates on at all times, no passengers, lasts for 2 years.

You then need to take theory test, and practical test, otherwise your CBT will expire, and you'll be taking it all over again.
