You don't need L plates if you pass any test, this doesn't include the CBT.

Do your DAS then you can ride it unrestricted.

No, you can't.

Maximum of 125cc and 14.6bhp.

isn't there a power to weight ratio to be considrered? ,

this Honda 125 cruiser(shadow?) is about 15BHP but it weighs so much its power to weight ratio means it is approved for learners

No. A 15bhp bike wouldn't be legal.

The UK learner motorcycle specification is an engine size of up to 125cc and a power output not exceeding 11kW (14.6bhp). The power output of an engine is measured in kilowatts [kW] or brake horse power [bhp]. A kilowatt is the metric measurement of brake horse power. One brake horse power equals 0.75 kilowatts. Engine capacity (or size) is measured in cubic centimetres (cc/cm3). The size of an engine is not directly related to its power output. Further information may be obtained from motorcycle retailers or manufacturers.

I suppose in practice on a dyno it would produce under 14.6bhp at the crank. That's all I can think of!
