Provisional License question

[That-Kid-O]

Hi all,

I have had my provisional license and CBT pass since i was 16. Now that im 17, would I be able to legaly ride a Honda CBR 125 without taking any other tests?

[Benj]

yes, that wouldnt be a problem.

just make sure you are insured!

OKOK Just another quick one....

My main problem with 50cc was that it was too slow to be on the roads lol.

I plan on keeping the 125 for at least 3 years and in the mean time also invest in a car. Bearing in mind im only 17 and probablly use this 125 to ge tto and from University soon I want to get soemthing decent.

Im stuck between the Aprilia RS125 and the Honda CBR 125.

Im going to sell my current Aprilia SR50 2007 for around £1200 and would be able to top up £200-300 for a 125.

Are there any reccomendations from you guys? for example how much should I be looking to pay/ age/ mileage etc?

Aprilia RS125 will have to have the power valve removed to make it legal within your license and they are also not the best learner bikes. They need top end rebuilds every 10,000k and tend to get ragged senseless by the owners. Try and go for one with very low mileage and you will likely be asked for proof that its restricted (no power valve) by your insurance.

Note however that a 'top end rebuild' is very easy and not something to be scared of.

Myself, I'd go for a cheap second hand NSR125 in good condition and derestrict it if it's not.
I think it's incredibly unlikely your insurance will ask for proof of learner-legal restriction; I have never heard of this before.

Id go for the CBR but everyones different. depends what you want.

cbr for max reliability and min fuss.
RS for max speed and pose.

Yes but insurance companies can request a dyno read out as a form of proof before providing any insurance cover.

Considering his age it is quite likely they will do this.

Never heard of anyone being asked for proof that their 125 is restricted.

Which is quite lucky given that there is no way you could prove it.

Don't forget your CBT is only valid for 2years from pass date also. Then you gotta retake. If I recall correctly
