You can use your own bike or you can hire one from a training school.
Getting insurance cover for doing the CBT is different to doing your test. I don't really see how they could refuse to cover someone when they're doing their test.  |

Of course non will insure you to ride to your CBT as thats illegal anyway. |
Not sure you are correct on this point, but I could always be corrected. I remember having to use a pupils car for lessons and test a few years ago, and I remember that the lessons were OK with the Insurer, but they were not prepared to ( initially) insure for the test, something to do with the examiner is/was not allowed to interfere with any controls, and technically the driver was driving as if on their own. I would imagine the same is for the bike test as I dont think an examiner can tell you, or warn you, about hazards on the road. But as I said earlier, I could well be wrong, but for the sake of a telephone call, I would rather be safe than sorry.

Yes your right with the car, but with a bike your the only one in control at any time, remember legally you cant ride a bike on road by yourself until you have a CBT certificate, so riding it to the CBT course cant be acceptable in any form.
Once you have the cbt and assuming the question is in relation to a 125 then its perfectely acceptable to use your own bike which your completey legal on.
Does that make sense, starting to confuse myself as I type but 100% sure its correct.
