No.

Get full size L's and mirrors on. And keep the mirrors on after - they are kinda useful.

Dont you look behind you?

It costs around £90 to do a CBT and around £70 is you use your own bike. However, i was told that a RS isnt the best bike to do a CBT on as the turning circle is so wide on them.

Would you prefer the look of having mirrors on the bike, or no mirrors on a bike thats under the wheels of a cage cos you didn't see it?

Legal != clever.

Are you an owl? Lifesavers will only give you a view to your left or right, not behind you!

Can you not get pulled for this? surely its riding without due care and attention (i.e. you cant see whats going on behind you!)

You need a full size visible L plate front and rear. Not stuck on the pillion seat facing the sky, and not behind the screen. Put a stick on one on front of the screen, and drill a couple of holes in the bottom of your numberplate to bolt a solid plastic one on there.

Use mirrors. If I was a CBT instructor and someone turned up on that bike, I'd be asking them to use one of the school SR/CG125s or to go home.

full size plate needed also.

A test cost 45 quid, a cbt costs 90ish. Its cheaper to do your test twice, and if you fork out 90 quid now for a CBT you still have a full test to take. Does that strike you as a bit silly?

I thought your CBT certificate lasted three years. As the earliest you could have done your original CBT was 16, how come it has expired?

Just discovered on the DSA site:

All DL196 certificates issued before 1 February 2001 are valid for 3 years from the date of issue.

A DL196 certificate issued after 1 February 2001 validating a provisional moped or provisional motorcycle entitlement lasts for 2 years. CBT will have to be re-taken if both theory/practical tests are not passed within the 2-year certificate life.

A DL196 certificate validating a full moped entitlement is not subject to expiry.

We live and learn!
Surprised

It is indeed legal, however riding instructors teach you when to check your mirrors, and examiners look out for it. if you turned up on that bike to take a bike test you would be told the plates were unsuitable, as was the lack of mirrors and that the vehical type was unsuitable. the attitude you will get when doing a CBT is a bit more relaxed, but expect them to STRONGLY recommend that you do it on their bike.
