Full License Question

Hey everyone. This is my first post here.

So I did my CBT last summer and have so far loved my bike. If I were to do my full license would I be able to get a bigger bike?
I am currently riding a Honda CBF 125. Also, I'm only 18 so my full license would be restricted.

Yes,

On 33hp I was riding a GS500, but had goes on much bigger bikes.

That's the point of the licence. Its your pass-port to all biking.
Bigger, lighter, more powerful or combination of.
2-year restriction to bikes with less than 33bhp, but that's still a LOT of bikes, especially as most things can be restricted down, though much more than a 500 twin is a bit of a waste.

Sooner you do it, sooner that restriction 'lifts' rather than CBT validity expiring.... and then you can ride what you like, no more tests, or anything.

AND with new licence laws looming that will keep under 25's from 'full' unrestricted licences, come January, NO better time than to get on and do it.

Only costs £31 to do the Theory/Hazard test; £15.50 to do the Mod 1 off-road practical, £75 to do the Mod 2 on-road practical...

£121.50 and you are 'fixed'.

Ok, so could I ride a CBR 250 for example without restricting it??

Really only £122!! The place I did my CBT at charge £599 for the full License(3 days training and 2 modules)

You can have what ever you want as long as it's no more than 33bhp Thumbs Up

Any bike can be made 33hp.

My 80-90hp Thundercat is a usual option of restricting to 33hp.

A GSXR1000 can be restricted, but you are more than likely better off with a 600 and popping some restrictor in there.
