UK full licence queries

Hi!

I'm checking what power bike is required to do the full test on, they all agree on 595cc, but half the web pages say at least 40kw, the other say 50kw. Any idea which is correct?

Also, I'll be moving from a scooter to a DCT Honda bigger bike. To be able to ride these bikes, which have full auto or gear paddle modes (no clutch), am I required to have a full licence, or is an automatic licence enough?

To ride one of these bikes, am I able to do it on a DCT bike, or do I have to do it on a bike with a clutch?

(First post, will make many more, thank you in advance!)

Would just learn gears and if you end up not liking it, go back to scooter, otherwise yeah that's a little gay.

If I recall correct, you cannot ride it on an automatic. You still need the full geared licence for the DCT Honda.
