you can only do your CBT on a maximum of a 125 (i think!)
when you say bigger how much bigger are you talking about?

Take some lessons then you're A2 test!

If you fail, you can still carry on riding your 125.

125s are way overpriced for what they are. Even a middle aged CG125 will cost £500, plus £2-300 for insurance (depending on age and garaging). All you get for that is a tiny bike with a bendy frame, rattley suspension and the stopping distances of a supertanker. 100 mpg is nice, but the engines certainly are not infallible if you thrash them hard enough, as I now know. Whistle

£400 or less to get the test done will be worth it just to get shot of the L's.
