Category A test (33bhp) questions...

First of all which bike should I use, as it needs to be 120-125cc, and I have the RS50, and a 400cc. What bike do most people use? Do they hire it from somewhere?

Also are motorways involved in the test? Will I be using dual carriageways and motorways?

How long does the test take?

Matt

Take some lessons. You will get bike hire there too (includes insurance etc...)

You may think that you can pass, more than likely that you wont.

No motorways but you may get a dual carrigeway. This will all be explained if you took lessons. The instructer will also take you around a few test routes too.

Test takes 30-45 minutes.

Yeah I am gonna get some lessons. So the instructor will hire me a bike? Cool, the one near me has got CG125s which look like easy bikes to ride, better turning circle than the RS50 etc.

As I'm 17 now and got the CBT already I can do the lessons on his CG125 can't I? If his insurance covers me?

I've been up dual carriageways on the 50, and I know the theory of motorways just never used one, so it should be fine Thumbs Up

Thanks
Matt Thumbs Up

What bike do people use, either their own or one that belongs to a training school.

Motorways aren't involved as you're not allowed on them until you've got a full license.

Test takes about 40 minutes.

You say you're 17 and already done your CBT, yes you can take lessons on a CG125 and you would be covered under their insurance unless it's some dodgy backstreet training school. Smile
