CBT confusion

Hay, i was set out on how i was to take my CBT...

I was thinking that i could do my CBT on a 50cc TAG but another post has said that if you did it on a TAG then you can only use a TAG.

If i did it on a TAG, would i be able to get on my 125cc Geared Bike?

I thought you could just get your CBT and it covers you upto a 125cc Geared Bike.

Am i going to have to do my CBT on the 125 or can i get it on a TAG then run my 125?

Thanks.

If you do your CBT on a manual you can only ride manual.
If your 17 or over you can do your CBT on one of the centres geared bikes but then still use ur TAG.
I assume thats a manual?
Manual CBT = Manual bike
Geared CBT = Any bike (under 125cc)
Thumbs Up

There's quite a bit of confusion with the whole thing, as I think there were plans to restrict a learner to the gearbox/capacity that they did their CBT on. However I think Toby's right, you can ride what you want. I did my CBT on a 50cc moped (was supposed to be on a 125cc manual but something happened to do last minute), and I was allowed to ride a 125cc motorcycle on L plates.

I dont have a TAG, so would use what the co. got.

I have a Geared 125cc Bike and was planning on doing my CBT before i hit 17 (just over a month), then i will be able to jump right on (with me dad following oon his GSX600F lol ... I Wish it was the other way round with me on the 600 Razz

).

If i did the CBT on a TAG (Twist-and-Go) Which i beleive are Auto (not sure as i never licked em, so never bothered knowing much about them, lol) ...

I thought that no matter how u got your CBT it would entitle you to upto a "Restricted" 125, Geared or Un-Geared at 17?

Look,

Once you've passed your CBT on WHATEVER TRAINING BIKE YOU DECIDE TO USE, you can ride ANY BIKE (that is permittable to be ridden under a CBT).

Dammit.

If you're that worried, contact the CBT division of the DSA:

please listen to Toby

Get your CBT on a geared or an automatic either way you can ride on a 50cc (if 16) or a 125 (17 or above) there are no restriction whether its a geared or automatic.
There are NO rules to say you did it on a automatic 50cc so u have to use a automatic 50cc.

I also agree with Toby and others. Although it was a while ago now, they haven't changed the rules on CBT.

I did mine on a Tomos 50 twist and go when I was 16. This allowed me to ride a geared 125 on L-plates when I turned 17. As I remember, there is nothing on the CBT certificate saying what you did it on.

That's what skim reading does Very Happy

So in summary: it seems that there were plans to have gearbox/capacity restrictions for learners, depending on what they used for their CBT, although this never actually happened.

You're fine Thumbs Up
