booking mod 1 help please

[leecook385]

I passed my theory today and want to book mod 1, so went to the website and this is where I need help. Want to do my tests on my 125 berfore jan 2013 because of the rule changes, so it asks is it a light bike, standard bike or big bike.
I know that it is not the big bike but would i be right in thinking that it would be the standard bike that i want, not too sure.
the bike is a Rieju rs2 matrix 125 that has a Yamaha engine i think its a ybr not sure.
would ring the dsa but its outside of office hours so no help from them

Not done it yet myself but would imagine big bike is das, standard is for the 125 and 2 year 33hp and light bike 125 only license. Just guessing but so dont take my word on it

There's a list here of what bikes are A1 & A2 https://www.direct.gov.uk/prod_consum_dg/groups/dg_digitalassets/@dg/@en/@motor/documents/digitalasset/dg_197021.pdf

Your bike appears to be an A2 so you can take the standard bike test on it - two year 33bhp restriction then ride what you like.

its on the A2 list so pick the standard bike test

Even if it wasn't on the list the rarely check.

The light bike test just gives you a 125cc licence

Yes, you definitely want "standard".

Sub-category A2 (standard motorcycle)

A sub-category A2 motorcycle [is] a solo motorcycle between 121 and 125 cc.

They must be capable of more than 62.5 mph (100 km/h)

That's you.

For bonus laughs, can you identify the bike on that page that they give as an example of "A category A unrestricted motorcycle is a solo motorcycle with a power output of at least 35 kilowatts"?

Nice one!
Now just find a car park that's unused in evenings/weekends, get some cones and start practising
