I know you have to be 16 to take your provisional licence and 17 to take the 125cc licence but what are the ages for the other licences?? ____________________ Currently riding a 2000 RS125, ( I have a bike at last )

At the age of 16 you can do your CBT (which stays valid for two years and you can then renew it for a further two years by doing a CBT again) and at the age of 16 you can ride no bigger than a 50cc bike and at the age of 17 you cannot ride more than 125cc bikes.
You then have three choices, you can either do your DAS which is only a choice if you are over the age of 21, and that entitles you to ride any sized bike after passing the test. If you are under 21, or even if you are over 21 you can do your restricted access. This limits you to a bike no more than 33bhp and any bike can be restricted to 33hp with a simple kit but the kit has to be fitted by an approved garage. After two years at 33bhp you are allowed to ride any sized bike. You could also do a test which only entitles you to ride a 125cc bike or smaller. You are allowed to get rid of your L plates, carry pillions and use motorways but not ever allowed to get a bigger bike. Never for the life of me see why people do this test as it is done on the same bikes and the test is the same as people who are doing the restricted access, so there is no real benefit to doing this type of license.
