In principle a 'European' driving licence is the same accross the union, and the groups of entitlement on one issued any-where by the union, are just as valid in any other country in the union.
So if you have an 'full' A2 '45bhp' motorcycle entitlement, not learner entitlement, then its valid accross the EU... and when you have surrendered your native (wherever that is) issued EU licence for a UK issued EU licence, should have exactly the same entitlements on it... and you should be legally allowed to ride exactly the same bikes you could 'at home'.
BUT UK licence afgency is notoriouse for getting things wrong... so be worth while 'loosing' your other durastiction EU licence and asking your 'home' issuing office for a replacement.... surrender replacement to UK DVLA office to get UK Licence.. so IF they accidentally forget to put eligible groups on it... you have the old original to 'find' as proof they should put groups back on!
Otherwise you should be able to ride any bike up to 45bhp and over weight limits.... no CBT or 'Compulsary Basic Training' course required.
BUT... we dont drive on the right side of the road, we drive on the right side, as in the correct, side of the road, which is the LEFT side of the road in this country.... unlike the rest of europe, so whether you need do a course to get an entitlement UK licencing dont recognise or not.... PROBABLY worth talking to a school, and seeing if they do some sort of 'Back-To-Bikes' course or offer refresher lessons etc, to get a bit clued up on UK road laws and conventions, and general mayhem.... its a very people packed little island, with a lot more traffic compared to most other placed on the continent!!!
School will also be best clued up to review your documents and give specific advice vis swapping licence with UK licence office. ____________________ My Webby'Tef's-tQ, loads of stuff about my bikes, my Land-Rovers, and the stuff I do with them!

Because Brexit? You can ride on your Euro licence indefinitely, without exchanging it, and I honestly don't see that changing. Oh, I guess it will make insurance easier and cheaper.

No.

No.
I agree with Tef: keep your current licence photocard, at least until you have a UK replacement that shows B and A2, confirmed by Friend Computer.
Never, ever surrender or lose it. ____________________ Biking is 1/20th as dangerous as horse riding.
