Is it illegal to ride a 125cc on the motorway, I know its not on a CBT before people say that?
Cheers

Perfectly fine if you have passed your full test afaik.

You can ride whatever you like so long as it's over 50cc so far as I know. Obviously you can't ride anything on the motorway on a provisional licence.

Hi

Yep, perfectly legal. You might get pulled up for a routine check by a particularly bored copper if you are unlucky though.

All the best

Yep no problem, did plenty of motorway miles on the CG before selling it, occasionally even ventured into lane 3 (overtaking lorries). Shocked

It is no fun when windy though! Sad

Can you ride on a 2 lane dual carriageway on a provisional license, on a 125??

Yeh, as long as it's not classified as a motorway, a prov license is OK- loadsa of dual carraigeways have national speed limits and are much more fun to ride down, so give it hell Thumbs Up

Dual Carriageways are great. Being on a 50, you don't get anybody try and push past you and no angry cagers stuck behind you. They are great! Very Happy
