Yes, you can. You will do the test on a 125 bike, and will be legally restricted to 33bhp for two years after though. The CBT certificate only lasts for two years also, so you'll want to do it before then, or you'll have to shell out another £100.

Yes, it will likely make about 26 or so bhp. The minor issue is whether it will fit under the power to weight ratio.

Quote:
Motorcycles up to 25kW(33bhp) and a power to weight ratio not exceeding 0.16kW / kg. Motorcycle combination with a power to weight ratio not exceeding 0.16kW / kg.


26 hp =19.1 kW. 132kg. 19.1/132 =0.145, so you should be fine. Thumbs Up
