The law regarding motorcycles.

Does anyone know what year the law came in that brought the engine capacity down from 250-125cc's fro 17 year olds?

Thanks

1983, under the 1981 act, according to that.

However, I am convinced that the minimum age for riding over 50 cc was raised to 17 on 1 January 1972, not 1971 as stated, so there's no guaranteeing the website's correct.
