Posted May 20, 201410 yr hello folks i have a yamaha yzf 125 riding on l plates with my cbt im a confident rider and feel more than ready for my test the question im asking is can i just book my test and go my self on my bike or is it compusary to book some lessons and go with a teacher? thanks Jonathan )
May 20, 201410 yr i`m not sure but I think you must make the conversion from 125 to a biger bike with a certified instructor.. that mean a few hours of riding on a big bike. for the test you can go with your own bike, but a bike over 599 CC I think and you must find a way to move the bike on the testing area. I think the L plates are also a must for the test.. well, everything I just say can be just wrong lol.
May 20, 201410 yr may I respectfully suggest that you first of all GOOGLE "passing motorcycle test", and learn about what it entails and what is expected, and the costs.

There is no obligation to have lessons before hand, but they are highly recommended, the instructors will point out what you are doing wrong and how you should be doing it and what the tester will be looking for.
May 21, 201410 yr Known a few people go straight for the 125 test. None passed and most were surprised to find out how bad their riding was. IMO, it's usually better to just go for the lessons and then the full-on big bike.
May 21, 201410 yr Agreed, lessons are completely worth it - I gained a lot from mine. Just because you think you're good, doesn't mean you actually are.
May 21, 201410 yr Moderator I had no lessons at all and looking back, really would have benefitted from them instead of learning the hard way. Its the other folk on the road who are the problem IMHO.
May 22, 201410 yr it's us ! in my opinion . we arn't a big enough threat against a car/truck /fuckwit..
