Motorbike testing (UK) - License restrictions - CC as in good health as bhp?

I'm confused!

What are the exact restrictions on motorcycles you're allowed to ride when passing the A1 exam. i.e. The engine CC and bhp. Is it the CC that is predetermined as well??

I'm 22, ride 125cc regularly, passed the notion today and don't fancy shelling out a load for direct access. Just want to ride a slightly bigger bike - around 250cc or 500cc. Would I own to wait the full 2yrs to ride a bike over my 125cc lacking resorting to restricting the next bike I buy (which sounds complicated and probably entitles the insurance companies to bend me over and rape me senseless)

Any proposal much appreciated

Thanks in finance,
Matt

Realistic?

Answers: Hey Matt,

The link below will afford you all the details you stipulation:

The easiest option is to rob your test a.s.a.p. on your 125 and consequently you can ride anything up to 33bhp straight away.

You won't need to retest on a bigger bike after the 2 years ((a)33bhp) are up.

Thats the channel I'm doing it as 33bhp covers quite a few interesting rides and as you've pointed out - those arsebanditbastard insurance companies should be in motion easier on us!! LOL.

Good luck - (was the theory try-out easy? will be booking mine soon)
