if you passed your test before feb 2001 you can ride anything up to 50cc anything above 50 cc you need a cbt

if you passed after feb 01 you need a cbt to ride anything.

at 16 you can ride a 50cc with "L" plates and CBT

at 17+ you can ride a 50cc without "L" plates but still need CBT
and you can ride up to a 125cc with "L" plates and CBT

CBT = Compulsory Basic Training
