currently you can ride any cc bike one pass, providing your 21+ after the chnages come in you will need to take a test for every cc so cannot jump on to a r1 say if your 21

Mate i think their going to include an off road section , the test will be longer. Due to the extra section the prices will rise and apparently there will only be 60ish test centers in the UK .At present there is 260.
I heard this from another biker who probably heard it from his mates mates mate etc
So dont quote me on any of this

if you book your test before the end of September you will do the old test,after that date....your fooked.

there is still plenty of time to do all your training etc....

i have just booked my CBT for next Sunday and my lessons the following Saturday,test for the big bike is onn the Monday....going to be a bit of a rush.

if i fail it, i will have time to book another one,so it won't be too bad.

you don't have to buy one yet, just do the test now while its a bit easier and cheaper.

the new test will cost nearly double,thats what i have been told by the people i'm with, so its better to get it in now.

Got my bike theory on weds, when i rang the local bike training place they didnt even know exactly what was being changed, only bit they said was about being stuck wi a 125 no matter how old you are.
