From how I understand it,upon completion of a CBT with full car licence you can ride a 50 without L plates and carry pillions effectively giving full AM licence. If want to ride a 125 then need to update CBT every two years.

I don't know how it works fully but there's perhaps a way around?Warren t claim wrote: ↑Sun Mar 17, 2024 10:39 pm Can a 16 year old still ride an unrestricted pre '77 50?

Maybe he had a 125 for 2 years then didn't bother and went to a 50. Would work in towns and cities where congestion is an issue and 25-30 mph is a distant dream.Warren t claim wrote: ↑Sun Mar 17, 2024 10:44 pmI've never CBT'd a punter so he can ride a 50 in a car licence.

No way my mates and I would've been dead on a restricted 50 back in 1986.

Re: Scooter for a 16 year old
No way would we back in 2003. My zip 50 did a good 50+ when derestricted,Yamaha BWS 50 did around 45,Suzuki katana was on its arse at 55 and the derbi predator did an indicated 60 but it was a derbi so probably 45-50. My first 125 was a 1976 jawa 125. If I knew then what I know now id have kept that old tank.Warren t claim wrote: ↑Sun Mar 17, 2024 10:58 pm No way my mates and I would've been dead on a restricted 50 back in 1986.

Re: Scooter for a 16 year old
Probably not, because they don't have a cat p. Given that you can't get cat p now (only those with granddad rights retain it), they'd have to get A1.Warren t claim wrote: ↑Sun Mar 17, 2024 10:39 pm Can a 16 year old still ride an unrestricted pre '77 50?

The C90 was the chosen steed for men into Dungeon's and Dragons who live with their mum and have a suspect internet browsing history.bub2006 wrote: ↑Sun Mar 17, 2024 11:05 pmI always had a soft spot for the honda c90 as me mam had one.

Re old mopeds:
It's like derestricting or being over the power-to-weight clause shoves you up to the next category that covers it.
Also, cat p is a national category for home turf. Doesn't have automatic recognition in Euroland.
