    Out of all the videos on this I personally think yours was the best mate so thankyou very much for the upload, I was a bit confused about if I could skip the a1 and move straight on to the a2 as i see it as abit pointless for me. Thanks again you've got yourself another subscriber 👍

    @easternmenace 6 років тому +4

    As an A2 and car license holder I feel like doing the full bike license is more of a chore than anything so I can't be bothered. I don't need a bigger bike since what I use my bike for doesn't need more power and it would only cost more insurance wise. The only benefit I personally see is probably lower insurance if having a full license has any effect on that. Maybe when I have money and will I'll do it but now I'm happy with A2

      Eastern Menace I kind of know where you are coming from. ..I've never taken a bike test of any kind. ..only taken cbt. . (Now in my 50s) passed my car test in my 20s and stuck with a 125. .which was good enough for me as I only ride occasionally due to health I then bought a piaggio mp3 500cc leaning trike which I'm entitled to ride on my car licence. ..its also good enough. .i have thought about doing a full bike test but due to the amount of milage (*or lack of) I ask myself is it worth the money and hassle.

    • @BikeMates
      @BikeMates  6 років тому +2

      Eastern Menace I have to say if I had to take so many tests as they do these days I'd probably be happy with A2, but as I done my bike test when I was 18 back in the 70's I get to ride anything I like which is mad really.

    • @robthesamplist
      @robthesamplist 6 років тому +1

      I had the same thoughts being a 125 rider for many years. Passed the theory as a first step and a year went by. One day I forced myself to ring a local school and part ways with 600 quid. Passed mod 1 and 2 first time and couldn't be happier....1 year on I still have not brought a big bike lol. Guess its nice just having the feather in the old cap. Just be prepared to wave goodbye to 600 quid (more if depending on fails) and you won't regret it.

    Good info but, I am only doing my A1 because otherwise your CBT expires after 2 years. Therefore, I am doing an A1 so I don't waste my money on the cbt since I don't have a desire to ride bigger than 125 until I get a car anyway.

    Do you recommend riding a 125 and gaining experience before going for the A2 license and getting a 250 cc for example, obviously a 125 first would be better but I feel like I’d out grow the bike rather fast and can’t afford to transition between two bikes too quickly, do you think I could start on a 250 - 390 basically

    • @BikeMates
      @BikeMates  6 років тому +3

      liam 302 depends how old you really if you're 17 you have ride a 125 for 2 years but if you're 19 you can do a2 licence and can ride up to 47hp, if you're over 24 you can do a DAS course and ride what you like. As for 250 I think you would out grow that quite quick so go for something bigger. Ride safe

    • @BikeMates
      @BikeMates  6 років тому +1

      liam 302 if you haven't ridden before then maybe a 250 would be wise to start on then, but you will soon get used to its power so buy second hand.

    • @BikeMates
      @BikeMates  4 роки тому +1

      Ibrahim Musa channel hi that’s a very good question and it really depends on what you are going to use your bike for ie: if you were only going to commute across town then a 125 bike would be ideal (A1 license).
      If however you want to go on longer rides which might include motorway riding then I would recommend a bigger bike and an A2 license. Hope this has helped.

    • @BikeMates
      @BikeMates  2 роки тому

      Hi that’s a very good question, and there are many answers.
      I personally would take my CBT and ride a 125 for at least a year to get some experience, then take my A2.
      That way you can still ride your 125 without L plates while saving for a bigger bike.

    • @drLazyEvil
      @drLazyEvil 4 роки тому

      If I get it right, after you passed your cbt, you don't do direct access. It's Theory, Mod1 and Mod2 for A licence (or A2 if younger? don't know). Direct access is everything combined, cbt theory mod1 mod2 if I get it right. Correct me if I'm wrong.

    • @BikeMates
      @BikeMates  4 роки тому

      Yakadoodledongywongy it’s entirely up to you, if you want to gain some confidence and experience before going for a bigger bike then yes ride a 125 for a year or so. To be honest if you’re only commuting through town a 125 is plenty.

      Sparky Rides it must have image stabilisation built in then because it’s moving independently to you helmet.

      Na5tyify yes it has got stabilisation built in and generally gives a very smooth picture, but the audio is not so clever.

    Hi there, I'm in London, got my driving EU license for 12 years now, and wanna get 125 cc moped, what is the best place to go and do my CBT?
    Also, do I need to do anything else , like a1 test or something?
    Looks like I don't :))

    • @BikeMates
      @BikeMates  4 роки тому +1

      Andrei Mot hi I don’t live in London so can’t advise you which is the best training school to get your CBT but generally most are good, just don’t go for the cheapest.
      If you are only going to want a 125 then take your CBT and you can ride for two years on L plates then if you want you can put in for a motorcycle test. Hope this helps 👍 Ride safe.

    • @BikeMates
      @BikeMates  2 роки тому

      You can take your A1 from the age of 17 as long as you have a CBT.
      A2 can then be taken at 19 and if you pass that you can then take your A license after two years, or you can wait until your 24 and just do the A license which allows you to ride any bike.
