50 cc bikes
 
Is that the max you can ride with a full car licence? if so are any good?

i Think ..

Your car licence if passed after 2001 allows you to ride a moped without L plates, but you still have to do a CBT 1st.

If you passed before 2001 you dont need the CBT.

You can ride upto a 50cc on a car licence but anything over that will require you to do a cbt:thumb:

After you've done a CBT (cheap and easy) you can ride up to 125cc... then you need a full bike licence for anything more... unless they've changed the rules.

doesnt the CBT only last for 2 years if you dont pass a full bike test ?

I didn't know this,I thought you had to pass a CBT these days to ride anything,,handy to know as I passed my car test before 2001 so I might get a sit'n screw for the summer commute :)

I had a fizzy, an ap50 and an ss50 before I was 17. Then upgraded to the yb100 with a chopped exhaust and ace bars ;)

:thumb: My 93cc ar50 would have owned your yb100 bro :D got 80 out of it once, down hill.

Nobody round our way owned an ar, in the wilds of devon.
I got a mk1 dt125lc after the yb, my brother had an rd125lc

That was my last 2 stroke and that was about 1988!

The popularity of nifty fifty's was coming to an end in my area when I was 16 (27 years ago...). Fond memories of swapping sprockets to max out downhill speed & feeling far superior to my mates who still relied on their parents to give them a lift everywhere...

bioforger 30 October 2017 05:58 PM

lol yep I remember breaking the 35mph limit with a smaller sprocket and thinking I was king of the road.
