Anyone on here know the rules regarding having to take the CBT for motorbikes?A mate of mine at work has a 50cc scooter but didn't have to do the CBT,however I've been told that if I buy a 125cc bike I'd have to do so.Is this because of the different capacity,or is it down to power output or what?If I bought a 50cc motorbike[I don't like the scooter type things]does this mean I wouldn't have to do the CBT.I'm asking because if I have to do the CBT then I have to factor in the £100 cost of this which of course eats into the budget for the purchase of the bike itself.

You don’t need to take CBT to ride a moped if you passed your car driving test before 1 February 2001.

Mopeds have a maximum engine size of 50cc and a maximum speed of approximately 31mph.

so I guess it depends whether your 50cc motorbike can do 32mph or not

When I first rode a bike, the only training was ...... that's the front brake, that's the back brake, there's the throttle & clutch ..... off you go son!

And the test, well you could see the emergency stop a mile away; take the following left hand turns........

Ah, but your real claim to fame is falling off the bike during the test

Actually, I had to do CBT and DAS - as I was riding my old 125 on Looneys on my normal driving licence, then in the late 1990s, the rules changed, and thus I had to do CBT+DAS, as I hadn't passed a bike test then.

Isn't it something like you have to stop quickly, safely, and in control? I think thats 0 out of 3 then

Still, I failed my DAS first time round, put my hoof down on the u-turn

I stopped quickly so 1 out of 3 

Put my foot down on my second test too, that was cause to fail 

3rd test, again I put my foot down on U turn.    - Pissed off with myself, I did 4 U turns back to back perfectly. I was given a minor as he could see I could do them
