Direct Access (DAS)

You must be over 21 to do this. its the direct access course which means your trained up on a 500cc motorbike unrestricted, and the CBT is included. you do your test on the 500cc and your allowed to jump on any bike. but this is only for over 21s

The first step in doing your test is you will need to do is to a CBT (Compulsory Basic Training) once you pass this your allowed to ride a motorcycle up to 125cc, with L-plates.

Full motorcycle test

Usually done for under 21's or those who don't do the direct access course.

To do a motorbike test (not DAS) you will have to do a theory test and a CBT (if you haven't done one). You will do your test on a 125cc bike and after you pass your test you can throw away those nasty L-Plates and will be subject to a power restriction of 33bhp (25kW) for 2 years. After the 2 years, restriction ends and you are permitted to ride any bike size and power you want.

If you have any more questions you can always ask the in the TSR Motorbike Society
