Re: Honda Pcx 125 from cornwall :D
At what point, or test, or age, can you take it off?
Re: Honda Pcx 125 from cornwall :D
at 16 you can the the test and only ride a 50cc-125cc and you can take the L plate off unless you do a big bike test or A1

Re: Honda Pcx 125 from cornwall :D
We can learn on up to 650cc in our state so long as not overpowered. In the UK I don't think they sell the 150 because of their 125 restriction. Not many folk would trade up from a 125 to 150 they would go bigger.
Re: Honda Pcx 125 from cornwall :D
For us to ride a bigger bike we need to take another test and then have it restricted to 30bhp for 2 years

Re: Honda Pcx 125 from cornwall :D
^ That's called "progressive access". Wait until you're 24, take the test (and pass it) and you're directly entitled to ride any capacity two-wheeler ("direct access").
Here's more on the L-plate system.

Driving licence in the European Union. There was a major overhaul this year aimed at more safety, security and fewer deaths.

I have learned from my mistakes, and I am sure I can repeat them exactly.

Re: Honda Pcx 125 from cornwall :D
Sounds reasonable to me. I couldn't believe that after a weekend course and 12 hours in a parking lot on a 1998 Honda Rebel, that I could get my motorcycle endorsement and go out and get whatever bike I wanted and take to the roads. Even at 44, that would not have been a wise thing for me to do, but it would have been perfectly legal to do it.

Re: Honda Pcx 125 from cornwall :D
I agree with dustin & worse, people will borrow small 50-100cc scooters
to breeze through the BMV skills test, get their full endorsement & then go off and buy a crotch rocket or 700 lb cruiser, only being a beginner & ultimately crash it because of lack of skills or experience.

Here in Utah they have a graded system. If you test on a 250cc or less, that's what you're limited to. You can't go out and buy a big bike unless you retest on it and pass. It's a pretty good way to stop people from buying more than they can handle.

Re: Honda Pcx 125 from cornwall :D
I think that's wise. I'm just a beginner rider, and may upgrade to a motorcycle at some point, but not having to worry about shifting gears makes a scooter so much more fun and safe for me, and therefore everyone else on the road. Let's face it, retesting just for an auto license every few years is probably a good idea too.
