I have recently acquired a 1954 Vincent Comet it needs a bit (lot) of restoration and this is in hand.
I would like to keep this bike it has some sentimental attachment. I do not have a bike licence, just cars buses and lorries. In my youth you past a test on a < 250cc bike then youcould drive anything. Looking at the DLVC site things have changed. A1, A2, Full A, Category A, the list seems endless.
Does this apply to me?
A2 motorcycle licence: At age 19 or over, you take a test on a motorcycle without sidecar of at least 395 cc with a power output of at least 25 kW but not exceeding 35 kW. If you pass, you may ride any motorcycle not exceeding 35 kW and with a power to weight ratio not exceeding 0.2 kW/kg.
Pass the age requirement easily!
Do I need to buy a small bike to learn on?
