What can you ride at 125cc?
In the UK a 125cc motorcycle (up to 11 kW / 14.75 bhp) can be ridden from age 17 on a CBT certificate with L-plates, or without L-plates once you hold a full A1 licence. It is the usual first step before A2. Capacity here is taken from each bike's stock spec.
Filtered by stated engine capacity. Confirm the exact model variant and power output with the manufacturer or dealer, as some names cover more than one capacity.
