125
Training & Test
You can continue
your training on a 125cc motorcycle gaining in confidence
and ability until you pass your test, or, if you are
21 or over you can opt to carry out your training on
a larger motorcycle (Direct Access
Training).
Our training
courses are put together to suit you, the individual,
depending on the level of experience you already have,
and all course can be done in a block of consecutive
days or split up and spread over a longer period. Many
people find that spreading the training over a longer
period allows them to carry on with minimal disruption
to their normal routine.
The motorcycles
we use for the 125cc courses are Yamaha SR 125s and
the Honda CG125 similar to the ones in the photo below.
Alternatively you could opt to use your own 125cc bike
as long as it complies with DSA test
vehicle requirements.
A typical "Novice
rider" course consists of CBT on day one, a couple of
hours of road craft theory on the morning of the second
day, followed by spending the remainder of that day
going over the basics of machine control and road riding
routines and techniques. Days three and four would see
you out on the road again, learning, practicing and
perfecting machine control and road craft. Throughout
the course you will obviously be working towards getting
ready to pass the practical test. The test will usually
take place on the fifth day, usually first thing in
the morning, but it can be arranged at other times if
required, for example at the end of the final day's
training. Please note that training for the theory test
is not a part of our practical courses, see our theory
training and test page for further information.
There is no
substitute for experience and adequate preparation when
it comes to passing the test and riding safely on the
road: when selecting and booking a training course be
realistic about your current level of riding ability.
Remember if you fail the test because you weren't ready
for it, it will work out to be more expensive in the
long run.
