Changing License Categories to reflect riding big bikes from A2?

lmfy2k · 12 Jan 2016 at 08:41

Hi all

In 2009 i did an A2 test and passed, after 2 years the 33bhp restriction got lifted, since 2011 i stopped riding and I'm now thinking of getting back on a bike again.

my license still shows A2

my question is, do i need to get my license changed/updated to show i can ride any bike now or can i leave it as it is and be legal to ride a 600cc bike? or does my license HAVE to show what i can now ride to be legal?

Sorry if its a silly question!

Thanks

hahaha

still deciding on best way forward, had a CBR125 and Bandit 600 back then, now its all about money savings, want a bike that will return good mpg, my commute is 20 miles a day

have access to wife's car if and when i need it, my car lease ends in July and im thinking of not getting another car and see how it goes with the bike

ive got 3 kids so weekends are busy with them so dont see myself going out for weekend rides out

what you reckon? 125cc or go for a 500? budget max is £3k (new or used)

PCX125 looks pretty good lol, never knew they existed until last night,

thanks mate,

its 10 miles each way

going to pop over to Honda after work to take a look at some bikes

CBF125 has been top of my list for last few days

not sure why but the PCX125 even though a scooter has me intrigued, twist and go, great mpg, plenty of luggage space, LEDs all around, power socket, stop/start technology

not sure if i will be laughed at from guys at work when coming into work on scooter plus is the "Nod" rule still only to other geared bikers or has it changed?

Going check them both tonight
