Noob Question

[BD10NNF]

I'm a little confused and I've read the top thread regarding a license before you point me there.

I'm over 24 and I have had my driving license for nearly 10 years.
I'm looking to learn how to ride and ideally I don't want a pathetic scooter. I've read that if you are aged over 24 you can get a license that is unrestricted.

My questions are:
Does this mean you just need a CBT?
Does this mean you need a CBT and to pass the riding and theory exam?
Does it mean that if I get a CBT and pass the simple exam that I can ride a bike with over 50bhp?

Sorry if these have been asked before and that they are very noobish. Always liked bikes but stuck to 4 wheels. Please don't slaughter me.

Yes you need to a CBT, no matter what.
This limits you to a 125cc scooter/bike.

As you're over 24 you then do the DAS which allows you an unrestricted license.
Theory exam is required.
DAS compromises a MOD 1 test which is on private ground, slow speed manoeuvres around cones and finally a MOD 2 test which is an hour's ride on the road.

So if I do a DAS then it covers both MODs?

And thanks for the help. With a car it's just one test and you can drive whatever. I think cars should be like this. Limit people until they are mature enough.
