Is it 2018 model as it does not look like it and what cc is it

A street is 675cc and that wont be the 2018 model as it has the up high exhausts and round head lights. Still a great bike though

Mine does so does my licence

Who are you insured with?

And the old rule of being able to ride a bike under 125cc on a car license is long gone, that was when they gave out licenses on the backs of cereal packets.

Thanks for the help and comments guys, but there's no need to worry now. After passing my test last Wednesday I went and bough this yesterday...

Thanks again

Nice choice!

You'll still need to take your CBT.

Not if he passed long enough ago, if you passed before a certain date you could ride a moped without a cbt.

That doesn't sound right. Pretty sure it's if you've passed before the year 2000 (or so, can't remember) that you can ride up to 125cc providing you've completed your CBT.

Sorry, completely mis-read Fireskull's reply. I didn't realise he said "...the old rule of being able to ride a bike under 125cc...".

Fireskull · 26 Oct 2018 at 15:34

Sorry should have just said 50cc lol
