Terry Everall Posted January 24, 2017 Posted January 24, 2017 I am thinking about buying a small scooter/motorcycle to take on back of motorhome I passed my full bike test in 1964and now have a driving licence with Cat A, B,BE,B1,C1,C1E and D1E Does the cat A cover me for any size of engine etc Quote
Paul Hurdsfield - Joint Manchester AO Posted January 24, 2017 Posted January 24, 2017 I'm in the same boat Terry, I'm 99.9% certain you can drive any size of motorbike. Quote
DonPeffers Posted January 24, 2017 Posted January 24, 2017 See https://www.gov.uk/driving-licence-categories The categories have changed. My very old driving licence states I can drive cat A & E which are shown on the document to be A--any vehicle (up to 7.5 tons) excluding a motorbike (group D) but including group E Moped. Probably best to check with DVLA. I recall a motorcycle policeman telling a Watchdog type program that he had lost his right to ride his motorbike when he had a driving licence renewal and DVLA messed up the categories missing out the motorbike. He couldn't get DVLA to correct their error and had to resit his motorbike test. Surely only in Britain. Quote
John Loudon - Sponsorship Liaison Posted January 24, 2017 Posted January 24, 2017 You could buy a Honda 1000RR Terry and use it for spares when your race car breaks but use it until then as a motorbike Quote
Terry Everall Posted January 24, 2017 Author Posted January 24, 2017 It would be a bit heavy to fit on the back of the Motorhome!! Quote

TableLeg Posted January 24, 2017 Posted January 24, 2017 Don't know the answer directly Terry but have a quick read here and see if it answers your question. https://www.gov.uk/ride-motorcycle-moped/licences-issued-before-19-january-2013 Quote
Kingster Posted January 24, 2017 Posted January 24, 2017 I have full bike licence and looks like "A" is the one that equates to any bike. Quote
Terry Everall Posted January 24, 2017 Author Posted January 24, 2017 Thanksguys looks like I am ok Quote
CraigHew Posted January 24, 2017 Posted January 24, 2017 yes, you're ok to ride any size bike. You can also carry a passenger. Quote
