As a rough guide you can take the A2 test on a 400-500cc machine (power dependent). Once you have passed the\u00a0Module One\u00a0and\u00a0Module Two\u00a0tests, you can ride any size motorcycle but it must be restricted to 35kW and be derived from a vehicle whose original power is no greater than 70kW. You may choose this option if you are older than 24 years and do not want to ride a full powered motorcycle.<\/p>\n<p>After completing your\u00a0CBT and a Theory Test, it may be necessary for your initial training sessions to be conducted on a\u00a0125cc motorcycle\u00a0before moving onto a larger machine. This is to ensure that all the techniques are in place and you can ride safely before progressing to\u00a0a larger\u00a0motorcycle.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Theory &amp; Practical Test Information<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Here are two quick links to the theory test online:<\/p>\n<div class=\"cols-wrapper cols-2\">\n<div class=\"col\">\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a class=\"button\" style=\"background-color: #5899db;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.gov.uk\/driving-theory-test\/overview\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">READ ABOUT THE THEORY TEST HERE<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"col nomargin\">\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a class=\"button\" style=\"background-color: #5899db;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.gov.uk\/book-driving-test\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">BOOK YOUR THEORY TEST<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Typically, your motorcycle training will consist of off-road motorcycle manoeuvres, covering step by step guidance on all aspects of the\u00a0Module One test\u00a0criteria and on-road riding for the preparation of taking your\u00a0Module Two test.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Click on the links below for further information.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a class=\"button\" style=\"background-color: #5999d9;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.gov.uk\/motorcycle-practical-test\/what-happens-during-the-motorcycle-practical-test\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Find out more about what happens on your practical test<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<h2>Module 1<\/h2>\n<div class=\"video-wrap\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Motorcycle test 2025 - module 1: official DVSA guide\" width=\"200\" height=\"113\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/G3bVhFzTMHo?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<h2>Module 2<\/h2>\n<div class=\"video-wrap\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Motorcycle test 2025 - module 2: official DVSA guide\" width=\"200\" height=\"113\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/gIUw46kkEzk?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>This\u00a0motorcycle training\u00a0is designed to enhance ability, build confidence and awareness.

These may include dealing with other traffic, town centre riding, dual carriageways and country lanes.<\/p>\n<p>Please note: You can only ride a larger motorcycle as a learner if you are under the direct supervision of a\u00a0DVSA\u00a0approved\u00a0Direct Access Scheme Instructor\u00a0and in radio contact.<\/p>\n<p>NB:\u00a0This route has a 2 year experience period.<\/p>\n<div>It is a qualifying period meaning that after 2 years of holding an A2 licence, you can move up to a level and take the full powered category A motorcycle test. This is classed as &#8220;Progressive Access&#8221; \u00a0For example, if you were exactly 20 years old when you passed the A2 test, 2 years later, on your 22nd birthday, you can retake the tests on a 600cc machine (over 40kW) to gain the full powered unrestricted licence (eliminating the necessity to be 24 years old).<\/div>\n<p><\/div><\/div><\/p>\n<div class=\"section-full-width section-dark parallax-scroll\" style=\"background-color:#252525;\" id=\"foundwhatyourelookingfororneedmoreinformation\"><div style=\"background-image:url(https:\/\/motorbiketrainingyorkshire.co.uk\/atbtraining\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/motor-cycle-training-yorkshire-04.jpg); opacity:0.3; filter: alpha(opacity=30);\" class=\"full-bg-image\" ><\/div><div class=\"section-boxed\" style=\"color:#ffffff;\"><h2 class=\"section-title\" style=\"color:#ffffff;\">Found what you're looking for, or need more information<\/h2><p><div class=\"services-wrapper services-icon cols-wrapper cols-3 pexeto-parallax\"><div class=\"services-box col\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rideto.com\/widget\/atb-rider-training\/\"><div class=\"img-container\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/motorbiketrainingyorkshire.co.uk\/atbtraining\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/Calendar-Date-02-128-130x130.png\" alt=\"Book This Course Today\"\/><\/div><\/a><div class=\"services-content\"><div class=\"sc-wraper\"><h3><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rideto.com\/widget\/atb-rider-training\/\">Book This Course Today<\/a><\/h3><p>Contact us and book your course today. <\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"services-box col\"><a href=\"http:\/\/motorbiketrainingyorkshire.co.uk\/atbtraining\/contact-us\/\"><div class=\"img-container\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/motorbiketrainingyorkshire.co.uk\/atbtraining\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/telephone-130x130.png\" alt=\"Want More Information?\"\/><\/div><\/a><div class=\"services-content\"><div class=\"sc-wraper\"><h3><a href=\"http:\/\/motorbiketrainingyorkshire.co.uk\/atbtraining\/contact-us\/\">Want More Information?<\/a><\/h3><p>If you'd like some more information before booking, then give us a call or drop us an email and we'll do our very best to explain in more detail what might meet your specific requirement.<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"services-box col nomargin\"><a href=\"http:\/\/motorbiketrainingyorkshire.co.uk\/atbtraining\/courses\/\"><div class=\"img-container\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/motorbiketrainingyorkshire.co.uk\/atbtraining\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/motorbike-Flat-Icon-128-130x130.png\" alt=\"Not The Right Course?\"\/><\/div><\/a><div class=\"services-content\"><div class=\"sc-wraper\"><h3><a href=\"http:\/\/motorbiketrainingyorkshire.co.uk\/atbtraining\/courses\/\">Not The Right Course?<\/a><\/h3><p>Not the course your looking for?
