Motorcycle CBT?

passatrider

I recently bought a 100cc scooter and had to take a CBT test even though I've held a full car licence since 1986.

What I want to know is do I have to take the CBT again in two years time if I've not gained my full bike licence within that time? I'm a bit confused as I'm being led to believe I don't have to do the CBT again as I gained my full licence before a certain date?

Any ideas?

Thats only to validate your full moped entitlement.

Provisional licence= CBT every 2 years.

Yes, you need to do your CBT every 2 years for a 100cc machine.

As you took your test in 1986 you have full moped entitlement already. So you can ride a Moped (sub 50cc, limited top speed) on your licence without taking a CBT, and without L plates. Anything bigger (or faster, like if you de-restricted a Moped) you need to do your CBT and re-take every two years.

Bigjl is correct in that you can validate a moped entitlement for ever by doing a CBT, but that is only required for people who passed their car test after Feb 2001, since they only have provisional, rather than full, moped entitlement.

Ok, thanks for the info!

Our Masters in Brussels are changing Motorbike licence rules and tests from January 2013, so it's probably a good idea to aim to do your test before then anyway.
