If you learn & take the test on a 125cc, then that's the most you can ride, but that's all some folks want. If you learn & take the test on a bike with the same spec as a 250cc (up to25 kw/33 bhp, no more than 0.16 kw/kg) then you can't ride anything bigger for 2 years. If you learn & take your test on a bike over 35kw(46.6bhp) then you can ride anything from day one. This puts the 250cc class out of the race completely as a learner bike, unless you're going to ride it for more than two years.
Thanks for the answer, that makes sense, also ava is short for available. I 've always heard that above 400cc engine size there was a different tax rate [higher] on the bike, and the fuel costs are very high also. CMS
