125 Training
New Two Part Practical Bike Test
Module One
Module One includes the following specified manoeuvres and generally takes around 20 minutes to complete:
- Wheeling the machine and using the stand.
- Doing a slalom and figure of eight.
- Cornering, hazard avoidance and controlled stop. There is a minimum speed requirement of 50 kilometres per hour (approximately 32 miles per hour) for the hazard avoidance and emergency stop exercises.
- U-turn.
- A slow ride.
- The emergency stop.
Module Two
For Module Two you must produce your module one pass certificate, as well as all the documents that you had to present at the module one test. Module two is the on-road module and typically takes around 40 minutes. This module includes the eyesight test, the safety and balance questions and the road riding element that will cover a variety of road and traffic conditions. You'll be asked to carry out normal stops, an angle start (pulling out from behind a parked vehicle) and, where possible, a hill start. The examiner will normally follow you on a motorcycle, using a radio to give you directions.
Many training establishments adopt the policy of teaching students to ride around the test route. This is not our strategy. We will teach you to ride the motorcycle in all situations, before perfecting the skills required to pass the test. Our 92% pass rate reflects the high standards we set ourselves and this ensures that each student can go forward to take their test with confidence.
Standard two part practical test training is completed on a 125cc motorcycle. On passing your test you will have a restricted licence allowing you to ride any bike you choose as long as the power output is no greater than 33bhp. After two years this restriction is automatically lifted without having to pass any further tests.
