As i have my full car license, and was thinking about getting a 125cc motorbike do i still need L plates and do my CBT? if so would it worth getting a quadbike (as you need a car license to drive one as its got 4 wheels) and not needing L plates, plus it'll be a bigger engine.

To ride a 125cc ped, you need a CBT, to be 17 or over and L plates.

Yes, if you passed after a magic date in 1990-something.

YOU always need a CBT I think - though its a good idea even if you don't have to.
