Closed Allow CBT riders to ride a 250cc age 21 years and above.

Closed on

Under current CBT laws you're limited to a 125.
125 bikes are simply under powered for today's roads.
This leads do many issues for CBT riders out on the roads. with today's traffic 125 bikes are simply not as safe. the average 125 learner legal bike reaches 60 mph.

Because 125cc bikes are under powered and increases risks, because they are slow car drivers tend to get aggressive and make dangerous moves such as tailgating.

While on a 125 in a 60/70 mph zone you are maxed out on a learner legal 125, so if something happens such as a car behind you is spinning out of control you do not have not power to pull away and avoid a collision

many other countries allow 250cc bikes on a learner licence
