A1Difficulty 3/5

If you hold only a category A1 driving licence and want to ride a motorcycle with a cylinder capacity of 125 cubic centimetres and a power of 12 kilowatts, does this licence authorise you to ride it?

Correct answer

No

No. An A1 licence permits motorcycles up to 125 cm³, with a maximum power of 11 kW and maximum power-to-weight ratio of 0.1 kW/kg. A 12 kW motorcycle exceeds the power limit even if its cylinder capacity is 125 cm³. Riding outside built-up areas does not remove that restriction.
