On January 14th, 2013 the classification of licence levels changed.  Now an RE Class licence covers motorbikes up to 660cc and a R (Open) Class licence is from 661cc and over.  There is a LAMS approved list of all motorcycles that needs to be checked to make sure your bike is approved as there are some exceptions.

To go with these changes Alex now has a 125cc Honda for the RE Class (this is a very good learners bike and easy to manoeuvre) and a 865cc Triumph Bonneville T100 for the Open Class (a classic beauty and Alex's dream bike!).
