You can only drive for a year though with CBT though can't you? And then you have to do your full test?

Not over here mate. 2years with CBT then you can re-take the CBT if you want which lasts for another 2 years.

They are wank.
I bought a brand new one - did 25 mile on it and parked it up for about 6 months.
Sounded good that was about it but on the open road they are shit slow.
I did the same thing - riding one around a field thinking they were quick, but on the road they are terrible.

Anything more towards off road will be wank on road, Moreso 125's, Even good road ones hit a top speed of about 75/80. Not amazingly quick to get there either.
