I’m 6’4” and felt comfortable on a Honda Varadero XL125 after doing a CBT. Though as folks say above, if you’re going straight to the big stuff, maybe hold off buying a 125 - could always rent one post-CBT to get a bit more time in the saddle if desired.
I never got round to doing a direct access course at the time… one of these days…

Hello, long time listener first time caller.
I’ve never ridden a motorbike but now want to get a full licence. I think the attached means I can ride a 50cc with no cbt/L plates/licence (left side) and have been able to since 2013 (and right hand side provisional means I can ride a 50cc with L plates and have been able to since 2000?)
I think I would just do a direct accesss course, so I could ride anything, and don’t have to go back, and then buy a 125cc to ride for a while until I can ride something bigger safely.
As far as I can tell I need to do my CBT, then theory and practical tests. Presumably it’s easier/better/quicker to go on a short term intensive course? I’ll just call up somewhere local but does anyone have any good suggestions / is there a better plan to get my licence or anything I should be aware of?
Thank you in advance 🙏
Edit: PS I’m 6’6” so what 125 will I look least stupid perched on?
