The motorcycle testing system is getting even more complicated and difficult next year - big campaigns in the motorcycling community against the new tests and they are seen as prohibative to new riders - i wouldnt expect to see more motorbikes, but more scooters is likely
Currently if you do not want to ride a motorbike, but do want to ride a scooter over 125cc, there is an automatic test you can do, which is simpler than a full test, but still focuses on proper road safety and awareness - personally i think this should be mandatory for all scooter riders - i remenber a couple of years back a girl i know bought a scooter, having done her CBT, picked it up drove about a mile and called me up to come and drive it for her as she shat herself on the roads and didnt feel capable, this despite the fact she had passed all the legal requirements to ride a scooter on the road - some of the riding you see on scooters makes me want to look away in case of the worst
