Driving a 125cc motorcycle in the UK with French licence

I think the answer is Yes. All EU member states use standardised driving licences, at least for the categories with capital letters.

The UK restrictions on an A1 licence are

  • You can drive light motorbikes with:
    • an engine size up to 125cc
    • a power output of up to 11kW
    • a power to weight ratio not more than 0.1kW/kg
  • This category also includes motor tricycles with power output up to 15kW.

If your moving to the UK, then you'll need to insure and register at a UK address. (Registering is different in Northern Ireland, to the rest of the UK). If it is over 3 years old, you will also need to put it through an annual test, the MOT.

You will not need to take a UK test, at least until Brexit.
