i have a full driving licence and am looking to ride a motorbike probably a 125cc
Hello
Motorbikes come in 3 Groups
P (Moped not more than 50cc and not designed to exceed 50 KPH (31 MPH))
A1 (Light Motor Bike not more than 125cc and less than 14.6 BHP)
A (Medium Motor Bike Any cc but not more than 33 BHP)
The first thing you will need to do is ensure you have the relevant Group as a Provisional on your current licence.
You will need that before you can book your Motor Bike Based Theory Test
You have to pass that before you can book your CBT course
The Group A1 is best as 2 years after you pass the driving test you will get the Group A (Unrestricted).added to your licence.

Most states have a special learners permit for motorcycle riders, where if you are riding with a person who holds a valid motorcycle license you can operate. I would contact your local license bureau and see what your locations laws are, because getting a ticket for not having a license when you should won’t look good or help when trying to get one.
If you look on the paper counterpart portion of your licence, not the card part, you will see that you already have a provisional licence for bikes.
You must do a CBT before going on road – its the law http://www.direct.gov.uk/en/Motoring/LearnerAndNewDrivers/RidingMotorcyclesAndMopeds/DG_4022430
