Ok so i feel like a real #hole ! After months of planning and looking forward to buying my son a bike i find out that you can only get a learners for a bike bigger than 125cc at 18, not 17 as i thought.
Now before you all laugh too loud , when i heard this i called Randburg test station and asked, i was told in no uncertain terms that you can get a learners for a big bike at 17. Not convinced i asked her to please check and on return she confirmed .
I then called Linex Yamaha and spoke to a sales guy, again i was assured that at 17 he could get a learners for a bigger bike.
Over the last few months ive visited various bike shops explaining that my son is turning 17 and we want a bigger bike , not once was i corrected.

Anyway it was my stupid fault but im surprised at how much confusion there is on this.
