    Your best bet is to ask the BHS service provider this question.

    If you are looking to ride a motorcycle then I recommend taking at least one lesson on a geared bike, and the BHS test if you're confident enough. I went from no experience to passing my BHS test after a few hours instruction; it's not too hard to pass and I'm sure your scooter experience will prove invaluable.

    Currently for car, if you sit the R in an auto, you're restricted to an auto while on R. Obviously you have to sit the F in an auto, but once on F there are no restrictions (ie, you can now drive a manual).

    When I did my BHS the bike I used was supplied (gn125) wouldn't most BHS providers have bikes for you to use, how are you supposed to (legally) get your own bike to the testing area? Most of these places will be able to give some level of training also.

    Thanks for all the replies. The reason i want to do it on my moped is that travelling to polytech and back requires 60 and 70 kph roads. On my learners car license i cannot do more than 50 kph. But i have emailed the driving school and will sit it on a motorbike instead if possible

    1: The law does not allow the BHS to be done on a Moped. The test is for a motorcycle license.

    2: Mopeds are restricted to a maximum of 50 km/hr (by law) regardless of type of car license held. Those capable of more should not be (by law) registered as Mopeds.

    3: Most providers of the BHS have provided motorcycles for use. When booking the test, it is a good idea you mention you will need to book one.
