for U.K you have to have a provisional licence and have completed Compulsory Basic Training. You can then ride a 125cc or lower with a maximum output of 12bhp.

I think this was the system a few years ago, but probably still stands. In the UK you have tp take a CBT to ride any bike. You're restricted to a 50cc from 16 years and then 125cc from 17. You can then take a full bike liscence test but you'll be resticted to 33bhp for 2 years I think) after which you can ride what you like. Alternatively you can take a direct access test and ride what you like straight away (Only available to over 21's or 25's i think). Hope this helps.

In Spain from 14yrs you can get permission to ride a 50cc engine, then from 16 you can take a test to ride a 125cc which the papers from that test will be transfered to you theory test when your 18yrs. In England I think you have to be 16yrs to get permission to ride a 50cc and for learning how to ride a motorbike, its 125cc.

Check with DVLA for details. The DSA are also online , so you can find approved training schools.
If you wish to ride a 125cc , clutch and gears, i think you have to take your CBT on a clutch and gears 125cc.
If your under 21yrs old you cant do DAS on a larger machine.

The easiest bikes to learn on have 250 cc engines. If you can touch the ground , and hold the bike up, you can learn on any bike.

In the UK the law for is 125cc for 18 years, unless you are taking your DAS under supervision. I believe you still do your CBT on a 125cc then do an upgrade.

I would recommend learning to ride on a bike that is the one you will be operating after licensing. Different size bikes have quite different handling characteristics.

600 cc is too big, I would recomend 125 cc or 200 cc.
