a 125cc bike is rather underpowered for riding 2-up. not sure how it is in the uk, but in the states, to legally ride 2-up, u need the full endorsement. if the cbt is on par with our learning permit, i wouldnt ride a passenger just yet.

u'd have much better results if u are able to swing a bigger bike. if she tops out at 115 pounds, u'd be much better off runnin a 883 (or equivalent). be advised that having a passenger turns it into an entirely different animal, especially in the braking area. the slightest weight shift on her part, and u will notice it big time. until u get very comfortable with the bike in the twisties, i would suggest u ride solo until then. 1 wrong move with a passenger, u will go down very hard.

I assume you are in the United Kingdom.

With a provisional license, a valid CBT and a theory test pass you are NOT allowed to carry a pillion passenger.

If you do any you are caught with a passenger then you will be reported for the offences of:

-Driving otherwise in accordance with license
-Driving without insurance

Considering you only have a provisional license that will rack up your points and if you recieve over 6 you will be disqualified by a court. Also Driving with insurance is normally 6-8 points and a hefty fine.

You can take a passenger on a scooter. Keep in mind that it affects the handling quite a bit. A 125cc scooter isn't a very powerful machine either so your pick up is going to be much worse as well.

If you're a new rider don't take a passenger until you have at least driven by yourself for a couple of weeks to get used to the scooter by yourself.
