I passed my motorbike test in the mid '70's . At that time you could buy a bike up to 250cc and bung a set of L plates on it and once you thought you were proficient enough put in for a test and as long as you didn't fall off while the tester was watching you got your full license and could then ride anything you could affrord. I had some real tools ...BSA Rocket3 ..(leaked too much oil) so got a 750cc 2 stroke Kawasaki...(couldn't keep the front wheel down) so got a 900 Z1...(could get round bends fast enough) so got a.Ducati 900ss...( rusted away) so got a Laverda Jota 1000... (topped up too many endorsments) so bought a car,got married ,bought a house,had kids ...God I'm fed up..so will my old licese still allow me to ride any size bike and will my old Barry Sheen replica Black King helmet and visor still be legal?

The validity of your licence will be shown on your licence itself. If you're not sure after checking your licence call DVLA on 0870 240 0009 & they will tell you.
Your old Barry Sheen helmet is best left on the shelf, it would be unlikely to give you much in the way of protection compared to a modern helmet, things have moved on a long way since then!
Recommended practice is that you replace your helmet every 3 - 5 years as the linings disintegrate with age & the shell weakens. You can get a reasonable helmet for under £100 so there's no excuse to skimp on this bit of kit.

I don't think you will do it in time. You would still be on a provisional license (Red P's) after 12 months and I doubt if this would count at all back in the UK. "and also how much time and money it would be expected to cost the average person to be able to ride any sized bike?" You can pick up a decent 250 for $2000-2500 AUD. You can go higher in the capacity (up to 660cc) as long as the bike has less than 150kW/ton. So a 650 single cylinder bike is fine but not a 600 4 cylinder bike as it makes too much hp. You get your learners permit after doing a basic riding course then sit a test. This is valid for 12 months. At anytime , you can sit for your provisional license (P1). You have to be on this for 12 months. As you are only here for 12 months, you could just stick to the learners permit though it does have an 80kmh speed restriction.

Your licence is still good. Your helmet should still be legal, however you really ought to get something more recent - decent full-face helmets are available from about £40 up. Also I'd seriously consider a refresher course with your local training school if I were you. Either way, good luck!

Your license is still valid - for any size bike.
Providing your helmet does not have a tinted visor (forbidden at night-time) it is still legal also.
New helmets (from a shop/trader) must be BS approved.

You can make good money like me with this binary option signal software ( http://forexsignal.kyma.info ) Binary options trading has always been popular, however, this investment fad globally exploded around 2008. Originally known as digital options, binary or the name "two values" was added to give a simpler explanation for trading options. Binary is defined as two values or up and down movements. Binaries rely on underlying assets or derivatives. You can trade in commodities, the forex (foreign exchange market), commodities as well as stock indices.

My partner was the same as you so he contacted a bike school and did a 4 hour refresher course - he said that is the best thing he did as bikes are way different now

If you have group A on your current licence, you're still legal. But dump your helmet, it'll have deteriorated. Get a new one, with a clear visor.
Traffic and bikes have changed a lot since we took our tests (mine was even before yours). I'd strongly suggest you take some training to bring yourself up to date - I did, and it probably saved my life. Made the insurers happier too!
