Don't know the answer to that unless they are to wimpy to ride a real bike. My daughter has a 250 Kawasaki that she will soon get her permit for. As for can you take the test on the 125 don't know what state are you in. Also just call the dmv and ask.

You can ride upto a 125cc at 17 after taking CBT for upto two years. You must then either re-take the CBT or a full test. You can use your own bike, but it would probably be a lot easier to hire one from the test centre. To stay within the law, you would have to trailer the bike to the test centre or get a qualified rider to take it for you. And besides that, if you drop it, its better if its not yours. The reason I think you see a lot of teens on mopeds is that they're cheap to run and insure and easy to ride(no gears).

I ride dual sport rubber & don't see any moped after departing city limits for rural byways. Suggest reader
watch product films of provided Source, down-load
2006 Patrol Owner's Manual to study, & find 3 or 4
likely teenagers who'd like sharing your own byways.

because they can as they should have completed a CBT certificate (Compulsory Basic Training) and should be displaying learner plates.
By the way I'm not a teenager and I ride a Peugeot Moped (I'm a 42 year old born again biker grandmother)! It's fab when it behaves had a few probs with it!

As to seeing teenagers on mopeds,many states(like here in NC)you can drive a moped of 50cc or less at age 16 with no drivers license,tags,or registration.Over 50cc on a street legal motorcycle,scooter,moped,whatever you want to call them,you need drivers license(with motorcycle endorsement),tags and insurance.Even on the small mopeds,scooters,motorcycles,etc. that do not require tags,license and insurance they must be considered street legal(headlights,brake lights,turn signals,etc.).Just realized you are from Britain,so am not familiar with the laws over there,but if they are anything like the states,than this is the reason you see teenagers on the smaller bikes

1. Cost could be a factor
2 Mopeds are in a trend fashion with some teenage groups

You can ride a 125 after you pass your theory test with L plates on to show your a learner. you can take the test on you bike as long as it isn't de-restricted. you can only carry pillion passengers once you pass your test. the teens you refer to are either 17 or older or are breaking the law. Hope this helps

Maybe the other teens parents won't let them get a full on bike like you are getting. It happens.
The mopeds can be less expensive to purchase too.
