Do I need my own bike?

Bring your own LAMS-approved motorcycle or hire one from Revs for $75. The hire includes a CFMoto CL-C 450cc, helmet and gloves.

Is training required first?

Training is not compulsory but strongly recommended — it builds the skills that make passing much easier, especially with an unfamiliar bike.

No minimum wait time

As a CBTA provider, there is no specified wait time between your learner and restricted tests. Book as soon as your learner licence is issued.

Restricted motorcycle licence training

About the assessment

What is the Restricted Licence Assessment?

The CBTA Restricted Motorcycle Licence (class 6R) is the second step on the New Zealand licence pathway. Passing lets you remove your L plate and starts the 12 month time clock running toward your full motorcycle licence — a major milestone for any rider.

At Revs, we prepare you fully for the on-road assessment — covering road position, hazard awareness, intersection behaviour, and all the CBTA competencies your assessor will be scoring you on. A LAMS-compliant hire bike is available if you don't have your own.

What you'll work on

Restricted assessment competencies

01

Observations

Checking mirrors, scanning your whole environment including blind spot checks. Completed efficiently to maintain full awareness of your surroundings.

02

Intersection Behaviour

Roundabouts, give-ways, stop signs, and traffic light procedures — executed smoothly and with confidence under assessment conditions.

03

Speed Management

Selecting and maintaining appropriate speeds for road conditions, speed zones, and upcoming hazards — no guesswork, just good judgement.

04

Hazard Awareness

Spotting and responding to developing hazards before they become dangerous — the core of defensive motorcycle riding.

05

Following Distance

Maintaining a safe following gap that accounts for stopping distance, road surface, and visibility — assessed throughout the ride.
