Hi guys and gals if riding a 100cc motorbike in turkey what are the licence requirements , ie will a full uk car licence suffice Cheers

Police if you are stopped want to see a motorbike on thye bike of your car license.

If you get stopped at a road block and you do not have a motorbike on the back of your license then the bike will be confiscated

We do not rent motorbikes to anyone unless this is on your license

Motor Bike........Turkey....Do the two really mix safely???

Of course you need a motorcycle license to legally ride a motorbike anywhere, it really is quite alarming for me to think that people assume if you can drive a car that you are safe on a motorbike. People often say they are dangerous but it's not the bike that is dangerous- however they are effectively killing machines if the rider is not in control.
You cannot hire one there without the motorcycle licence.

Thanks guys and just for the record chocoholic i am not an idiot and realise that you will need some motorcycle entitlement on your licence , i passed my car test 33 years ago and on my licence it gave you the right to ride a bike up to a certain cc i know that the car licence has now altered , i merely wanted to know if there were additional requirements in turkey , further i do not assume i could ride a bike ithout some form of training but as it is an entitlement of my licence in the uk i thought it prudent to check whether turkey had any seperate needs. I totally agree with you however that th danger is in the rider not the macine itself . Once again thanks guys

If you passed your car driving licence before 2001 then you have a full cat P entitlement (full moped licence) so can ride anything upto 50cc without restrictions. This may be different in other countries though!
