There are some insurance companies that will not insure unregistered scooter/bikes.

If you obtained your full car license before 1st February 2001 you're entitled to ride a 50cc moped without L-plates/ D-plates in Wales. If you passed your full car license after 01/02/2001 you must complete a CBT course and obtain a DL 196 certificate.

Your certificate will last for two years; we suggest when it is close to renewal you book the CBT with your local centre. At different times of the year there are increased numbers of people wishing to take a CBT, there are occasions where you would have to wait a couple of weeks to a month to be able to retake it locally.

For the time being you are not required to do a CBT but the DVLA are looking to introduce this in Northern Ireland by December 2010. Please note when this happens you must go to an Approved Motorcycle Instructor.
