NO, in the UK, the type of motorcycle you can use for your practical test depends on the motorcycle licence category you are applying for. 

The Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency (DVSA) specifies the requirements for the motorcycle used in the test, and these requirements vary for each licence category: AM, A1, A2, and A.

- AM Licence
Age Requirement: Minimum 16 years old.
Motorcycle Specification: You must use a moped with a maximum engine size of 50cc and a top speed of no more than 45 km/h (28 mph).

- A1 Licence
Age Requirement: Minimum 17 years old.
Motorcycle Specification: The motorcycle must be at least 120cc and not more than 125cc, capable of at least 90 km/h (55 mph), and have a power output up to 11 kW (14.6 bhp).

- A2 Licence
Age Requirement: Minimum 19 years old.
Motorcycle Specification: The motorcycle must have a power output between 20 kW (26.8 bhp) and 35 kW (46.9 bhp). Additionally, it should not be derived from a vehicle of more than double its power.

- A Licence
Age Requirement: Minimum 24 years old (or 21 years old if you have held an A2 licence for at least 2 years).
Motorcycle Specification: The motorcycle must have a power output of at least 50 kW (67 bhp) and a weight of at least 180 kg.

For all categories, the motorcycle must be roadworthy, legal, and have L-plates displayed (unless you’re using a motorcycle with a sidecar for the test). The specifics of these requirements ensure that the motorcycle used for testing is appropriate for the level of licence being applied for and that it demonstrates the rider’s ability to handle a motorcycle of that power and size safely.

It's important to check with the DVSA or a qualified motorcycle training school, like Universal Motorcycle Training, for the most current and detailed requirements before booking your test.

The CBT course should last for at least 6 to 8 hours (sometimes more). 

However, this will depend on several factors regarding the dynamic of the group and its individuals, including but not limited to: 

(1) cognitive learning capacity 
(2) rate of knowledge absorption and transcendency into practice 
(3) level of experience and potential habits attached to it, etc. 
(4) knowledge flow throughout the group 
(5) whether conditions 
(6) medical conditions from members of the group which may require frequent brakes 

There is a set routine that is regulated by the DVSA. You will be taught elements in turn, and when you are safe to go onto the next element, then you progress through all the five stages. 

Most people get through in one day, but sometimes a customer may need to come back another day to carry on training depending on how well they get on. 

The CBT course is completely safety orientated, so if you can’t complete all the stages on the day, then rest and return later on, this is the best and safest way to progress. This is also a requirement of the DVSA.
