I want the government to allow 16 year olds to legally ride 125cc motorbikes with CBT licensing instead of 50cc.

Background
I think the government should change this because I feel it’s ridiculous that if you wait a year to turn 17 and take more tests, you get to use 2.5x the legal limit of cylinder capacity than you were able to at 16. I don't think a one year difference in age will give the rider 2.5x more ability on the road.
