You might have more luck in the Motorbike forum:

You would be restricted for 2 years.

Like I said above, there's a motorbike forum where you have a better chance of getting your answers.

If you intend to do a Category A test, you will require a motorcycle with an engine capacity greater than 125cc. Anything bigger than a moped, with an engine capacity above 50cc, capable of more than 45kph, but less than or equal to 125cc will allow you to take a Category A1 test. If you pass this, you will get a full license to drive any two wheeled motor propelled vehicle with an engine capacity up to or including 125cc.

Therefore, if you intend to pursue a Category A license (all motorcycles) you should look for a bike with a 250cc engine.
