    Looks like a low power 125cc can be yours at age 16.

    Yup - category AM (scooters) and A1 "Motorcycles with an engine capacity not exceeding 125 cubic centimetres, with a power rating not exceeding 11kW and with a power to weight ratio not exceeding 0.1 kW/kg. Motor tricycles with a power rating not exceeding 15 kW".

    That's a real mouthful but manufacturers will usually build bikes inline with those regulations so a lot of 125s will conform. Google the Honda CB125F as an example.
