Hey there I’m 15 (excuse the age) and I live in UK, Ascot. I’m looking at saving up for a motorcycle for when I turn 17 and was wondering how you apply for your license in the UK. Also what paperwork do you need to fill out when buying a new motorcycle? Thanks!

In the States, you have to take a course so you can earn your certificate and with that obtain your licence (or something like that). The more experienced riders here may give you more useful information than I. But, you could go to your nearest motorcycle shop and ask around. That’s how a learned a few things. Anyway, welcome to BBM.

I doubt that many people here will be too familiar with the process to getting a motorcycle license in the UK (but who knows, maybe I’ll be surprised). Yugen’s suggestion or asking at a local dealer is probably a good idea. Or you could call whatever agency deals with licensing in the UK (in the US, it would be the the particular state’s Department of Motor Vehicles).
Personally, I don’t think that I will ever ride a motorcycle in the UK. I’m sure that I would enter a rotary in the wrong direction, get hit head on by a truck (sorry, lorry), and that would be the end of me.
Once you figure out how licensing works in the UK, please let us know. It could potentially be useful knowledge for the future.
