i sense a dragon theme with you Chris? :p that R1 is stunning pure porn, my bro bought his 748 straight after he passed his test and didn't need to run any restrictors and he's 25 so I think Aaron will be fine.
iirc the restrictor only needs to be applied to riders with less than 2 years riding experience and that are under the age of 21, anyone over 21 can ride what they like.

For now you can do the CBT course and get a bike upto 11bhp, usually a 125. You can then progress towards the Direct access.
There are two ways, 1, a restricted test which as Chris mentioned allows you to ride anything upto 33bhp for 2 years then anything after that. 2, The full course which allows you to ride anything straight away.
TBH, the restricted course is not really worth it, after a few months you'll be wanting something a bit quicker anyway.
As of April this year a new 2 part test was released making it longer (supposedly safer) to pass the course.

As for costs, CBT (which you need) will be £100 ish. Theory is £35iirc, and practical is £80.
After CBT most people will get a 125 just to get practice riding on the road, but remember the 'L' plates.

this is true, my bro really didn't hold back got a top end Arai helmet then sent it off to Richard Stevens who sprays helmets for lots of top superbike and moto GP riders - http://www.richartconcepts.co.uk/wide.html think the spray on my bro's cost around £500, here's some pics.
