William passes motorbike test

Prince William has passed his motorbike test, it was announced on 22nd April 2002. St James's Palace said William took the exam earlier this year, two years after passing his basic motorbike test.

The prince practised on his red Kawasaki 125cc bike on his father's Highgrove Estate in Gloucestershire.

The palace would not comment on reports that the Prince of Wales is concerned William wants to upgrade to a larger and faster machine than the Kawasaki used for the test.
