You need a provisional licence to start with, then take your CBT, after which you can ride a 50cc bike with 'L' plates. You'll need to take the test within 2 years or the CBT will expire and you'll end up doing it all again. At 17 you can ride a 125.
Insurance is likely to be expensive but don't be tempted to ride anything without it.
Go online to the DVLA website for all the info you need.
