I went through the licensing process in the UK a few years ago, and this was my approach...

1) CBT
2) Buy a cheap, reliable cg125 (or similar) and ride it as often as possible every week which will allow your confidence to grow, for maybe 3 - 6 months
3) Direct Access training and test (for an unrestricted license)
4) Buy something you like that's not overpowered or overweight as these can be confidence shattering when not handled properly
5) Do a BikeSafe course (best 50 quid you'll spend)
6) Ride as often as possible!

Always enjoy the ride.
Never get cocky.
Always assume car drivers are idiots.

Where in the UK are you? I only know the training schools in the Sussex area.
