Just wondering if there is somewhere that hires out 250cc bikes for a few weeks for a learner to get their licence on!25+ adult.

You are on a learners now, and want to go to restricted!Or restricted and want to go full!Or none and want to go learner!
Learner and Restricted are (until 1 October when the LAM list comes in) only able to use 250cc, so if you are going to learners, or to restricted, not much point hiring one, you might as well buy one since you'll be on it a while.
If you are going restricted to full, many motorcycle shops will have a 250cc which they hire out for a 1/2 day or whatever to get your full licence, assuming you've been riding a larger bike on your restricted illegally then you will be fine without needing "a few weeks" of practice.

LAM = Learner Approved Motorcycle
for Learner and Restricted riders after 1st of October, the rule changes from "anything 250cc and under" to (simplifying here) 1. anything 250cc and under, except for those 2 stroke 250 death machines which will be excluded 2. various bikes over 250cc (up to 650cc) will also be approved based on their power to weight ratio
Bikes which are on the LAM list will have that written on their registration labels.

Will LAM's kill the great resale market for sub 250s and especially 2 smokers!

Remains to be seen.Will depend how comprehensive the LAM ends up to be.

I think right now two smoke 250s, rgv, nsr, rs etc often cost more than a 400cc of similar power, I think after the LAM comes in the 2 smokes will still be worth a bit but may drop below the 400s value. As much a I like the 2 stroke 250's, if one of them and say a nice reliable vfr400r which is almost as flick-able in the twisties are the same price, i'd be taking the vfr

Why not try your local bike shop!., many years ago when I went for my license test I borrowed a bike from the local shop for a tray of piss., that was only for a few hours though. to sit the test
