I've just passed my standard motorcycle test (uk) which means I'm restricted to a 250cc, 33 bhp for the next 2 years. I want to get a new bike soon but everyone says don't get a 250 because you'll want a bigger one on day. I really like the Hornet 600. Can this be restricted for my license? What other bikes do you think I should look at?
I dont think any of you get it. Maybe your american so I'm not going to expect much. IF I BUY A 600cc MOTORCYCLE i can get the engine restricted to a 33bhp 205cc with a restrictor kit. Therefore no laws will be broken. I will may ride a 500cc bike but because of the restrictor kit on it, it'll only be as powerfull as a 250cc.
I wouldn't have asked this question if I new I was going to get this sort of intelligence thrown at me. The law in the UK states that you may get a motorcycle above 250cc 33bhp providing you have a restrictor kit fitted by a registered mechanic. So to make it easy for you all here is an example.
Honda CBF 500 = too powerful
Honda CBF 500 + restrictor kit = 250cc & 33bhp = legal to ride with restricted licence in the UK
I asked for some general advice about nice bikes and all I get is sh*t from people who don’t know the laws or regulation in the UK about the subject that’s in question.
