Hello. I am about to do my DAS module 2 and am looking at a vfr400 nc30 for my next bike. I have heard people talking about a ''certificate'' to prove the bike is restricted, but who does it need to be proven to (ie do i ACTUALLY have to do this) I assume this is exactly the same offense as derestricting a 32mph moped?

Restricting a bike to 33bhp?
- Thread starter James
- Start date
There are a few bikes that are below 33bhp as standard, for example Kawasaki ninja 250R, KLX250
but the VFR400 is a awesome little bike. About 60-65bhp standarg. (as is a bandit, SV and kawasaki ER6N)
Any motorbike garage can put the restrictors in for you and provide a certificate. Costs about £100-150
Your insurance will most likely want to see this too, or they wont insure you.
After you have the certificate, you can remover the restrictors yourself, but it would be illegal and invalidate your insurance, but release the full bhp of your bike for you to enjoy.
A lot of NC30s may come already restricted, or with certificate, so you might get lucky.

You would need to prove it to Police if stopped (they stop us a lot) and your insurers would also be likely to ask for proof when you start the policy or if you claimed.
It would be the same offence as derestricting a moped in that you drive other than in accordance with the licnce and you are uninsured - 9 to 11 points for that little lot.
Rather than a 400 consider a 33bhp Suzy SV650 or even a Bandit maybe. The NC30 is a lovely bike -just to look at though.
