Can you ride a 33bhp

Every insurance company is different. Some will want to see the certificate and others will only want to see it if things go tits up. If the bike was involved in any sort of collision, the insurance company or police may examine the bike to determine whether the restrictor is actually fitted.

What sort of offence? Driving other than in accordance with a licence. An offence which, I believe, carries a penalty of between 3 and 6 points. Get 6 points on your restricted licence and it's game over under the New Drivers Act.

It could also be argued that your insurance is invalidated. Plenty of people ride around with unrestricted bikes on their restricted licences and get away with it.

It's up to the rider. Not something I would be doing, personally. You buy a set of restrictors that are known to restrict the bike to 33bhp.

Kits are common for some bikes which are usually used as first bikes, eg. SV, Bandit, CB etc, therefore can be cheap. Your insurance may ask for a certificate to proof it is restricted. The cert has no basis in law. Search on here for "FI certificate". A dyno print out is good enough. It may be easier to find an insurer that isn't an arse about certs and the like. If you ride like an idiot or you get an extremely arsey copper, you may be asked to provide proof of restriction. See above. In extreme circumstances they have been known to seize the bike to test it.

If you get caught you'll be done for riding outside your licence, possibly no insurance etc. This topic has been done to death on here many times. From next year it'll just change to 46bhp, and no doubt the confusion will get worse for a few years. Keeping the eBay invoice with you to show that you bought the kit is about the best you can do, and is as good as any other 'certificate' or paperwork.

If you did get caught unlikely , you're probably looking at 6 points. Even if they stuck you with the no insurance as well as the otherwise in accordance, because one of those offences directly led to the other two offences originating from one crime , you'll likely still just get one lot of 6 points.

Your insurance would probably be a killer afterwards, though. I agree that it's in your best interests to get a dyno run done, but I wouldn't dress it up in legal-babble. Fit one yourself and let the police try and prove it isn't if they feel it's necessary. As for insurance, Swinton never asked me for proof if that helps.

Carole Nash never asked for one either. Yes, they look very nice, but at your age money is the main issue. Get something without fairings, something like a limited Suzuki Bandit is the most powerful bike you should even be contemplating. In reply to A Longleat Boulderer: yes i thought that but i will be sharing the bike with my dad and so i presume this will bring the insurance for me down? The zxr looks good any one know how they handle the restriction? In reply to 01wills: Fair enough, just take care and don't drop it!

And take care when you first ride a bike on the road. You don't want to become another "Donor". Rob Laird 24 Sep Also, as mentioned above, the zxr and vfr s are also very good quicker, but more expensive to repair if you drop it Rob. In reply to 01wills: bump. Beware an many have led a hard life but there are many out there. Cheaper to insure and 59 brake at the crank when well serviced and tuned normally.

Plenty of parts eBay esp good and cheaper to insure. I run one as a track bike and nothing suprises the bigger bikes more when they are done on the inside by a ! Ridden well you can run rings about bigger bikes. Anyone can buy horsepower but you want to develop real skill! Read Motorcycle Ropadcraft. No plot and very dull characters but it is the bible for riding and v. Pay special attention to the stats on the first 2 pages. In reply to domsha: they have stopped making vfr's for some time havnt they the newest i could find was 92 or something i wanted some thing a bit newer as has to be reliable also i have worked out the weight to bhp ratio will this determin the speed of the bike?

In reply to 01wills: Speed of the bike? That is largely down to you, not the outright BHP. As to age; sure the NC30 is not the newest but it was way ahead of it's time, handles well, has a bulletproof motor, is easy on tires, cheap to run etc.

You have to be at least 16, you also have to attatch an L plate if you do not wish to take your test. Edit to the above answer: I've just passed my test so all this is still very much in my head. If you're off-road on private land you can ride any bike at any age. You can't just stick L-plates up and ride something on the roads these days, you will be stopped and asked to show your CBT certificate.

By law a CBT must be taken to ride a moped, and it is the only test you need to take to ride a moped on your own this lasts for two years before you have to re take it unless you possess a full license by then , however you must use a learner plate at all times. A CBT must be taken to provisionaly ride on a motorbike before a motorbike test. You can ride a moped on a full licence without a CBT.

The CBT is valid for two years. Follow the link to the official site Also you cannot carry a passenger or ride on a motorway until you pass the theory and practical test for motorcycles.

It depends where you ride it! In the UK, you need to be at least 16 to ride one on public roads - and even then, you need to display 'L' plates until you pass your CBT test. If you're on private property - there's no minimum age limit. There are many places where one can take a CBT test. One can take a CBT test anywhere in the area known as the United Kingdom in order to ride a motorcycle. You cannot legally ride a motorised bike under the age of 16 on public roads.
