About the rev range if you want some more drive then apexing at up to 6k or 7k will put you right in the power.

The police handbook is VERY good. Everyone should read it.

I have never known a trackday company to say restricted bike cant go on the track. Motorsport vision defo allow 33bhp bikes, so that cadwell, snetterton, brands and oulton you can go too.

Hottrax defo allow 33bhp bikes, so that pretty much every other circuit you can get on.

I think chris(numbers) is still on a restricted bike and he was running rings around much bigger bikes at mallory.

So get a trackday done as soon as possible.

Well that contradicts motorsport visions website!! :

What licence do I need? A full category A motor cycle licence (unrestricted) is required to participate in a track day.
http://www.motorsportvision.co.uk/tr...s-bike-faq.asp

this is from focused events website:

Requirements for Participation

You must bring both parts of your full current, unrestricted UK driving licence issued by the DVLA and present it at registration. If using an ACU licence you must be 18 years of age or older and if using a Scottish ACU licence you MUST bring your passport to confirm your age.

RESTRICTED,and MSA LICENCES ARE NOT ACCEPTED.

Hottrax dosent mentrion it, but i cant see them being any different TBH .

Well they definately dont check then, I know of at least two occasions with motorsport vision.

And to think of it I have never had a trackday company check my licence anyway to enforce those rules.

that is fair enough. I just think its something restricted riders should be aware of. As how upset woulf you be if you did turn up and by chance they did check. yo uare not entilted to any refund under those circumstances.

Very. I know someone it's happened to. Don't chance it if you know they won't let you on.
