If the 33bhp is bothering you that much it might be easier to just forget to plug in the restrictor one day

I wasn't in that much of a rush to get it off when I passed so just waited. But after about a year and a half I felt my riding had improved a lot and took the restrictor out

I don't think it'd be worth the money. In my experience it's only really the peak power that suffers. Tho that was a 400. Depends how long you've got left and how much cash you have (and how fast you want to go!)

why did you do you test 3 months before you were 21? Why not just wait and do the DAS?

i'd consider it

but it's up to you moneywise etc . . at the end of the day it will go eventually but it depends,do you have £300 to do it if not more (dunno about theory test, time off work etc . . . ).

My mate passed his 33bhp test friday and has this decision in 10 months time but i think he'll just hang it out but for another 9 months on top i'd consider it. But again 33bhp is enough use but it's nice to stretch an engine out when no ones looking and if a rideouts pace is pretty fast.

if you can aford it, i would go for it

How does the restriction law work. If you are under 21 when you pass your test do you still have a two year restriction.

Also if you are under 19 when you pass your test and two years of restriction pass are you then unrestricted or is it until you are 21 no matter what.

Final question, when you turn twenty one and have two years experience do you have to take another test or is the restriction simply lifted???

Please exscuse the abundance of questions.
