You are right.

You may not ride anything larger than 125cc AND 15bhp (except when under direct control of a qualified instructor for your DAS).

Tell him to go and clarify things with the dealer, then if story stays same go in shouting and bawling about how he's just got back from court with a massive fine

Either way, full of sh*t. >125cc and whatever kW of power then you need license.

So, what mods does that kit include to get the power up to 33?

A1 is light motorcycles isn't it (e.g max of 125cc)

A2 is the restricted licence (33bhp)
