I have never ridden a restricted bike and to be honest cannot understand why people do?
My L plate riding went something like :- FS1E, D10, D14, C15, Hustler, followed by a GT750, GS850 and a Moto Martin CBX. I never felt the need to get a bigger bike and somehow cut its nuts off. So why apart from a stupid law do kids pay over the odds for a bigger bike, therefore higher insurance grouping etc and then strangle the poor thing. Surely they would be better off on a small 4/500 type bike and learn how to ride for two years then get a full power bike. Better still though get rid of all the motorcycle learner/young rider laws. A single route for all, probably based on DAS, but that means you cannot ride alone on L plates.

4/500s are still over 33bhp
They are also suicidal on the motorway, rare, no cheaper to insure etc. Plus buying bikes <33bhp is expensive for what you get, it's better to run about on a restricted bike for a bit. You think anyone feels the need to get a big bike and cut it's nuts off? It's just the bullsh*t you're lumbered with if you're <21 and want a bike you can actually use.

Well i put them back in today for two reasons.
1. To be legal on the road again. 2. The weather, Im less likely to spin the back wheel (Im very throttle happy usually) It works, changes my riding style, its so slow theres no point riding like before. |

I always used to nail it out of work when it was cold to warm the rear tyre up, it would spin up and then slide as I backed off.
Put a smile on my face every day, although what wasn't as amusing was another rider high siding after doing pretty much the same thing... Druid

Those restrictors came with a set of carbs that came with a spare engine I bought, I've never had a restricted license nor ridden with them fitted[1].

I lasted about a month, as long as you stick by 'theres a time and a place' moto you wont become a statistic. The throttle stop is now a keyring and the washers are in the bin. I love the sv and the way it makes power...i just hate it when im with all my mates on il4's and they **** off to 170 (mudafukas).
