I agree with it but not for two years, im 19 and have had the restrictor fitted 1 and a half years now and i dont believe in an extra half year of being restricted it would make any difference to my riding ability. I improved and became a more sensible rider after my accident than i recon i will in the 5 months i have lest on a restricted licence.

Plus the source is biased as trying to keep you below the speed limit. Compare that to the hundreds of people killed in car accidents, including innocent bystanders regularly in well documented (not overhyped bollox) circumstances. I say with complete confidence that the overwhelming majority of crashes occurring due to inexperienced riders and high power do not involve collateral damage.

your top end speed is only down by about 20mph and despite having the extra power now the difference above 70 is noticeable, but it's not huge. the sv engine is all about what goes on below 70.

I agree with it, only because I know that I am a bit of an adrenaline junkie and I am glad I had the two years restriction (which is up in 1 month and week btw).
I was 21 when I took my test. I think its one of these laws where you're damned if you do, damned if you don't. Just because a rider is under 21 doesn't mean they are going to be stupid on a full powered big bike and just cos a rider is 46 when he passes his test doesn't mean he's gonna be a total twonk on a gixxer thou and smash it within a week of his test. Unfortunately with these kinda things we can't have an individual "is this guy an idiot" bike test and it has to be regulated as best they can.. |
