Anyone seen the new Bike test plans in MCN?
 
Total bollox
Its clear why they are making it so hard to obtain a full bike licenceAngry
 
Keeping someone restricted to 47bhp for 2 years after being stuck on a 125 for years proves nothing
in terms of saftey?
 
Plenty of people have made the jump from small to large bike without any issues
depends on the individual TBH
 
Your more likley to smash yourself up on a RGV 250 riding flat out at 19 years of age
as you are on an RSV4
 
Another polite attempt of EU bullsh*t "we cant stop people but we can make it such a pain in the ass
people will buy a car" Angry

I feel sorry for enthusiastic youngsters that have a real passion for bikes
Its only gonna get worse
 
I CANT WAIT TO BE WEARING A DAY GLOW FLURO YELLOW BIB OVER MY LEATHERS
WHILE BEING RESTRICTED TO 0.0.-1/2 BHP

Could you take you test in another EU state and then get it exchanged for a UK licence like allot of other "visitors" have done?

I put my oldest son through the bike test for his 21st birthday (direct access course) 2 years ago, but with these changes on the horizon I'm putting the other 3 through this year as their Christmas presents!  The 2nd one (also now 21) passed 2 weeks ago and is happily driving my wife's bike around now, 3rd one takes it next week (only 20 so will have a 33BHP limit for 2 years) and the youngest will do his in 3 weeks after his 17th birthday.  Costing me a packet, but they'll all be done before it gets more difficult/expensive.  Angry

Wont your 20 year old automatically get the 33bhp limit lifted as he turns 21?

Ah, you see now you're trying to apply logic to things, and we're talking about legislation.  As far as I'm aware (would love to be told I'm wrong) he has to wait 2 years from when he passes, even if he passes 1 month before he is 21.  It's a right load of cobblers really.
