hi all,

took my practical yesterday and PASSED Very Happy alltough i put my foot down when doing the u turn Embarassed but i find nsr's hard to do very tight turns in.

The good thing is that the radio run out of battery about 10 minutes into the test so he pulled me over and said just follow me and ill watch you in my mirrors. can't get much easier than that so i didn't complain probably would have failed if it wasn't for the battery.

Now that i've passed my test i feel like customizing my bike. i have a standard De-restricted NSR R1 that top ends at about 90 (100 at a huge push) can any one suggest what to do about my exust? whats the best thing to get, bearing in mind that ill probably stick to this bike until the 2 year restricton is up.

Thanks inadvance

Daniel

Best customisation for NSR? Sell it to someone else Smile Seriously, your money isnt well spent really on an NSR "performance" parts etc

hi all,

thanks for your replys.

In regards to selling my bike i dont really want to go down that road as ive only just bought it and had to get a £3000 loan from the bank Sad

I may decide to sell it once ive completed a full year on my insurance.

Later on, is it worth me getting a 400 and restricting it or just stick with the NSR for another year? or save my money and get a 600 after the 2 year restriction?

Thanks again

Daniel

I've kept the NSR for just a year now, and i really cant afford another bike, so i'll just keepthe NSR running.

Theres alot of performace parts avalible for the NSR. But i find you might aswell keep it standard. The most cost effiecent way to get more Bhp for your money. Is to buy another bigger bike.

Although i am slowly returning mine to its orginal state using used parts (not paying evil honda prices)

So what is the legal BHP limit for someone that just passed the A2 standard test??

What bike do you suggest?

Thanks

Dan

danielw2599 - The legal limit, after you've passed your test, is 33 BHP. So if you bought a bigger bike you would need to have it restricted from a dealer. So look at it like this:

Ninja (full powered) 100 BHP

Ninja (restricted) 33 BHp

Something to think about if you want a bigger bike Exclamation

Hope this helps

Cheers,

Will

Hi

Think the limit is actually 24kW, which is around 33hp.

All the best

when you do your practical test/emergency stop,...are you allowed to use your back brake during this procedure?. read that you can't. Rolling Eyes thanks.

I was taught to use my back brake when doing an emergency stop, surely this is right because it stops you faster.

You can be failed for NOT using the back brake (or at least making it look like your using it).
