alright, this is my first post.... i turn 16 in october and have just ordered my new aprilla sr50 factory... im looking forward to it but one thing that i hate about mopeds is the noise... and when i was looking into buying my ped i saw a keeway f-act which has a "silencer" on it.... would it be possible to have one fitted to the aprilla or has it already got one..... also de restricting is it worth doing?

If you derestrict you will not be licensed to ride the bike.

really? so why do so many people do it? and why do some garages just do it straight up without saying i cant do it cus you will be breaking the law?

All bikes have silencers.
A completely stock SR wont too sound loud, its just people that have changed their exhausts and put open air filters on that sound really loud.

IMO 30mph restriction is far more dangerous than riding around 50mph, but as said above, you are only licenced for 30mph.
At the end of the day, its your choice whether you do or dont, i never had any trouble with my 50, still doesn't make it legal though.

lots of people do it because on 40 limit roads you either hold up all the traffic or have people doing ridiculous overtakes to get around you, which isnt much fun.

however the police are apparently cracking down on it. my mate got his ped confiscated, got 3 points and 60 quid fine, plus had to pay 150 for storage or something :S

I have a GPR50 and thats de-restricted, the insurance asked me 'Have you made any modifications to the bike since its been yours?' Which it hadn't so i said no, ive got away with it, police came up the side of me and my mate and said, lads, thats a 40mph road, not a 60mph one, keep the speed down? They obviously knew our bikes were de-rezzed...they didnt say anything.

Also, someone i know went for there CBT on a brand new RS50 and he said, is it okay if we de-restrict the exhaust? 32mph is too slow and we see it as dangerous to other road users.

Afterall, its upto you what you do, maybe do a few miles before you de-rezz it so you can get the hang of the bike?

Leave it standard and it wont sound like a hair drier. Stock 2 stroke scooters are reasonably quiet. If you get it de-restricted, As long as you don't go past a cop car in a 30 limit doing 45mph (TOP SPEED) Wink

then you wont get arse raped.

I got pulled over on my XL125 with L plates on and showed my Full CAR license (This is before I had a bike license, Just had CBT) and he said "You have a full license, So why the L plates".

Most coppers dont know the first thing about cars/bikes apart from the obvious Head light/tail light out, Bald tyres etc.

Granted, you get the odd cop who knows everything there is to know, But as long as your sensible, It will be fine to de-restrict it. my 50cc was capable of over 70mph when I was 16 years old, I never got pulled once. Thumbs Up

both peds when i did my cbt were derestricted. and we had a DSA examiner there marking the guy who was doing the cbt. so it cant really be that serious if a dsa examiner doesnt give 2 shits

All these anecdotal training schools who encourage illegal deresriction want shutting down. Bunch of dicks, bet they pass CBT-ers who cause accidents too.

They have a DUTY to instill good riding practice and stay within the law. Name & shame them if these tales are true.
