Not being funny, but you won't get very far if you double post your answers. It's damn annoying. Please stop doing it before Kev comes and kicks you

I think this should be posted in the New Biker section and there is a FAQ in the FAQ section explaining all of these little queries. I think its called "License Stuff" or something.

But in answer to your question. You can ride any bike at 17 as long as it is restricted to 33bhp, and you can ride a 125 on a CBT at 17 as long as it is restricted to 14bhp. Riding a derestricted 125 is illegal.

Just the same as peds when your 16. They say you've got to have them restricted but no one listens.

[Scouse]

Very true but would the police go to all the effort to find out if the bike is derestricted? My NSR was bored out and even though I got pulled quite a few times they never even mentioned restrictions or anything like that. I was told though that to check they would have to take the bike away and strip it, and that they wouldn't bother doing this because there would be too much paperwork. I wouldn't say anyone I've ever known with a 125 on a provisional has been restricted apart from shaun, let alone get done for it.

[bikedudextrm]

Some 14bhp bikes still manage to do in excess of 80mph so as long as you don't get caught much over that your OK. A full power 125cc is just more quicker on the acceleration and a a bit on top speed.

Eh, well actually, 4 bolts to take the exhaust off would quickly reveal a derestricted NSR.

Ok, there are intake restricters, but if the exhaust has been done then chances are the intake has (since the exhaust is a c@#% to drill out!)

If you ride into someone who is crossing the road and that person was/is in a critical state, or even dies as a result of injuries, your bike will be examined incredibly throughly.

If you are riding a bike that is too powerful for the licence you own, you will be in major sh1t! You can kiss goodbye to your driving licence for a long time!

As Mark says, if you are pulled over by a particularly snotty police officer who feels like doing you for the maximum he can, I suspect you will be done for riding without a licence or insurance. This obviously carrys a heavy fine and a lot of points!

But most 125's dont have [Restricted] printed on the V5 docs

What difference does restricted being printed on teh V5 make?

None at all. The point is the law says it shoud be restricted, and so it should be.
