hmmmm... which test to take?

[defblade]

I can't decide - I keep going one way then the other.....

DAS:
pros: all the power straight away
cons: cost, training time (no holidays left!), getting test booked to go with training (mod 2s not available on proper booking until April).


125:
pros: happy on my bike, can book a short-notice/cancellation test as it'd fit into work, general lack of hassle.
cons: 33bhp for 2 years.....


I mostly want the power to get past 40-50mph mob on twisties (which the 125 won't do without a mile clear ahead) on my commute, so I have been told 33bhp is enough and that all it'll do it limit my top end (which being mature and sensible (ish) I'm not too worried about).

Can you do your big bike test if you've already passed the standard/125? Then I could always upgrade if I'm bored in a year's time

Yes you can 'upgrade'. But costa lotta more doesn't it.

I'm A2 on a 27bhp 250cc. Plenty for my current ability. But like i've said before if i could've afforded DAS i would of done.

DAS everytime, money saved is negated when you have to fit restrictors to a bike.

why restrict yourself to 33bhp for 2 years when you dont have to pain in the ass if you ask me

do the das mate, it makes a lot more sense

do whatevers cheapest.
ive never heard of anyone being done for having no restriction.

ive even admitted to a policeman that my bike wasnt restricted (near enough)

Go DAS. You can then ride any bike you like, and move on in your own time without getting penalised.

You do the test on the 500cc, then you could go out and get a 250/400 if you like. There are no hard and fast rules about what you should get, the choice, is yours.

why does the das cost more i just cannot see why when the test is the same its just you take it on a bigger bike?

its not like you need any more training/ teaching?


and if you going to do it go for the das
