cg125 enough for a2 mod2

[itsallgood]

I was wanting to do my mod2 on my own bike as it saves me the £50 my instructor charges to hire his bike for the test.

Besides which its the bike I ride everyday so im comfortable with it.

Only problem is my bike barely does 60mph, and its hard work getting to that point....

Its on the dsa approved list (cg125) so it should be ok for A2?

What happens if I only manage say 55 on any nsl parts of the test?

Cheers.....see its on the dsa approved list of bikes so if I turn up on it theyll let me do the test.....but if we hit a NSL and theres a headwind then no way will I be hitting 60...

They say exceed 62.5 but as a learner I guess I wont be anywhere with a speed limit over 70!

Guess its just the euro aspect.

All I can say (and hope-for my test is tomorrow- also on a CG) is that, the examiner will take into consideration winds and the fact that the bike is only 125cc.


Fact is- just try as hard as you can to do that speed limit(if safe) by using the lowest gear possible and stretch the gears but if an increase of speed does not happen then that's all you can do. if it is clear- but obviously if it is in a country lane- Who the bloody hell does 60 around country lanes in reality?

Good luck to both itsallgood and blurredman, I remember you were taken your test before mine, and scared the shit out of me when you failed

It's fine, I don't think they really give a monkeys as long as you've booked an A2 and you crack on when it's safe to do so. I came along clutching the DSA list showing my debranded Chinese copybike bike as A2, but didn't even get asked what it was.
