Quick Question: DAS & Restricted

[Alpha-9]

If you did Mod 1 & 2 and got the license that was restricted 33bhp, could you say after a year, then do DAS to get unrestricted, or do you have to stay restricted and wait for the whole 2 years as that's your license?

I'm assuming you could, but wasn't sure...

'Cuz like, i'd probably do restricted test because DAS is pricey as fuck but if I got bored after a year, I might be like fuck this, moar powar

Do you 33bhp riders feel like you need more power or is it nice?
I imagine it's a nice transition from a 125

gonna do my tests this year fo sho'

You can do the accelerated access test provided you're over 21

Yeh it's two years or over 21's.

I had a restricted ZXR400 for a while, it's a good progression starting on something like that then when you get used to the speed unleash the power. It does feel a bit gutless, but the restriction is there for a reason, any youngster who goes straight to a thou is bound to have a bad off.

The only bikes I've crashed are <33bhp, if I had the same accidents on something bigger and without the experience of having ridden smaller bikes for a few years I'd probably be dead.

The wait to pass your DAS is certainley worthwhile

you still need theory to be in date to do the accelerated access

You don't need to do a course for DAS either. You could simply hire a bike, get an hour or so conversion lesson on it and then use it to sit the tests.

Everyone seems to presume DAS can only be a course.

As far as 33BHP is concerned. It's plenty. I reach 80-90mph effortlessly and it'll keep climbing to 100 or 110. You really don't need much more.

Also you can do the restricted test and then sit DAS whenever you like afterwards. More expensive though considering that 33bhp really isn't that bad.

Passed my accelerated access last week. Its quite rare I think, examiner screwed up the riding report codes so much he had to start again. I went through a riding school and borrowed a CBF500. Although you can just go for the test, I had a few lessons to get the hang of slow speed stuff again - compared to my 250 the wheelbase was different and I kept having to put my foot down because it wasn't turning as quick as I was used to.

I passed when I was 20 but started earning enough to want something a little bigger/better. Think it cost me £250 for about 6 hours lessons and MOD1&2 - worth it imo because they pointed out little things I probably would have failed on.

Just waiting for my renewal now
