New licence regulations messing up the sale of my bike

[Mario_Kempes]

2005 Hornet's been on sale since the start of Dec. It's immaculate and a good 500€ cheaper than others listed with the same mileage/year etc(the Spanish tend to be stupid with their second hand values).

It's a bad time of year to be selling obviously and I wasn't expecting to be inundated but all the interest I've had has been from people with an A2 license which means they can't ride a Hornet.

The Hornet is basically designed for new riders but today's newly qualified riders can't ride my bike.

Hopefully this won't be too much of an issue...

Honestly it was only when I nearly recommend it to someone on here that I realised it wasn't an A2 bike. You do kinda think of Hornet's as a first big bike.

Is yours the USD fork model? Also how much is it on for (just curious about Spanish prices)?

While you do not bargain or haggle in some places (shops for example), you do so when buying second hand goods in Spain, so expect a "mark up" on prices as they take into account that.

New license seems pointless. Why would anyone bother? I've told my boys to just wait until they are 23 and do the DAS.

Isnt it 24?

I'd still wait.

Seems silly to pay twice.

Also I'd like my kids to gain road knowledge in a car before riding on the road. Controversial on a bike forum I suppose.

A lot of bikes fall foul of the A2 license by not that much I'm going to ride what the fuck I want on my A2 in the unlikely event I am pulled I will just produce a restriction certificate and some numbers.

I will do the tests again for the A license on my own unrestricted A license bike eventually.

£1900 for a later model USD Hornet 600...

Interesting

[Mario_Kempes]

Is that good or bad in UK terms? I've no idea.

I think it's priced to sell for the local market. It's just not the best time of year to be selling. I reckon I'll be rid of it for the summer. Gives me a bit of time to save up.

Exceeds the rules so insurers/5-0 might cotton on a little.

However could buy it, clone plate from a CBF500 and continue on your merry way.

Hi I do sympathize with you as it is you can not do anything about it.
When I turned 70 I had to send my licence for renewal when I got it back the motorbike had been deleted I contacted DVLA who told me sorry but nothing coud be done to re-instate it as the old licence had been destroyed,but I could use the new one as a provisional I pointed out to them that I had been riding motorbikes for 52 years and I currently own a 1940 500cc Matchless and also a 1998 650 Honda, they told me that I could not now ride either bike as my Licence would not cover me, with all the corespondance that went back and fourth it made no difference and I am still without a Licence ,short of byeing a low powered bike and then take the test again I am stumped.
So dont think for a minuet that you will get any help from DVLA. you wont,I am now almost 80 so I wont bother .
