Hey guys i first done my cbt couple days after my 18th and currently hold an A1 license, I'm looking at buying the Kawasaki J300 or a similar bike, but obviously I'll need my A2 license for this, I do not feel comfortable at all with gear, i fell off my honda cbr after 2 days and scraped some skin off my elbow and ruined my new jumper haha
since then i wear protection but its put me off and to be fair it wasnt very comfortable like the scooters I like for daily commutes to work

tl;dr - Can I do my A2 practical test on a automatic (twist and go) and be restricted only to them?Smile

You've already got your a1 which means you've done it once already. Why would the second time be any different?

TL;DR - MTFU and do A2 proper then buy what you like

Yes. If you can find a training school with one, or get your own A2 scooter insured and to the test centre legally.

But as above: why on earth would you?

You made a silly noob mistake.

Most of us do.

Some of us get right back on and learn from the mistakes.

Some of us consult someone experienced for advice/training/cuddles, and perhaps scarcity tokens change hands.

Some choose not to learn.

Gears on a motorbike or protective gear? Thinking

Should of been looking for that CE Approved sticker, must be a nock off Rolling Eyes

not all bikes are the same, if you didn't like the cbr then try something different, ideally sitting on them etc. before you purchase always helps to niggle out the small issues.

There's a lot more option for non-automatic bikes than vise versa.

Man up and do the test on geared twin engine bike, twin engines have good torque and for all test purposes ride like automatic.

Find a training school with Suzuki SV650 or SFV650 (Gladius) and everything will be fine.
