A2 licence limits demand no more than 45bhp, and not restricted by more than 50%, ie a bike that brochure specs dont suggest makes over 90bhp.
This narrows things down a bit, and basically all the sports 600's since the Kawasaki ZX6R of around 1997 are off the menue, only a couple of sports 600's are even on it, and almost nothing ion the over 600cc classes since around 1982 is likely to get on it....
This then begs the next question... WHAT'S 'FAST'?
Fast in a straight line? Fast from 0 to the 1/4 mile? Fast round a race track? Fast around a dirt oval? Fast accroass a ploughed field? What?
On the road, the fasest bike will almost always be the one with the daftest rider.. or the most skilled... but usually the most stoopid.
Coming back from a show, I have stayed with a chap on a Fazer 6, on the missus's Honda CB125.. for around 12miles, he would get ahead at every straight, I'd reel him in on every section of bends, then it was who was prepared to loose thier licence come the villages and 30 signs and GATSO's... it was kneck and kneck for them 12 miles, and ultimately the decider was who was prepared to take the smaller gap onto the main road at the T-Junction at the end.....
THE BIKE has little to do with it in the real world, where there are no class regs, scruitineers, marshals or FIM approved timing gear.... so the question is just a little fatiouse, and you ARE the stoopid sandwhich. It makes little to no odds.
Meanwhile, for a couple of years,whilst on restriction, you are lugging around extra metal and not got the oomph to put it to use... all for the idea you 'may' save something not having to buy another bike when restriction lapses.. if you dont in the intervening cos you crash it or iot gets nicked, of course, and it DOES stay 'restricted'.. which begs suggestion that if you dgas about the restriction and are preparfed to break the licence laws anyway, why be hung for a sheep as a lamb? In fact why bother even taking tests?!!? Just get a fake plate and ride off the books, at least they cant add 'insurance fraud' and a few more deception charges to the rap sheet!
Anyway, its all back to what kind of 'fast' you are after, and how seperate you are to pull one over the or-forit-eez.... and whether you would actually save anything by de-restricting anyway.
Ball's back in your court...
But do you have a full licence for anything yet? ____________________ My Webby'Tef's-tQ, loads of stuff about my bikes, my Land-Rovers, and the stuff I do with them!
