125 Restricted Test Or Full Test?

[18_stuart_88]

Ive been riding a manual bike for just over 4 months, but im already wanting to take my L plates off, ( btw i ride a NSR125R at the moment ).

My choices are 125restricted or my full test, im edging toward the full test and selling up to maybe get a 400cc, but seen as how ive only been riding for over 4 months im thinkins its probly better to get the restricted instead!

What would you experienced riders suggest?

[18_stuart_88]

Nah sorry im only 17 just turned it in july! I was riding a Gillera Runner wen i was 16, ( couldnt get rid of it fast enough )

so your on about getting a 400 restricted to 33bhp?
theres 2 tests you can take both on a 125 one allows you to ride a 125 with no Ls carry pillion..pointless.
Other you have to be restricted for first 2 years

Do the restricted test and ride your 125 until you feel that you are ready for the step up. It's safer for you, and you get rid of the L's and can take pillion, and when you think the time is right step up to a 33BHP 400/600 etc.

Thats a no brainer, go for your A license, then sell me your NSR when you buy a 400

The reason im edging toward just goin for the full test is becoz you go through the same procedures for the 125 that you go through for the full. But with all that presure if you pass the 125 then you have to wait 2 years till you can ride anythin.

Money situation will probly nd up making me go for the 125 im thinkin to.

ARGH !! im pretty much arguing with myself here

[froggy128]

just take the test stay with the 125 or move up

[veeeffarr]

You mean you're thinking of taking your Light Motorcycle License (A1)?

If so, I wouldn't bother, the 33BHP restricted license is EXACTLY the same procedure and will enable you to ride bigger bikes, straight away and unrestricted in the future...

Bit of a no brainer that one mate? A1 isn't worth the paper it's printed on

Thats wat i was tryin to explain to myself Toby, Cheers that pretty much made up my mind.

Im gonna book my Theory tomorrow then. Then take it step by step from there on

Thanks a lot!

Whilst on this subject, is £250 a good price for the Restricted test?that's what I'd be paying, including a weeks hire of a yamaha SR 125, 2 lessons, and the actual test.

Any good?
