I have looked for an answer all over the internet but cannot get a definite answer to this question.
If 2 years after taking the test pass before I am 21 can I ride an unrestricted bike or do I have to wait until I am 21.
Cheers, Anthony

Yeah, after your two year restriction period you can legally ride any power bike.

For example if you pass your test on your 17th birthday, you can take the restrictors on your 19th birthday.

Cheers, you sound sure so I will trust you. It wasn't too long ago that I passed, it was in september or october 2005. I am thinking of getting a VFR400 for this summer and get it restricted, I will be 20 when I can ride unrestricted.
Another question, rather than starting another thread, is there a hard and fast rule of what qualifies for classic insurance (is it based on the year of manufacture) because my mate has an NC24 (cannot remember the year) and he pays next to nothing for insurance because it is a 'classic'.

First off Davo is correct - the restriction is for two years. I passed my test just before my 20th so I will be 21 for sometime before I can ride unrestricted*.

I think classic insurance is either 15 or 20 years?

Classic is 20 years as far as I know.

I think it's more down to the individual insurance broker. One insurance broker wouldn't accept my dad's 1976 Triumph Trident as a classic, where the majority did.

Probably because they knew you would drop it Silence Wink

You still drop 'em Wink

Haha well the majority of the 'big well known' insurers will accept it as classic from 20 years.

I didn't know it meant money off Thinking

My mates 1989 Honda Hurricane is considered a classic.

Old Thread Alert!
