They may ask you for a restriction certificate but thats pretty rare afaik.

All you need to do is get it restricted, doesnt make insurance cheaper, it just has to be. (Untill they fall out )

morning,

his insurance will be the same restricted as it would be for a full power bike.

some insurance companys ask to see proof of restriction and some dont.

choice qoute for instance didnt ask to see my restriction certificate.

regards the police finding out about it not being restricted i have heard of a couple of bikes being stripped down and checked for restriction in the event of a crash.

although there are hundreds of people riding around blissfully ignorant of the a2 restriction law and have not been caught.

Indeed it would be the elast of his worries, but it is to illustrate my point that a 33bhp bike will not have the same kind of speeds as a full power 600cc, its all very well getting caught speeding, but you don't want added to that an investigation into if your bike is 33bhp to find it's not.

we all know how theyl ike to make an example of bikers and throw the book at us.

Had a chat with a couple of cops that came in to a dealership a few weeks ago, one of them was putting down a deposit on a K6 GSXR 600 whilst on duty

Anyway, they said they cant really do anything about 33bhp without carrying around a dyno with them in there car..

They were trying to guess which one of our bikes where restricted. They didnt belive mine was

He also said next time he stops me hell give me his old light cover

(There was about 4 of us and we had all seem them police for one reason or another )

This thread got me thinking, so I have just googled and finally found out what the penalty for riding an unrestricted bike during your restricted period is.

No Jail.
Fine of max £1000.
Ban discretionary.
Points 3-6.

Interesting........

hes not in to speeding the most hes done is 75mph he wont go over 80 at all

[CoronaBoner]

I don't see why people worry about them.

Just rip them out and live alittle jeez, I can't see how they can justify the washers costing £200 for a start. And then they make the bike run like cack.

Lifes too short for all these bullcrap restrictions.

So me with 4 years road experience and different bikes does not qualify me to have a bike over 33bhp as I done my test when I was 19.
But if your 21 and do your test with no experience, you can jump straight onto a full powered BUSA without a hitch! crazzzy

Meh to this law.

if you wanted to be extra causiuos you could do what i did, get it restricted and then that night they fell out in my garage. This means i have a certificate so willhopefully be enough without the police striping it down if i gte caught, anyway only 11 months before its legal now and havnt had any probs so far, btw carol nash didnt ask for any proof whatsoever.

My GSX750F is restricted, acceleration is wicked (well faster than my previous) and the top speed is limited to about 90ish.
restriction runs out Oct 07 (blast and dam).
I believe that a copy of the restriction goes to DVLA, and the installers keep a copy as well as the suppliers of the restriction kit.

Better be safe than sorry I suppose

[CoronaBoner]

Fair point simple..

Think you said your's pushes out 50odd bhp max so I can see why you have left them in as you are happy as it is, plus you save on the consumables etc.
I agree that its not about top speed and all that but you can't enjoy a modern day sportbike pushing out well over the 100bhp mark with a restrictor kit in, they are just not made for it.
Damn, just thinking how much I could have saved on petrol/pads and chains if they were in....... meh the fun beats all that

I can't insure a sports bike,

besides its so much more rewarding running rings around people who cant ride their latest race rep all that well, it was great on a 125 with L plates, it's even better when they come and casually say:

them -'' that thing goes alright doesn't it?''

moi -''yeah - s'pose it does for a 33bhp twin''

I'll wait until my 33bhp is up (9months ) befor eI treat myself to something I haven't decided upon yet zx6r/r6/ honda 400 of sorts/sv650 mayb/DR400

Just bought a Yamaha fazer 600 which is being delivered this weekend hopefully.

I'm only 18, so if the bike is restricted that's fine with me, however if it isn't then i'm not paying out even more cash to cut the balls of the bike.

It's a risk i guess i'll take like many other young riders but if the goverment wants to restrict the bike then it can pay out for it as i certainly wont be doing so.

[Misc]

I got my R6 last week & i'm 19, i have no intention of getting it restricted. Like above, it's a risk i'll take.

eh?
