Just a quick question, Ive got a restricted lisence, and a friend is selling his road registered KXF 250. Now as it was originally a crosser whats the chances of being able to restrict it?
Thanks

Does a kxf 250 even make 33bhp?

Well I would think so as its designed for racing originally, but trying to find out what the bhp is, proves somewhat difficult! Laughing

I find 43bhp.

I reckon you will get away with it. Just leave it as it is. Highly unlikely you will get done for it.

Where did you find that?

Except there is a power to weight ratio element to the law too, so the KX will be too light even at 33bhp. Its shaky ground anyway.

Remember kids, bikes aren't like lego. You can't easily take a part from one bike and then fit it to another.

Yea it will be too light. My Husaberg FS450 needs 26bhp to be legal (121kg wet) but currently has 48.1bhp and I'm 'restricted'.
