A2 restricted test bike

[adiec]

Just wondering what minimum hp for 125 A2 test bike would be. Not all 125s appear to be on dot list of approved bikes. Would 11hp be enough?

I don't this theres a minimum HP requirement. The bike has to be a 125 and must be able to do 62.5 MPH (100KPH), I think.

There is no A2 'test' there isn't even an A2 licence catagory.... yet.
That comes in with 3rd directive test laws next year.
You will have to have a 395cc machine, over I think 30Kw or something like that, to test for it, after holding an A1 licence 2 years, so you would have to be 19+ having passed A1 at 17+. Though some suggestion there 'may' be a direct access to A2, though no details, as yet.
What you MEAN is 'Standard-Bike' test to qualify for Full Agroup licence with 2 year 33bhp power restriction. What we have now if you test on a 125, meeting DSA requirements, which I believe merely call for the bike to be capable of 72Kmh or something like that.
Power is irrelevant; you need about 9bhp to go 60, but also the gearing.
DSA approval list is not 'gospal', up to you to assure bike meets requirements if not on list.
