R6 at 17?

[DowsoNN]

I'm 16 right now, ride an Aprilia RS50! Always been big into my bikes, used to ride my dads CBR900 fireblade when I was 15, but when I turn 17 I want to do my test (if I can afford it) but I don't want a 125 so my only other option is to get a bike R6, GSXR, ninja etc and restrict it to 33bhp but what are your thoughts on this? Is it necessary? Will I really get stopped by the police and get my bike crushed?

Licence laws have changed. You can't have an R6 at 17. It has too much horsepower before restriction.

Your bike will get stopped by police and you really will be crushed.

why to 33hp? the law has changed, so you can't ever ride an r6 restricted because its something like 45hp restricted now to from bike that can do no more than 90hp originally or something around that.

So you're out of potluck i'm afraid.

The 33hp restriction has been and gone.

I never did understand the new laws! So what are my options? Have to ride a 125 for 2 years?

[DowsoNN]

Does everyone else think these laws are stupid? Just to get off L plates at 17 it will cost me a total of £500 them I got to find a bike!!

Anything implemented by the EU is ridiculous and there will be repercussions, biking is just a small fish in the sea, there is bigger industries they are meddling with and they will be delt with, its just a matter of time.

All these laws an EU thing?

i wouldn't even bother lol

what fun is there in riding a bike at the speed limit, and do like 5mph over and you get penalized.

And yes it is the EU, everything is in an exact figure for the continent, hence why we get stuck with random hp numbers like 33 for example.

inb4 saying stick it to the man, too late, hence why i take my shit on to private land.

I enjoy my bikes though, probably end up with an RS125 that will break twice a month

[Alpha-9]

Just get some heap of shit 125 until you can pass your tests, there's no point wasting your money on a nice one just to upgrade as you will likely lose money

They all have shit performance anyway really

I'd say get an NSR125 as well, they're probably the most reliable 2 stroke sports bike u can buy, as long as it's been well looked after by the previous owner.

But running an NSR isn't cheap, the price of re-filling 2stroke oil and petrol every week is a bastard.

You've missed the 33bhp window my friend. Blame your parents for not having sex earlier.

Even if you did have the chance to get the 33bhp licence.. Good luck to insuring any one of those bikes.

Just stay away from restricting sports bikes..........................

I'll have to agree with the NSR 125 comments. If you're going to be stuck on a 125 for a while, make it an NSR.

They're nippy enough for a good laugh.
