would anyone be kind enough to produce a list of bike that are to their knowledge already <33bhp (hav'nt got the equal or less than sign lol)

i know honda bros 400 is, but anymore?

[Marc_Buck]

just out of interest how fast does a rs250 go wen restricted to 33bhp if it even needs restricting?

as well as a vfr400?

[Ste]

The bikes which will go best when restricted to 33bhp are those which are very close to 33bhp to start with. The CBR250 went fine at 33bhp, and the Honda Bros400 is 33bhp in its standard form.

Any 33bhp bike you're looking at a top speed of about 100mph ish.

[Kickstart]

[Marc_Buck]

so i'll be riding a bike capable of not much more than a 125 but i'll never come to racing a 125 as no-one on a 125 will be willing to race a thundering 400 (well thundering compared to the 125)

[WildGoose]

cbr250 went better at 45

Admitedly stolen from a ropehead post many years ago.

[Marc_Buck]

i think i will try to find a reasonably priced rs250, failing that i am liking the bros

[Frost]

[iCraig]

[Marc_Buck]

really? that high?

and a bandit funnily enough is my ultimate target for a bike, well within reason obviously

[iCraig]

[Robby]

An rs250 would take the restriction very badly, if at all. You'd just be oiling the plugs because it would be able to rev high enough to keep clean.

Bandit 600 is supposed to take the restriction quite well.

[Marc_Buck]

another stupid question: how do i find myself an insurance quote for a bandit?

[clemsta]

The RS250 is quite bad on insurance, i am in the same boat as you, i am doing my 33BHP test soon, i did a quick quote from bennets last night for these bikes, results were as follows:-

1990 ZXR400 £395 TPFT
1992 VFR400 NC30 £405 TPFT
1992 CBR400RR £405 TPFT
1998 RS250 £575 TPFT

All based on 20 year old male with 1 year NCB

Think i'll probably go for the ZXR or the VFR.

a 33 b.h.p restricted 4 stroke still has more low down power than a de-restriced stock rs125 for example which makes about 28 b.h.p

i have had to restrict my 400 for a few months and i used to own an rs125 and it has more torque!!! in the lower/middle range
