test riding bikes on a A2 licence?

[mikesaa309]

Was reading a thread about test riding bike's, wondering if it's still possible to test ride bigger bikes on a A2 licence?

Obviously would be okay with 46 bph bikes but bikes like the SV650 for example which you can ride once you restrict it, are you able to test ride them?

No.

[Rogerborg]

Sure you can.

Not legally though.

Bloody obviously.

Apparently you've had to have your license for more than 2 years to be able to test ride.

If a 1000cc bike is restricted to to 46 horses you can legaly test ride it the day after passing your test.You would need insurance to cover you and a really stupid seller to ...
1. Restrict a 1K bike to 46 bhp.
2. Allow you to get on it.

You might be able to a dealers.if they have the bits to do it .i think the sv comes with a module when new to do this

[clancy]

If the bike is restricted yes, chances if finding one, pretty slim. Short answer is no

Beginning to think you really are retarded

How many times do we have to lay out the answer to the same inane question? Your licence restricts you to riding a bike that does not exceed a stated maximum power output. No exceptions. Which part of this and riding otherwise in accordance are you not grasping?

OP is the reason we should reconsider eugenics.

When I bought my transalp which was unrestricted (I'm on 33bhp), cj ball in norwich whacked an L plate on, mic'd me up and the chap followed me as if I was under training.

Loved the bike and bought it and they fitted the restricter for me

There's only one dealer who's ever offered me a test ride on a motorcycle while on my A2 license (that i've only held for 5months) and that's Street Bike but, only on a bike that I can legally ride on my A2 license.

All the other dealers I asked said I needed to of held my license for at least 2 years before being allowed to test ride a bike of there's.

Obvious legalities aside - Good luck finding a test ride without a full license is all I can offer from my own limited experience.
