Hi all,

I am new to the bike scene, i have just turned 20 and no I havent done 2 years with any license before so i cant get my A license when i turn 21 next year, I am looking to get a Triumph Daytona 675 07 plate and restrict it so that it will fall under the required spec for an A2 license,

What are your thoughts on this bike? or have you got any other bikes you reckon that would be better suited to this cause?

Cheers

Not A2 eligible no matter what way you look at it. Do your research and come back if you're serious.

Nice looking bike though.

You can't ride it restricted, to restrict bikes now they must make under a certain amount of horsepower before they are restricted. I don't know what the number is but a 675 definitely has more. Google 'list of A2 bikes' or similar to find what you can actually ride.

Yep, no chance.

Need to get older faster to be on the lovely sports bikes I'm afraid.

Ahhh, it was my understanding that you restrict the amount of fuel going into the engine, therefore bringing down the KW output to legal levels, am I wrong on this?

I did what you said and googled what bikes I could ride on an A2 license, a Ducati Monster 796 came up saying it needed 46% restriction to bring it down to 35kw, if that is the case, should I be able to almost restrict all bikes as long as they dont need a 100% or more restriction?

Must make less than about 94hp.

Would say SV or similar.

I actually only like a certain look on a bike, unfortunately them bikes are normally always way way to fast for me Laughing

But I like the Monster so I will probably go for that after I have done all the tests I need to do

I've not seen one in the wild and mapping it to their lower bhp didn't do much apart from make the bike run like arse.

I'd expect it to be a slightly different bike.

I would go for a Monser 696 if I were you. Slightly lower seat height means it'll probably be more new rider friendly, and it's cheaper than the 796. Restricted, there isn't going to be much between them anyway.

Otherwise get a naked SV650. Was my first bike and great fun to ride. Easy to handle, reliable and sounds great with a good pipe on it.
