A2 License holder in Australia! NEED HELP!

Hi guys,

So I arrived in Sydney last week on a Working Holiday Visa. I intend to stay in NSW for the duration of my Visa so I do not need to exchange my license to the Australian one.

However, I hold a full A2 License for the last 2 years (I'm 23) and after a lot of research, I'm still unable to find out what I can ride in NSW.

Can I ride whatever the EU license allows me to ride?
Or do I need to stick to some AUS rules? It seems very difficult as there is no equivalent of A2 here.

I want to get KLE500 as in EU, I will be allowed to ride on it without a restrictor so it seems like a legal bike for me over in Australia also.

Anyone with knowledge in this area/topic?

It looks as though you can ride what you're licensed for. But it does change from territory to territory

You could always ring the Aussie consulate as a starting point

Go to the nearest RTA office and ask them?

I'm here right now, sydney, and have been for the last 4 years.

Guess what? You can ride whatever the hell you like. Aus cops are cunts, but they're stupid cunts, and won't know what an A2 is anyway. 2 years of holding it implies your restriction period is up? You're in the same boat as me, mine still says <25kw on the back and it's been checked a lot.

If you're on a KLE500, isn't that LAMS anyway, so learner legal?

At the very worst, do the 2 day MOST course and you can ride most things below 660cc with the equivalent of a CBT.

Don't do this though, international licences are precious things. Points immunity, just pay the fine.

is your restriction period over?

If you NEED to do it, the course is only like $80 including bike hire. I know a few people who've done it.

They use a license in USA
They use a Licence in UK

I hope this helps.
