Call me stupid if you want, but, can I INSURE this bike?

[johnnynapalms...]

Could I simply INSURE SRAD 600 on A2 license, and actually have it as "Insured and taxed" appear on police ANPR? I know this bike is slightly more powerful than A2 allows, but I assume when I insure it I would need to send my license, would the insurance company know that this bike is not allowed on my license? I mean it does say on wikipedia that the bike is legal (under 94 bhp), but then manufacturer says its 100bhp at the crank. I called up MCE, and they said as long as it's restricted it's fine, but I don't think they know much about this bike.
TL;DR When I send my A2 license to insurer, will they know that I am not allowed on SRAD 600? Or do they not care until an accident?

They will ask for proof of restriction. Which I super easy to forge. Or at least it WAS. (I had a mate write a headed paper invoice from when he used to be a self employed mechanic stating "33bhp restrictor fitted")

I'm not sure but it also might flag up on their system as a bike that doesn't meet the requirements for power-to-weight limit either. (Not sure if it does or not)

I'm not sure an Srad 600 is A2 compatible.

I didn't say I will be doing this, I'm more curious if they actually check if it's too powerful, because when I am looking for quotes it only gives "Full UK", no "A2" or "A" licenses

What's so special about an SRAD 600 compared to any other non A2 legal bike? What not an R6 or R1 even?

Your by default due to your age and the current licensing system forced and expected to buy an A2 compliant bike and insure it as one. Its pretty much tough shit or you wait until age 24 to do an unrestricted licence.

That sounds like the better option anyway, as by asking now if you can get away with breaking the law or as Andy says ride a bike that's not in accordance with your licence, you sound too immature to be on the road, and you cone across as an arrogant know it all cunt that wants to and thinks they can cheat the system?

The 104bhp GSXR 600 SRAD is non compliant, as is every other 90's> sports bike 600. Add to that you've just admitted again on a public forum that an insurer could look at that your not going to run the 47bhp restrictions and you only want the paperwork to say it's restricted.

Lastly you come on here asking about if it's OK to do all of this, knowing the answers and the legalities of it all already, but just looking for BCF's go on son it'll be fine stamp of approval.

I wouldn't even insure you on a 125cc bike personally, and I'm sure many insurer's won't either. And if you do this and it goes wrong then I guarantee no one will be insuring your for at least a year or more depending on the length of your ban.

Good luck with it all anyway, and you might want to think about what you type and admit to in future on the net, if your going off to do your own thing.

Oh, this again.

Denial: But, but Wikipedia says...
Anger: This is bullshit, the rules should be clear, why does it matter anyway?
Bargaining: How about I don't ask and don't tell, maybe I'll get away with it.
Depression: Such first world, very problem.
Acceptance: Might as well get a Fireblade.

It's not legal. You're very unlikely to get caught. If you do get caught then it will be a costly business. That's the situation, now do it or don't do it on that basis.

I bought insured my first bike before I had a license. Spoke to them on the phone, explained the situation, they just told me to contact them when I passed my test, no problem.

Mind you, I bought it a month before I passed my test because it was a bargain, not because I wanted to ride a bike with no license, which is a dick thing to do.

Which is no worse than him stacking an insured, legal Fazer. The rest of us never lose out by people getting clever with their insurance, we can only gain from it. Choosing to ride with voided insurance could be viewed as taking the risk on yourself, although I doubt many folk who do it really see it that way.

OP, have you already bought the bike?

If you're planning on traversing this rocky path, taking to the road illegally, with void insurance- you may as well not restrict it at all.

There was a thread on here not long ago about a kid whose life was made hell when the police decided his 33bhp sv650 wasnt 33bhp, confiscated it, set it on fire, dubiously dyno tested it and were general wankstains about the whole thing despite the rider having proper paperwork and genuine (and possibly ineffective) restrictors.

Don't go there. Get an a2 capable bike and ride out your time.
