Hence working it out in specific terms (70W/kg v. 83W/kg). It's still a large difference. Power-to-weight ratio.


So you did, apologies I didn't notice.

That depends if the tests are still a bowl of bollocks

I actually passed under the then new 'Persuit test', with examiner following me on another bike, telling me what to do by radio.

it was a lot more comprehensive than the half dozen or so high-way-code questions the examiner used to ask you on the actual test... but they seem to have inflated it in recent years, with a shed load of enviro-mental indoctrination,


Today we have CBT which is good enough and it's claimed that plenty of other euro countries give a motorbike licence gratis after a number of years. In addition to the extra theory questions you've pointed out they also have the changing "hazard" video clip "test" which had a lot of criticism. There are separate theory tests for a car and bike which could have been combined and there is little accountability if they were to arbitrarily fail people.

It an extra cost from the state which isn't needed for the purpose of getting used to a bike in order to take a test.
A person that's passed their test on a chugging road bike is going to need time to get used to a new sports bike but they aren't paying extra for it.
