Fastest A2 Bike

[Easy-X]

I would think there would be some fun to be had on a non-restricted A2 bike: lighter due to the smaller engine so better power to weight ratio. Granted you might not get that much over 100mph from it but you will be using all the bike.

Power to weight ratio you say?

The 660cc Street Triple S for A2 noobs will have no more than 94bhp when derestricted but is 2kg heavier than the 765cc Street Triple RS which has 121bhp.

I did not mention actual bhp values in any of my posts only that the A2 bike can be derestricted. I also never said it would be over 94bhp.

I said that I suspect the unrestricted STS may make a similar bhp to a standard 675 ST (but didn't state actual values), i also said maybe not (which implies I was not stating a fact but an opinion). That opinion is probably incorrect as I have no experience of derestricting an STS A2 bike.

I can take being corrected as I make so secret that I am a newbie and bow to superior knowledge. What I don't appreciate is the closing "dick head" statement. Totally uncalled for.

Plus a middle finger from you, fucking friendly here isn't it.

So where do these over 200kg 90bhp restrictable A2 bikes really shine?

Back in the era I did my DAS you had to ride a 33bhp bike for two years if you were under 21. But you could ride a 33bhp Honda Fire blade, or a GSX1300R. They were predictably shit though in that configuration.

So fast forward 22 years or so, what make big cc and 90bhp A2 bikes so fucking amazing now?

Mind you I wasn't fully aware of how limiting the regulations were on power to weight ratio's. 175kg at 47bhp doesn't sound terribly exciting, but it'll still be a decent stable and perfectly usable bike to ride.

I'd rather have even less power to get a silly light weight bike, but then you'd end up back at extremes with a 12bhp 125 I expect?

Stevo as b4, the power to weight ratio is a nightmare for anyone on an a2 licence trying to be legal on an enduro.

Yes, but do real people and those modern millennials actually want to ride enduro bikes?

I thought that they:

a) Don't want to or like the thought of tearing up the precious green countryside and all the awful environmental impact that twatting around on enduro bikes has on precious landscape?

b) Most young A2 bikers are probably doing it because they want to ride bigger road bikes for fun and leisure reasons, and they'd have no concept of power to weight or probably don't understand it. The new shiny CBR500 or equivalent is all they need to know about, and a bit of extra weight to allow ABS to be standard kit, along with electronics and accessories is of far greater importance than an interesting bike.

An example of this might be that they don't know about or care for the gems of the old 400cc sports bike class, where 160kg/ 60bhp sharp bikes were something a bit special. They don't need these bikes or the technology or purity they had.

I haven't worked it out, but regarding A2 and 100kg bikes, it wouldn't surprise me if 15bhp is about all your allowed under the legislation.

TDT, Nearly there. It's 26bhp for 100kilos. Approx 180kg for the max 47bhp. It's the kw/kilo that is throwing everyone. Yes Stevo, countryside destroying motorbikes are worse than coal fired power stations.

[quote="Pigeon"][quote="Izaak147"]Hi guys,
I'm just trying to find out what A2 bike is the fastest once derestricted. Call me childish but I'm all about speed
[/quote]

Probably best to get something fairly cheap to repair after any crashes.[/quote]

I mean thanks for the advice mate but I'm a good rider and I do most of my riding late at night after my night shifts hence the ability to go faster due to an empty dual carriageway, I wouldn't drive fast with other road users about, yes I speed but I'm sensible about it

Izaak, just give it a rest now. After 2 years on A2 you can become full A classified and get anything and stick a turbo on it. So just get an a2 bike for 2 years. Your question is really redundant, nobody derestricts an a2 with a full a licence to go fast. They just get a fucking fireblade. Oh, and dont say your buyjng an a2 restrictable bike to ride desrestriced, coz only idiots say that online!
