Posted: 18:32 - 03 Aug 2022 Post subject: How can this be right? Learner legal import? |
|
|
I have been looking at bikes for a bit of fun and this came up fairly local to me.
My question is, how can it be legal to be used as a learner bike if it is an import?
Surely at that age it would be a full power bike.
I am not too clued up on stuff like this, hence the question.
Many thanks.

Fair enough, well I didn't do anything to derestrict mine, presumably it had been done by a previous owner. My NSR was a german import, and restricted in the electronics, but it only lopped 5mph off the top speed (and it didn't have the UK restriction in the exhaust etc.) so I just left it alone. ____________________ Current - '94 VFR750FR, '00 VFR800FI Previous - '10 Street Triple R, '92 MZ ETZ301, '05 TTR250, NSR125R, KMX125, "Honda" Win (chinese copy of an old Honda design with a C90 engine)

I doubt if many cops or insurance companies would have a scooby whether that was UK learner legal or not.
And I certainly can't see either bothering to put it on a dyno.
In fact, the only thing that would put me off that is the utterly ridiculous price for a 26 year old 125. ____________________ Suzuki Bandit 1250

Teenagers have been tuning 50s and 125s ever since they were restricted, and long may it continue - I seem to remember that cutting the pedals off mopeds was against some law or other back in the 1970s.
A friend at college (so many, many years ago) turned up on a Vespa, being 16 it was a moped yet somehow a 200cc engine had found its way in. Another had a TS50er that became strangely quiet one day, turns out that had inexplicably grown to 73cc. And both were faster than my stock KH100ex... |
