Couple of questions

OK, bearing in mind I know jack shit about anything to do with peds.

Is it illegal to own a 172, 180, 183 etc at 17? If so do police check a lot (depends where you live, I know but any input will be appreciated) and if your caught whats the punishment?

Realistically how fast are standard 125 Runners?

Please don't laugh. arc:

Thanks in advance.

 

aslong as its under 33bhp you dont need a full bike licence

 

no is under 14bhp i think on a cbt.

 

really??? :msn1:
i fort it was 16 = max 49cc
17=max 124cc on cbt or on full license anything with 33bhp or less
25=any cc or horsepower

 

i think a 49 at 16
at 17 nothing more than a 125 and cant have more power than 14bhp.

 

incorect my young aprentice :tdwn:


read the back of your provisional to find out what power u can drive at what age.....

it is legal if they are registered as that cc and your insurance company know

police rarely check and if they do and they find out your bike will be square and able to fit in your pocket withing days

a standard runner im assuming would hit around 70 mabye


EDIT: the provisional counterpart.. not the card :rtfm:

 

Cheers for the swift replies, greatly appreciated.

 

under 125cc and under 14.6bhp

you can have one legally at 17 if you pass your full bike test

 

runner 125 2 stroke 65-70 real speed

 

runner 125 4 stroke 20-25 real speed

 

and boring

 

at 16 with cbt you can ride any bike upto 49cc and 3.14? bhp (between 3 and 4 anyway) restricted to 33mph but cannot take pillions and need L plates, if you pass your full 50cc moped test you can take pillions and have no L's

at 17 provided you have cbt you can ride any vehicle geared or manual with a cc of no more than 125cc and 14bhp

pass your 125 test and you can ride anything 125cc and under 14bhp without L plates and take pillions (applies for auto and manual)

you can pass your test on a 125 bike and have a 33bhp restricted license, you can ride anything upto 33bhp (yes you can ride a hyabusa, r1, even a busa engined trike...) restricted to 33bhp (applies for auto and manual)

at 21 you can do direct access, pass your test on a 500cc bike and you can then go out, buy an R1 and go kill yourself with full power that same day

im sure this is right but if anyone wants to correct any of it feel free to do so...

sorry you had to wait for me last night :emb: i know my bikes slow

 

Let me get this straight, from what your saying when i turn 17 I'm restricted to a 125, 14bhp provided I've done my CBT - which I have, but If i want to take pillions and ride without L plates I have to do a 125 test?

 

or an a2 test that restricts you to 33bhp for 2 years

 

im 19 and was pulled on my 250cc and the copper said you got a cbt? i said yeah he said thats ok then so must be legal

 

" calling ...officer dumbassss!"

 

your not allowed a 250 on a cbt.

maybe you was years ago, but not now. :wtf: (as far as im aware)

because i would of been on a 250 at 17 instead of a 125 lol

 

he was a biker himself lol he was just going on at me for not wesring leathers

 

you could ride upto a 250 on a cbt years and years ago

not now no way
