Good Restricted bike

[Mobster Raks]

Getting my CBT soon and wondering waht bike to get that would be good on the restrictions?
Want to spend up to £1.5k

And yes yes, i know, get your DAS. I want to get some riding experience down first, beit on a 33HP restrcited!

Ta chaps

Your CBT only allows you to ride a 125 of around 15bhp, on L plates.

The 33bhp bikes are for riders with a full license, but under 21.

Good 33bhp bikes - Kawasaki ER5 or the Honda CB500 gets good write-ups.

really?

i thought that the 33bhp applies to people with CBT and also over 21?

if this is the case, then maybe i should be on a DAS?!?!?

It is actually slightly different to this.........

RSVMilly is correct with regards to the CBT. However you have two options on the DAS - you can do the test to ride any bike, or a test to ride up to a 33bhp.

Both tests are identical - it is the cost that will be different.

Call one of your local training schools and they will explain all.

I cannot see any point on doing the DAS restricted - unless it is for money reasons.

i must have misunderstood what i read then.

DAS it is then!

My instructor (BiB) told me even the majority of policemen didn't understand the full complexities of bike licences.
