You do know that you can take your A test before you're 24, if you've held an A2 license for 2 years? Passing the A2 when you're 19 could mean you could take the A test at 21...... Anyway, why bother if you're gonna stick with the same bike?........you wouldn't be able to take the A test on your VFR400.....gotta be done on a bike of 595cc or bigger and min 40Kw....... Yep, unfortunately I had just turned 22 when I took my A2 meaning it's a 2 year wait regardless. It screws up people like me and discourages new riders. In my opinion after 2 years your licence should be "reviewed" and a decision made based on that. Same test, same roads, same bike, probably same instructor. It's essentially a refresher course so that people can take my money. I didn't take the test on my VFR, I took it on the school's restricted XJ6. My turning circle would be a nightmare for the U turn!
