i am with boothy on this one! i am restricted and it doesnt bother me, i dont want a more powerful bike until i have more experience, i also think the same with car drivers, you get some 17 yearolds who pass there test and go and get a evo or simular and normaly crash it within weeks cause they cant handle the speed, but its there and to tempting not to use, same as the powerful bikes after a das, yes you have proven you can ride a bike thats 600cc and above, but you have not got the experience when things goes wrong cause you have given to much throttle, you clock up lots of pratice on a 125 but theres hardly any power, if you could put L plates on a 600cc it would be different, im not saying alot of restriction, but something like a 600cc not a 1100, maybe for the first year or so many miles, waiting for the comebacks now
