uktriggersm50 Posted December 1, 2009 Share Posted December 1, 2009 i always thought at 17 or any age when going for your restricted 33 bhp licence you had to ride a 500cc motorbike a suzuki gs500 for example but have been told by an instructor that you can take the test on a 125cc and still ride 33bhp any sized bike is the instructor right? do you take the test on a 125cc (12bhp) or a 500cc (guessing less than or 33bhp) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NearOn Posted December 1, 2009 Share Posted December 1, 2009 If you are under 21 doing test or going in for the restricted licence out of choice, then you can take test on a 125 and then are restricted for 2 years, basically meaning can ride any bike up to 33bhp/25kw.Hope helps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MtotheJ Posted December 2, 2009 Share Posted December 2, 2009 Although, I'm pretty sure there is no choice. You have to do it on a 125 as I assume the 500cc bikes will be over 33bhp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted December 2, 2009 Share Posted December 2, 2009 There is no choice... i was 35 years old and took my restricted test... had to be on a 125cc machine. Good luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted December 2, 2009 Share Posted December 2, 2009 For standard m/c licence (not the light m/c one) the bike must be over 120cc but not more than 125cc and capable of minimum 100kph - when passed all modules you are then restricted for 2 years to 33bhp.Which is why some people pass as above and get a restricted larger cc bike which they can de - restrict after the 2 years is up.

MtotheJ Posted December 3, 2009 Share Posted December 3, 2009 Most schools usually use a YBR 125 or CG 125 and even SR 125s in some places. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted December 16, 2009 Share Posted December 16, 2009 I am so glad that at last I will be able to buy a Suzuki performance bike in India through regular outlets without having to pay outrageous customs duty. I can’t wait to buy a 200 – 500 cc bike that has dashing looks and, of course, superb handling, light weight in addition to scorching speed. My budget is about 5 lacs.

Guest Posted December 16, 2009 Share Posted December 16, 2009 the 500cc machine is for the unrestricted test - direct access, otherwise its the 125cc.. easier on the schools insurance premiums too.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
