OMG, this is like the third post I have done in 2 days...

Is it legal to derestrict a sym jet 100cc. I am 17 and am on a provisional licence... I am really not sure on this one cuz I would have thought there would be a good reason to restrict them, but people openly sell bikes stating they are derestricted, and my local garage can derestrict them, so surely if it was illegal, they wouldnt be doing it.

Anyway, if it is illegal, what are the penalties? would insurance pay out? can it actually be tested to see if it is derestricted? How likely would it be that these checks are done?

Cheers.

What power would it create? A prov license allows up to 14.5 (ish) bhp and up to 125cc's. If is under that bhp, then it would be legal for your to ride.

Well, a 100cc probably is already at the 14bhp mark. If you de-restrict it, you'll be illegal. Put it that way :)

As said, everyone does it.

the only reason you can get it de-restricted is cos its possible for you to ride it on a FULL license. seeing as your on a provisional you will be illegal so therefore leave as. it invalidates your insurance and a copper that knows will notice and it can be checked. not worth it.

well why dont you stick with what you got, and put say £5 a week into a pot and aim for a nice 600cc for your 21st birthday pressie to yourself :D thats the kinda thing i do. by then you will be able to get cheeper insurance and will have fair few pennies towards it.

Not to mention the three years riding experience you will have gathered :wink:

My first bike was a suzuki gp100

I had it for about 3 years.

I enjoyed every minute on it and learnt sooo much from it
