scooter question

[steve s]

hi all ,OK my question.

pass mod 1 and 2 on a 125 motorbike and you can ride up to a 33bhp bike

pass on a 500cc bike and you can ride anything.

but what about scooters ?.if you pass your mod 1 and 2 on a 125 scooter does that entitle you to ride up to a 33bhp scooter,and if you wanted to ride a Suzuki Bergman 650 would you need to pass on a 500cc scooter.

[steve s]

It works exactly the same way as the manual bike licenses as regards capacities, power restrictions etc.

The difference is that pass Mod 1 and Mod 2 on an automatic bike or scooter and your full licence only covers you for automatics.

To ride a 650 Burgman you'd have to do DAS or do your 2 year probation on a sub 33 bhp scooter.

Or restrict the burgman.

But why would you do that, theres a 400 not sure on its bhp tho!

thanks hodgy n capitano.i was looking at a scooter as if it were a different animal than a bike ,the only difference is automatic n manual .no different than doing your car test in an auto or manual .

As Capitano says.

Would have answered earlier if i had seen the thread....sorry.

[steve s]

thats ok Fred, i was treating bikes and scooters as different machines rather than just auto / manual.I'm a silly sod .

The 400 Burgman is 33 bhp, as is the Yamaha Majesty 400 and the Piaggio Xevo 400.
