Another 'test' question

V6 Mondy · Post by **V6 Mondy** » Jul 20th, '07, 07:37

I have a friend who isn't 19 yet for another month but has passed his test on a 125 and is currently riding a restricted bike for 2 years.
However in 2 years time he won't be 21 , so can he still automatically get on an un-resticted bike ? Or does he have to do the test again ?

I should imagine it'll be alright. Whats a month between friends!

not a lot LOL , but just wondered of the legalities

he's 19 in August, so in 2 years his bike license (restricted) will have in theory expired

Was just about to question your maths funky, and either your post just disappeared or I’m going mad

Hi as long as 2 years has passed since his test he will automatically be entitled to ride an unrestricted bike.

So how far does this strectch back ? Supposing you take a test at 17 on a 125 ?
And in 2 years your 19, surely your not entitled ?

As long as you have held an A2 motorcycle liscence for 2 years, you may ride a full powered motorcycle.

A friend of mine took his A2 full bike liscence a month after his 17th birthday. Therefore a month after his 19th, he will be able to go out and ride any, full-powerd motorcycle.

Tom L on the forum is just 20 and has a full motorcycle liscence, no restrictions, I'm sure there are others.

as bove really, its 2 years from date of pass when your under 21, i have a mate who is 19 riding around on a zx7 as he took his test as soon as he was 17 and then saved up for his zx7r as it was his dream bike

Yeah my test was 3 days after my 17th, when i was 19 had a 120bhp at rear wheel ZX636. 2 years of 33 BHP is a long time, but good I guess, its just annoying that some 125's are quicker than restricted bikes
