 Its not 300cc you are limited to Daz its the power, its 33 bhp I think , unles it has altered you can get a retricter for any bike you wan't , cc nont matter

^ i did that and its pointless my Gixxer was a fuel guzzling monster with the restrictors & the insurance will be pretty stupid aswell i got lucky as the frame on my Gixxer was registered as a GSXF with a GSXR engine in it!

Na if its an older model sonera little washers in the throttle body, if your under 25 chances are.the insurance will be stupidly high tho

Aye mate u and me both, bare in mind once the washers are fitter u need to get it dynoed as proof for insurance tho!

Well done on theory.mate! Plain sailing now just make sure you take in everything the instructor says tho!

cheers mate.hard work when he is scottish haha.theres a lot to take in but should be ok

well done fella onwards an upward from now then,
your lucky getting one in 4 weeks 4 weeks is the closest date i could get in for mine

All the best with the test m8

COULD OF DONE THREE 8 HOUR DAYS ON THE BIKE THEN TOOK MY TEST BUT THE INSTRUCTOR DIDNT RECOMEND IT.

yeah mine recommended not doin it that way either summin to do with if you fail mod 1 you may lose your mod 2 fee an date because of having to retake the mod1 .
depends how confident you are iv only had two lessons to get the basics an carry then on teaching yourself.
am doing it on my dt aswell so itll be a restricted licence but not bothered love my dt just not the big L's

Just passed my part 1 & 2 a few weeks back. I did a three day course with my part 1 and 2 on the third day. I was bloody nervous! Nothing to worry about in the end though, picked up one minor point in total for going slightly too slow through the speed trap on the emergency stop. As a 'reward' for passing, me and the other fella doing his test got to blast the CBF600's back home via the motorway - was awesome fun and a day I'll never forget. Just relax and enjoy the training and tests - view it as time spent riding bikes. What could be better than that? Here's a pic of the bike I passed my test on:

Nope I've not ordered one, that's just the one I did my training/test on. It was a lovely bike but to be honest I've not got much to compare it to other than my DT haha. I'm gonna go for a Triumph Street Triple, just saving up for one now. Can't bloody wait :D

when he take u to the dsa ground the actual mod 1 will be the exact same as that one, the most important part of the mod 1 is the lifesaver before the uturn!
