What bikes can i ride with my class A2 License?
So i'm going to be doing my test in the summer, i know the test has to be done on a bike with a minimum of something like 400 cc's
The government website says the bike can be
Category A2 medium-sized motorbikes
These are motorbikes, with or without a sidecar not exceeding:
35kW power output
0.2kW/kg power to weight ratio
Category A2 motorbikes can't be derived from a vehicle of more than double its power.
Now i'm not sure what size engine a 35kW power output is. Because in the lower class you can only ride 125's and in the upper class you can ride any bike. Class A2 is somewhere in the middle but i was wondering what sized bike is like the maximum you could get, in terms of cc's.
Any examples would be useful like the Honda NC700x or the KTM Duke 690
While on the A2 license, it doesn't really matter about the engine size of bikes. It matters more about the power output they make.
Basically, with an A2 category license, you can ride a motorcycle up to 46.6BHP. A bike with more power than this can be restricted to that mark, but must not make over 93BHP in its original form.
So… Something like a newer 600cc super-sports would generally make over 100BHP, where as a 600cc cruiser may only make around 60BHP. Even my 600cc dual-sport only has 43BHP or something. This is the reason why engine size does not really count with the A2.
You can ride Honda NC700x with class A2 license but not KTM Duke 690 as it is restricted in list of bikes which we can ride with class A2 license.
If you go to link 1 below it explains the restrictions.
If you go to link 2 Change category to A2 and it will give you list off all or by make of bikes you can ride and take your test on and if it needs to be restricted or not

- Are 2012/2013 Mercedes Benz C-Class good cars? So i'm 17 and i've had a 2000 honda civic since i was 15 1/2. It was my starter car and my parents think i'm ready for my real car now. Weve been looking at cars and a benz was not a forst choice but i drove a 2013 c350 and i fell in love but i keep hearing its not reliable. But i can't find any honest reviews on them. So if you have a c class from this year can you please tell me about yours? Is ot reliable? Expensive to fix? What problems have you had?
