And yea they only let you do your p's test on a lams legal bike. so even if you buy a 600 like an r6 or gixxer make sure you can get something for the test.

Haha shoulda seen his face when i was asking that question...

LOL yea first day of the Learner course is ok. I hated the bit where we had to get pushed around on the bike. Almost stacked it lol

I think for the p's test, you can borrow the bikes they have there for the day.

Haha yea!
thats gotta be the worst part but i guess its part of the lerning process.
one of the guys i did it with still managed to get kicked off caus he just couldnt control the bike, ie we would literally get ready to jump off the bike and run when he was trying to stop next to us haha!

Yea one guy doing his p's test managed to damage one of the centres bikes, all we heard was a big screech of the tyres and his mirror breaking with the fall.

did you end up finding a cbr yet?

or you gonna go the 600 path?

i picked up a cbr250rr. I will probably look at a 600RR once i get my p's.

You can ride 600's on P's?

I'm about to buy a 250rr soon myself.. can't wait.

**.::F[L]Y::.** · 31-12-2008 06:59 PM

have a look into the rvf400. you will get over the 250RR pretty quickly

there is a place in sydney called RR motorcycles in Haberfield Sydney/.. you can buy a new r6, gsxr600 or a gsxr750 with a restricter on it and registered under the LAMS.. which makes it learner legal..

restrictor? intresting. how easy is it to remove?

**D4rk4n63l** · 02-01-2009 03:21 PM

^would like to know as well.. about the restriction, not how to remove it.

AFAIK, the only legal way to put on restrictor is that if the manufacturer put it on in the first place, and the only bigger bike I know that has this restrictor is the ducati monster 600 LE (limited)

yer id like to no if you could disconnect it when you rode it off street and how complicated it is to re-connect for legal use

**LaZaZaL89** · 02-01-2009 05:01 PM

I have heard of people doing it to the hyosung gt650r as well

**emsad** · 02-01-2009 05:04 PM

what i know so far is that it costs like 2500 to do it because you need a engeneer to do it and put it on a dyno to get the power rating so its under 15kw/1tone ratio.. i have no idea how hard it is to put on or of.. what i think it might just be a restricted tuned ecu or just restricted slides.. i seen a few r6's and gsxr600 with L plates on them so i started to investigate and have found out they all got it from that same place..
