Rest in peace Tony - you will be missed.
my 1st road bike was a 1000cc,
and i was fine.
Then I could get a Kb Tshirt, move to Timaru and become a full time crossdressing faggot
A number of Aus lams approved bikes are 'restricted'. Particularly the 650s
They drill holes in the carburetor slides so they suck air instead of fuel at full throttle - thus decreasing the horsepower. Or they re-map the efi machines.
Part of the deal when buying one for a fully licensed rider - like my KLR650 - is to negotiate to have the holes bogged up or remapped as part of the purchase.
Interesting:
That list states
...which includes, amongst a few others, the NSR250.All motorcycles with engine capacities of 0 – 260cc are approved under LAMS with the exception of the following models:
The next section then states
The following motorcycles with engine capacities of 261 – 660cc are approved under LAMS.
These motorcycles must be in standard form as produced by the manufacturer. Any motorcycle modified in a way that increases its power-to-weight ratio is not LAMS approved regardless of whether it appears on the list
Presumably an NS250R (MC11) is an approved learner machine, as it is 0-260cc, not modified and not an NSR250 or any other bike on the exception list ?
edit: presumably this also allows RDs, RZs, etc?

Lets take a look at the actual legislation:
http://www.legislation.govt.nz/regul...LM3956501.html
So motorcycles can be placed on a prohibited list - and I believe the NSR250 is being placed on that prohibited list.“approved motorcycle means the make and model of any motorcycle that—
“(a) has an engine capacity of 250 cc or less, unless the Agency has prohibited the use of that make and model of motorcycle by notice published on the Agency's Internet site; or
“(b) has an engine capacity of more than 250 cc but not more than 660 cc and a power-to-weight ratio of not more than 150 kilowatts per tonne and is approved for use by the Agency by notice published on the Agency's Internet site
And not a bike, but DAMN THAT'S LOUD http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lf63j...feature=fvwrel
Was that a typo? I expect the NSR will be excluded, but whether they bother to pick up the NS (and possibly RD, RZ also) is another question. If they *copy* this from an existing policy i.e. Oz in this case, there may well be a 'hole' there for these older two-smokers.
Although they could certainly be added down the track, as it were. Ba-doom tish!

No type. It is being placed on the prohibited list - meaning it is excluded. You can be sure they are starting with the Australian list as a base. No point re-inventing the wheel when someone has already worked it out for you.
Plus our legislation is almost identical to theirs.
It's really simple ...
The maximum power to weight ratio has already been stated. For a motorcycle to exceed that ... means it is not LAMS approved. Regardless of ANY list it may appear on.
I'm guessing the charge if caught will be the old "riding a motorcycle for which you are unlicenced for". With the appropiate fines and demerits. Piss the cop off with "attitude" .... and it may get impounded as well ...
If you "need" the extra ponies ... make it a sleeper. Attracting the attention of the enforcers can only be bad news ... and expensive.
When life throws you a curve ... Lean into it ...
I have evolved as a KB member.Now nothing I say should be taken seriously.
There is a list of approved bikes. I rang Land Transport because I wanted to know if the Buell Blast was on the list..the guy I spoke to emailed the list to me...so it's out there people.....
Do not walk behind me, for I may not lead
Do not walk ahead as I may not follow.
Do not walk beside me as the path is narrow
In fact FU*K off and leave me alone
