LAMS approved bikes

241kg, is that accurate?

All full of liquids? Yep. It's a heavy as bike for reasons I still don't understand. Similar shit (er6f and the fz6r) are like 50kg less for basically the same bike. Dunno, I wouldn't want to learn on something with fairings and that fucking heavy though. You'd almost certainly drop that at some stage.

But when it comes to paying out......
All it takes its a crash and the replacing the damaged parts with not OEM parts and you have likely made your bike non compliant.
According to the LAM statement even lightening the bike by 1 gram will make it non-compliant.

I have emailed NZTA about the whole modifying/weight issue and will see what their response is.

Yes I thought that there were some odd bikes on that list too.

KTM EXC300, that has 56 HP, and is only 104 kg, and that is a hell of a lot faster than the fastest 250 2 stroke which is the KR-1S.

Never mind, that's what the government wants to do, it will do it.

it shows the problem with the list, the Australians got restrickted ones of these and they met the test, we never have, (along with a heap of bikes from nearly every manuafacturer)

in Australia the Lams approved bike have a different rego sticker, so the buyer, the cop and the dealer all know what it is, god knows how anyone is ment to know over here,

When the rego number is radioed into Com's (showing make, model, and capacity) ... the registered owner may come up ... and if shown as a learner/restricted, Com's will confirm if it is (or isn't) on the list.

Little or no change to the procedure to identify unlicenced, or incorrectly licenced riders .... that is in place now.

The onus will be on the rider to ride a LAM's approved motorcycle, if they hold a learner/restriced licence.

If you know it isn't on the list ... or not sure ...

But are happy to risk it ...

The NZ rego stickers will also have LAMS on them for approved motorbikes, so you can tell at the roadside what is and is not approved.

How will the NZTA know if a bike should have a LAMS sticker or not ?

They don't record weight or power.

They cant even get the list remotely right - I doubt they could identify which bikes would comply and which would not.

i have not seen this anywhere, but i hope its true, and I hope the procedure to get used bikes on it is easy to follow,

What are you finding unclear?
Buy a really fast bike and don't stop

Might have to do with the fact that I flunked science/didn't pay attention in math for the equations.
I'll just wait till it happens and then ask one of you if the bike I want at the time on trademe is a-ok. haha

Till then I'll just stand over here *walks out door* and twirl my hair/paint my nails/giggle.

If it's on the list you'll be fine otherwise so that nail painting, hair twirling when you get pulled over

Never had a ticket yet.

I don't suppose anyone know where you can find "official manufacturer specs" on bikes? Particularly things like Japanese specific imports? Looks like people can apply to have bikes added onto the LAMS list. Simply a matter of finding the official specs, frame numbers, and then sending in an easy as application. There's a few bikes out there like the CB400 superfour and SV400 that should be on the list, but struggling to find "official" specs on them.
