They tried to introduce a system that's working in Europe...but the difference is that somebody that don't know shit about bikes has made this list.
A lot of bikes on the list are too powerful for a beginner.
Some examples:
Husaberg:
ALL on the list
Extremes:
TE300 2 stroke (probably healthy 60hp at the wheel with 100kg of weight)
FS650C & E - more than 65hp or so at the wheel with 112kg of weight
KTM:
probably ALL on the list
Extremes:
EXC300 - same as Husaberg TE300
EXC525 - very similar power/weight ratio as one above
Yamaha:
A lot on the list,
Extremes:
WR450F - healthy 60hp with 120-ish kilos
The list goes on and on...
And 204hp/1000kg is too much for learners legal bike.
In Europe for example it is allowed to ride Suzuki SV650, but variant with 34hp, which brings you to 34hp / 165kg bike + 75 average rider = 240kg
This brings us to 141hp/tone, actually, I think the rules there are 100kw/136hp per 1000kg.
150-ish kw per tone is too much for a learner, and this law (in this driving conditions) will definitely increase death and crash rate among young motorcyclists.
Just mu 2 cents...
