Its crossed my mind recently that your prob better off getting a 400 when you hit say restricted or some experience learners, the 400dollar fine is a hell of a lot less than the inflation of "learner legal" bikes. but the demerits add up and they = no license.

I met someone who went to a vfr400 on his Learners and he just keeps the rego in his pocket and says he "just got it re registered (officer) and hasn't put it on yet" worked well enough he said.
If I get a 400 that's wrapped in plastic will it cover the barrel or are there very obvious places that the fuzz can look?

Scenario 1)
You get stopped.
You're riding a CBR400 with CBR250 decals on it.
Cop checks your licence (restricted)
Cop checks the bikes rego (CBR400)
Scenario 2)
You get stopped
You're riding a CBR400 with CBR400 decals on it.
Cop checks your licence (restricted)
Cop checks the bikes rego (CBR400)
Which scenario do you think you might be able to talk your way out of?
If you don't want to into grief with 'the blue bottles' then just don't ride like an arse.

You could always pull off 2 spark plug leads and say it was a 200... :rofl: :Punk:

If you want to ride something faster than the GN250, go the zxr250 or cbr250. They're heaps of fun to ride in the city and open road (and the twisties according to Toast) or if you want go megalighting speed, the RS250 or NSR250 and you'll still be legal.

Well, scenario 1 is the only one I might have a chance talking my way out of, but I'm a crap lier! What would I say, "oh, umm, yeah those bloody government agencies and their typos" I doubt that's likely to work, especially with a government agent.
though, I could flick a 250 sign over the 400 and hopefully road dirt would camouflage the lines. I might get off without any need to explain myself, but that's just hypothosis. Before they step out of their car they must run your plate through the computer and have the details of the vehicle attatched to it?
scenario 2, I wouldn't have a chance. Does honesty work on cops? Hopefully i'd run into a female officer and, well, you know how it goes, show a little skin here :apumpin: and there :shake:. Might get off lightly, worth a shot isn't it?

The subtle point I'm trying to make is this.
if you get stopped, and you're trying to hide the fact that you're riding outside the conditions of your licence by intentionally obscuring the cc rating of your bike you will be more likely to get done for breaching the licence restrictions than if you are riding a 400, registered as a 400, with 400 decals.
You'd be better off with a bike with no decals, or with a engine transplant eg gsxr 250 with a gsxr 400 engine, registered as a 250.
Though the point still stands, why are you going to get stopped?

Register the CBR"250" as a Honda CBR motorcycle to get out of scenario 1.

the only good way to pull it off is to stick a 400 motor in you 250.
if your real smart youll grind 399cc(as they are usually sticky-outty) and stamp in 249cc or whatever, otherwise with plastics they would never really check.
You dont have to have certification to change engines last i remember and in all honesty if you did restamp motor, and we are talking say 2 bikes that were similar/similar motors, then hell, i cant see how you wouldnt get away with it unless you have a fatal accident whereby later they run the engine number or the likes and work things out, then your in trouble if you aint the one dead, but if you are the one dead you havnt got much to worry about.
Also last time i was done for a rather stupid/immature-on-my-part speed despite it, and the noise my bright yellow Viffer makes, the officer guessed it was a "VFR250" i dont know if he was trying to insult me/wind me up or honestly thought honda made one, and that it could have been a 250 going that well, but anyway, take care, whatever you do take care on it!

You are supposed to get cerification for a motor change if the new motor is more hp than the old one.
But , with bikes, the odds of a testing station tester spotting the ring in would be very low indeed, I think.

As far as I know, sure, they will insure you for what you put down, however, you will not get a pay out if you are doing something illegal at the time. Good way to make money for the insurance company. Riding a 400 on a learner = illegal, no pay out for you sonny jim. Stop wasting your f*cking time and don't do it!

If I find someone trying to hide the bikes actuall cc rating for this reason then any consideration for using discretion will be abandoned very quickly. Same applies to disconected speedos ripping off the road user charges and the often found fraudulently modified registration labels. All are pathetic attempts to rip off the system and thereby rip off other road users. I am happy to throw tickets at anybody doing this without any mercy whatsoever.

The point you all seem to have missed, is that when a cop pulls you over,due to the wonders of the computer age & his R/T, he already knows all about the licence plate/in or out of rego/has a wof or not & who had that plate last anyway [even if it has expired for some years!!}.
It doesnt matter if the rego & WOF stickers are true or artfully forged & if hes going to look any further than checking/verifying your drivers licence it will be at the vin/vic plate riveted to your frame
In my opinion , only bike savvy cops will look for the cc rating stamped on your barrells
You really cant bullshit the law & are only making the consequences worse for yourself by lying in an attempt to cover up previous indescretions

I once had a RD350LC that stated it was a 250, even on the rego. I suspected originally that the engine was not the original, but it turned out to be an error made when first regoing it in NZ. Later I had a Cordia GSR turbo, which stated on the rego it was the non-turbo GSL. Once again an error made when first regoing it. I asked both times if it was worth changing the details to the correct ones (as I had my full licience), both times I was told it was not worth the hassle. Turned out the insurance was way cheaper on the Cordia, even though I disclsed that it was the GSR turbo. No complaints there :niceone:

My old gsxr 250 said 'suzuki gsxr' and nothing more on the rego. Was quite funny cos one day I was riding north on SH1 and hit a huge pothole at roadworks my rego was bolted under the no. plate and when the back end bottomed out the rego got folded behind the plate still attached. Later that arvo I was on the desert road and got pulled up by a cop in an unmarked WRX of all things (I was doing 114 clicks). He asks to look at the rego I couldn't find it. Then I suspiciously pulled it from behind the plate and it didn't say the engine size. He was convinced the bike was a 400 or 750 (yeah right) but in the end had to give me the benefit of the doubt but I still got my speeding ticket.

Not that i'm a great example to follow, one week into getting my risky i brought my first TL1000S, i lived in welly at the time and to be honest unless you were doing something wrong a cop wouldn't give you a second look, cops in auckland are much the same, unless you're riding like a twat they don't bother and most of the time the cop looks at the bike see's it's tidy and doesn't even bother with a WOF an Reg check, unfortunitly i can't get away with the tidy part anymore, infact i get pulled not doing anything wrong because of the way the bike looks.
But one thing i will say is that 250cc are in no way a slow bike on the road, hit some twisties and big bikes are your equal, and plus the 250cc is a shitload of fun to ride hard. Dont be in a hurry to move up to a faster bike, just thrash what you got, and learn.

Well, scenario 1 is the only one I might have a chance talking my way out of, but I'm a crap lier! What would I say, "oh, umm, yeah those bloody government agencies and their typos" I doubt that's likely to work, especially with a government agent.
though, I could flick a 250 sign over the 400 and hopefully road dirt would camouflage the lines. I might get off without any need to explain myself, but that's just hypothosis. Before they step out of their car they must run your plate through the computer and have the details of the vehicle attatched to it?
scenario 2, I wouldn't have a chance. Does honesty work on cops? Hopefully i'd run into a female officer and, well, you know how it goes, show a little skin here :apumpin: and there :shake:. Might get off lightly, worth a shot isn't it?
Well you could allways say you're from another planet and would she like to come back to your space ship to see your etchings. That way you could plead insanity so as not to recieve demerit points.

damn that dig! :devil2:
Firstly, just go buy an RGV250! Same motor, only a tiny bit the price coz you aint payin for no pizza-boy name, oh, well i guess ur also maybe paying for suspension etc, and that fake ram air duct!
Secondly, did Andrew Grahams RS250 win F3? - no thats right, it was an NC30!
Ask Fluffy-Cat, i bet he will admit to my NC30 even (shithouse) being better then his RS250 :P
not that idont like them or anything :P nor care... lol!:drinkup:

I got pulled on Manchester St in ChCh the other night. Cost me $80 and she didn't even ask my name or check my licence. Told me I had to wear protection though. :ride:
Safe sex with your bike!? :motu:

You'd have to worry about the insurance and the possibility of large fines for breaching your conditions, etc. so I don't think the additional worry would be worth it.
Some cops know their bikes, some don't. I know someone who has the rego label off another bike they own (same make) on the one they ride and it has never been picked up, even when they were stopped for overtaking in an unsafe manner - but if anything ever goes wrong, you'd have no one to blame but yourself.
Cops are a bit like IRD - make an innocent mistake and they probably won't crucify you, but do something deliberately with the intention of misleading them, and they'll throw the book at you.
I never got a ticket for it, but you might.. :yes:

what do you guys think of getting a 400 and slapping some 250 stickers on it?
How about getting a 250 and slapping a 600 sticker on it? :rofl:
