    I can hook you up with the fastest CBX250RS in NZ, maybe even the world. In 6 months or so.

    Good to see that stupid rule removed at last and making it safer for learners to ride with the flow of traffic rather than get in the way and endanger themselves to the unweary.

    Some ... on 250's capable of travelling at 100 km/hr ... and with a bit of experience on back roads, at that speed ... maybe ...

    But ... those with a bike barely (or not) capable of that speed ... with little open road experience ...

    How long before the first ... that lets their bravado overule their ability ... and gets hurt ...

    I reckon that the rule changes won't make much of a difference as the people that would be more inclined to push it whilst on their L plate would have been doing so no matter what the law stated.

    Tried it yesterday thanks

    Funny how prior to the law change, for learners doing 100 kph it was deemed "dangerous", a day later it's all of a sudden "safe". Just shows how stupid some laws are really!
    Shaken, not stirred in the shakey city!
