I dont think there's a need for you to carry passengers is there ... you don't have your full licence yet ... do you ... ??
I had a brief consultation with the guy at the local testing station on the subject ... his idea of the legislation as it is written is ... The basic power / weight ratio applies to all bikes available to those on the learner / restricted licence. The no modification rule is aimed at those with "Intent" to flout the ratio rule ... either by engine modification / improvement. Or the removal of factory fitted restriction, fitted at the time of manufacture.
Should an Officer of the Law have any doubts as to the ability of your bike to pass the required test ... An infringement notice MAY be issued ... AND ... a pink sticker (may) be attached to said bike. At the said Officer of the Law's descretion ... of course ...
You can apply for a bike not on the list ... to be put on the list.

I once got a ticket for doing 51 in a 50 k area. Cost me$210, revenue collecting bastards.
Then I got a ticket for my WoF running out by 1 day. 4 million dollar fine.
Then I went through a stop sign at 1 kmh, cost me 7 trillion demerit points.
Still, it gave me something to post on KB.
Harrumph.
No you can't, the manufacturer can but they wont be the ones modifying the bike will they?
Pack donuts and a Thermos of coffee. Now if you were to modify your bike to include a donut maker ...
Gees inflation really sucks. I guess 7 trillion demerit points means loss of licence in your future place.
Looks like your food to donut ratio is a bit off today![]()

I just emailed them today asking them to add my GB500 to the list.
Was kinda hard to find the specs in English, but with a bit of google translate I got there in the end.
They emailed me back within 20 minutes saying they will put it on the list as it complies. (of course it would!)
Soo happy!

Hi clowndog,
Welcome and a good choice of bike. Not sure what you call 'nice' for a helmet, looks or a good brand? It's not easy to 'tell another' to buy XYZ gear, sometimes body dimensions dictate what brands we can wear DAMHIK. All that can really be suggested is buy the best you can afford. Cheap jackets are just that, CHEAP unless you are buying a genuine 'clearance' bargain. Budget brands, 1 tonne, cnell etc are all easily found in the webby/tardme. Better brands Technix, Spidi, Ixon etc etc are usually in retail outlets. comes down to preference of style and look Vs Functionality.... My own preference is function over form, but it dont always look purty!

Thanks for that GrayWolf.
It's a Shoei helmet, just being lent it from a mate. But he says it is a good one.
I'm small to medium build. But yes safety comes first and hopefully the gear will look right with the GB500 if I can help it.
I'll keep a look out for the brands that you have recommended. Cheers!
