Restricted passed today. Looking for a bigger LAMs approved bike

[superjackal]

Awesome post - thanks for your help!

At 98 BHP I'd guess probably not Most lams bikes are either single cylinder, or older bikes. Anything modern with more then 400ccs that wasn't designed explicity for LAMS most likely wont be. You'd need to be looking at things like ER5f, ninja 400s, GS500s, a smattering of motards, a fair few cruisers, or some old shite.

There are a few sweet bikes on there that shouldn't be ( the RVF 400 is best example) but they're fairly hard to find.

Bikes can be submitted to LAMS pretty easily, and they get back to you within a day or two if you submit by email. It just has to be under 150 KW/tonne which NZTA figures by power in KW divided by bike weight + 90kg rider x 1000.

The 600 Hornet for example is 268 kw/tonne.

As for some bike suggestions:

Bit older but worth a look if you can find somebody to give it a going over

Otherwise keep an eye out for these. Possibly not that one, but certainly keep an eye out for a 250 hornet in good nic. They're a full sized bike, and they have heaps of go in em. Theyre reputed to go forever. If you have any questions look for gijoe in the hornet swarm thread. He seems to know everything there is to know about em.

So you are telling all on a restricted licence when up-grading to get something 'fast then ? Now that is good advice !!

Fast being used in a very, very loose sense.
