Believe me, even the NZTA knows about the loophole, and says it's available.
Mossys bike looks great, and I've have it if I could justify the cost.

You could get it sign written with www.motorcycletraining.co.nz and claim 30% back as a business expense for advertising. Couple of online photos on your web site and some depreciation yearly. Couple of years time only owe you $5 and a packet of chips all up. Welcome to the blurry side of the law.Originally Posted by rastuscat

Hey Guys, some really good information going up here, thank you very much, highly appreciate all your guys time. have got my eye pretty set on the R65. Are there any other decent classic twins around which I should consider?

I just got back from Raro. While you may not be able to convert your Raro license to a NZ licence anymore, you can still use it for 12 months as an international license.
Met a guy over there who has a holiday there every year and does just that, and he's got some 1100cc cruiser thing here.
The $20 license is just a money making Scheme. There was a line 10 deep, all day every day waiting to ride up a 20 metre driveway then ride back in and out of 5 cones.
Nobody failed, including the guy that didn't weave in and out of the cones.
What's even funnier is the rental company can write you out a temporary license for 24 hours so you can ride to the police station to sit your license.

This is my idea of a scrambler, and built by a woman:

The detail on this thing is amazing.

Yes, it looks nice but the 600 motor is pretty much a plodder as is the heavy flywheel and 4 speed box.
The R65 would have the later box/clutch and they spin right out to over 7000.
I took my BMW to work today, suppose its a sort of scrambler... R80ST

I didn't think it was possible to make a BMW more ugly than stock.

Why not a Dubya? It's somehow managed to find its way onto the LAMS list, despite being 676cc, and there are aftermarket parts for Africa if you can decipher Webike Japan's Engrish.

Absolutely right. They didn't even bother considering how the Police (or indeed WOF checkers) would establish power OR weight, they just made it so that "any motorcycle which is modified in a way which increases its power-to-weight is no longer learner approved".
They did have the foresight to put the burden of proof on the person failing the WOF / getting the ticket, though. For better or worse
Could be worse, I suppose. They could have just said "any motorcycle which is modified is no longer learner approved"...

It's really not as hard as you're making it sound. Firstly, this whole scheme has absolutely nothing to do with the WOF scheme. Why you're bringing WOF into this is beyond reason.Absolutely right. They didn't even bother considering how the Police (or indeed WOF checkers) would establish power OR weight, they just made it so that "any motorcycle which is modified in a way which increases its power-to-weight is no longer learner approved".

Secondly, it's not hard to see if a modification was done "in a way which increases its power-to-weight". Any modification that either increases power or decreases weight is prohibited. A slip-on muffler, for example, does both. Really not hard for anyone to figure that one out.

To be fair, they did..."these motorcycles must be in standard form as produced by the manufacturer.". I was just meaning the folks making it sound like a massive deal have not had first hand experience with any of it.Absolutely right.

Personally I have changed lighting, screens, plastics, seats, exhaust tips, some internals etc among other things on 3 LAMs bikes and have not run into a single issue over any of it with the fuzz or WOF peoples (although as above a bit redundant), and have talked to my insurer about anything I was unsure of out of interest, as technically everything I have done is illegal, but so is J walking...
Shit some overzealous wanker could probably do you for changing brake pads and tyres from factory with wording like thatDoesn't mean it will/won't happen or is worth worrying about if you're willing to accept the risk
