When I was a University student in the mid 90's I went from owning and riding a DT175 to a GPZ305 to a GSX1100. All of the bikes were bought from bike shops (if you had money, they didn't seem to care what license you had).
I taught myself to ride and didn't bother getting a motorcycle license until many years later.
I did have a car license however. But back then the punishment for getting caught without a motorcycle license was a "riding on the wrong class of license" ticket and a $250 fine. Given the change in policing attitudes over the last few years, I'm sure that the coppers are no longer so lenient.

I forgot to add that having a license doesn't make you a good rider, and not having a license doesn't make you a bad rider.
However I do support the graduated licensing scheme in principle. Even though I didn't personally follow through with it until much later.

Riding a 600 is no problem in itself but by breaching your license restriction means that insurance is not gonna be something easy to sort out, if you even could. You don't wanna come off and have your bike slide into a 250,000 car and have to pay it's excess now do you?

I would be concerned, but if, as you say, they had shown a decent level of maturity, and skill, I would fret less.
I too am curious about the acquisition of a bike without the appropriate license, how can this happen unless purchased privately, and what of the insurance?.

Anyone can buy or own a bike, regardless of their license status. A full motorcycle license is only required if you want to ride large bikes on public roads.
Having said that, I doubt many bike shops these days would let you go out on a bike without checking your license first.
I never had bike or 3rd party insurance when I was riding as a teenager. I would assume that you wouldn't be covered by your policy unless you were legally licensed for the motorcycle you were riding at the time of the accident.

All riders are really good riders when they've been riding a year. When I'd been riding a year I was shit hot. Hailwood was lucky none of the works teams spotted me. After all, y'can learn all there is to riding in a year, easy.

Wise man Dave.....in saying that...i got a 600 when i was on my restricted and said i wouldnt ride it till i got my full.....(insert Tui add) i knew the rules/law but did it anyway, sold the 250 and had to borrow one to sit my full. I guess adiddy can make his own mind up, but it aint a good idea IMO to step up just yet, it will come soon enough....

im not saying im shoit hot or anything!! i just feel that I could ride a 600 and be able to cope better than a 250 while not feeling like the enigne is gonna fry.
im still a young teen who needs more experience but i feel that to gain this a 600 would help- i dont necessarily want to do stunts or anything , i own a dirt bike and feel that a stepup is needed soon to progress that little level further...
as for the police seriously would they follow it up???
Insurance - i was thinking getting fire and theft with 3rd party?!

Dunno about where you live, but in Wellington I haven't heard of any cases where somebody got their license checked on a bike for anything other than breaking traffic rules - like speeding.
Don't worry about your parents, you can do whatever you want.
You'll be fine riding a bigger bike after a week or so of getting used to it.
The thing you should think very, very seriously about is the unlikely case where you smash into somebody's ferrarri or do expensive damage to property. Since you don't have your full license, there is no way any insurance company would cover you for even third party.
