Would you change the 250 law?

Maybe they should leave Restricted at 250 and change Learners to 150

And the point of that, exactly, would be what?

I see value in a variation between L and R. Arguably 250cc, given modern bikes , is too powerful for a true learner (I don't mean folk who have been riding for years on an L ).

But reducing the capacity/performance for restricted would be overly onerous.

The actual capacity figures (and whether it should be cc, a list, or a hp figure) are debateable.

Though I should add that i say that in the context that I would like to see the age for a class 6L reduced to 14, but the age for a full (class 1 or 6 ) increased to at least 18. (I'd leave the 6R at 15, same as 1L) .

And offer something like the CBTA direct access for over 25s.

I wasn't aware of the way it workd in oz but that sounds pretty good to me.
One thing going for it is all the larger capacity bikes allowed obviously aren't real sporty or quick so all the fullas who would be buying a bike on their learners and acting silly will end up getting a "sporty" 250 anyway, cos then they will look cool.
