    Question Do you need a 250 for full test?

    Do you need to be on a 250cc (or smaller) bike while sitting your full licence test?

    Yes, unless you have a letter from the LTNZ giving you permission.

    Goodness no.

    I sat my test on an A50.

    And I to my motorcycle parked like the soul of the junkyard. Restored, a bicycle fleshed with power, and tore off. Up Highway 106 continually drunk on the wind in my mouth. Wringing the handlebar for speed, wild to be wreckage forever.

    Ok. I have been told that during a full licence test (and only for the test, not the ride there) you can use a bigger bike, just like you can sit a full car licence test in a manual even if your restricted says you can only drive an auto.

    On your restricted license, you can only ride a 250 or less, unless you have an exemption.

    Therefore, until you gain your full license, you may only ride a 250 or less... ergo, no, you can only ride a 250 or less.

    I'm pretty sure none of the car licences (learners/restricted/full) says whether it's for manual or auto. You can take all your tests in an auto then drive a manual.

    .

    100% OT but if you sit your restricted in an auto, then you may only drive an auto
