    Grr, would love to know when/if the power to weight ratio rules are going to be introduced - not keen on spending big money on a 250 if the bottom is going to fall out of the market.

    The official date was April 1.

    The actual date is now quoted on the NZTA web site as May 1.

    It may even be delayed more.
    David must play fair with the other kids, even the idiots.

    Where do you get that official date from? I can't find it on the NZTA website.

    What about people who are part way through the GDLS, and their 250cc motorcycle isn’t
    a LAMS motorcycle?
    A 3-year transitional period will allow for a smooth transition for novice riders who have
    entered the motorcycle GDLS just prior to these provisions coming into force. This means that
    they will be able to get a full licence by progressing through the current GDLS.

    Yeah where did you get that date?

    I rang NZTA just now and they don't know themselves, apparently they are waiting on parliament to make a decision on it.

    In the slothracer's link there's a mention on top of page 9

    When is this being changed and when will it apply?
    The majority of proposals in the amendment Rule will come into force on 1 July 2011. Some
    proposals may take longer to implement due to system change requirements. The date of
    implementation for this proposal will be confirmed after consultation on the amendment Rule.


    However, I remember reading somewhere that it will actually be start of 2012 when this legislation comes into effect. Rather annoying we don't have a date

    The woman I spoke to at NZTA said it should have been September last year (?) but they were still waiting for it to get through parliament so it would be a while yet, even they don't know the dates.

    Some planning skills on display there, wonder how long these muppets would survive in the private sector

    wow, like 3 years on...
    i come from QLD, AUS and the LAMS scheme gives much more options though i ended up with a VTR250 just cause i liked the looks and a good reliable first bike.

    but will this new NZ LAMS take out the 250's ? or did i read it wrong...

    but now that im over here on my OZ license, i think (still got to ring up NZ transport) i will be restricted to a 250, and a really wanted something around 400-500cc.

    would be great if they implemented on the 1st of July though, they seriously should.

    Yes, when I posted the dates in March, the dates I posted was what was expected.

    However only some of the amendment act was passed. The rest of it, including LAMS languishes with our elected leaders.

    So when i sell my MC19 in a year or so, i will get jack all for it if this law is passed. Poos.

    I wish they could give us an accurate date for this. Bloody politicians.

    It's apparently August now. I'll buy your MC19 off you for a race bike.
    ...Full throttle till you see god, then brake.

    Nope. August is not confirmed.....not even close.

    It is likely to be within the next 9 years tho.
