Remember, that GOOD QUALITY TRAINING stays with you forever. It doesn't get sold with your bike, or expire with your rego. It stays with you FOREVER..
It's not the message that is DELIVERED, but the message that is RECEIVED that is important.
Damn the timing of this law.
Was planning on selling my rgv next year but will have to sell it before the law changes and it will be virtually impossible to sell.
Good law i think though, will help out the larger (read as fat buggers like me) people get a decent bike rather than some little 250 that has a huge premium on it.
On a side note, any learners wanting to buy a freshly rebuilt rgv in the next few months haha.
seeing as it's only manufacturers that can get other models added to the list (without waiting for LTNZ to get off their arse) perhaps KB could set up a wiki for each manufacturer and quickly compile a list of all the legal bikes and then approx each manufacturer asking them to submit on our behalf.
.... back in green and feeling great ....
lol - I still think 2ts will be ok.. I bought my 2t off a full licensed rider and I myself am a long time full licensed rider - learners generally don't go for them I recon.. for noobs there are too many unknowns about rebuilds and maintenance and reliability of a 2 stroke, and most don't even know what 2 or 4 stroke is. those vtr250s, gn250s, gt250rs etc seem very popular these days for learners. I never see any 2 strokes floating around or they are pretty rare.
just keep it, 2 strokes rule and make a mint 2nd bike/toy for proper thrashes, plus more of an enthusiasts bike.. There will still be people out there that want nice examples of the dying out 2ts.. another bonus is that no one makes 2t little sports bikes/race reps anymore so logically u will assume that value should increase as more of them blow up or rust away and only a few enthusiasts are left keeping theirs going
Bloody stupid list and an even stupider method to get bikes added.
Still - there must be some cheapish RGV's coming up eh? Rather fancy something like that....

When life throws you a curve ... Lean into it ...
the issue is in australia some of these bikes have been restricted to meet the requiremnet, so the factory restricted ones (of which none have been imported into NZ) are legal, but the unrestricted ones are not,
how the consumer, or Cop that pulls you up is ment to know the difference I do not know,
(if you have a look at the AUssie distributor websites they list LAMS approved and full horsepower models for some 600-650cc models)
