    Great to hear your exemption worked out for you. My husband has applied for one but he was wanting it (he's on his L) for a 650 burgman. Did you have to specify what size you were looking to apply for or is the 600cc "the limit"?
    Hope you find a nice bike!

    I wasnt after anything

    bigger than a 600cc. So my answer is yes i asked for an exemption up to
    600cc. Only being on my 6L i feel anything bigger is/ would be over board to learn on. good luck to your husband getting his. As long as hes not trying to pull the wool over there eyes i hear they are pretty good. I just stated my case and crossed my fingers.

    katana 600 or maybe a bandit 650 ? they are big enough to let a person of larger stature not look silly ,they can also sit at various speeds without haveing to be red lined constantly.
    whats your price range ?

    So you just write in saying you're a huskier gentleman, and as such a 250 is inappropriate? Did they ask for proof of your size? Cheers.

    Nope - I got a 800 on mine. Although Im sure that they look at cruisers and sportsbike differently

    Anyone who wants more information on applying for an exemption just pm me, as I can help. Work for LTNZ and can advise that the more information you give the better your chances of getting your exemption approved.

    Checkout Gremlins posts search under exemptions......there really helpful

    I got an exemption to sit from 6L to 6F on my 1200cc one shot to pass or fail which I believe is almost unheard of but they took everything into account and allowed it....It did take a lot more phone calls, letters and photos but the ladies at the LTSA were wickedly friendly and very professional....

    I passed it sweet as even though the Driving inspector really put me through the ringer......... so you got to be confident that you can do it

    also had a mean laff with a local boy in blue on the test day....I think he thought I was taking the piss with a Learners on my FJ1200

    if you need any help PM

    Good Luck
