bassclef Posted August 25, 2009 Share Posted August 25, 2009 Hello Everyone, This morning I took my module 1 test on my 1995 SR125 and I'm hoping to gain an A2 license, remaining restricted to 33bhp for 2 years. I passed (yay!), but was only given an A1 certificate because my bike was not on the examiner's list of machines capable of 100 km/h. He said if I could get a certificate of conformity for the bike, proving it could achieve the minimum speed, I could get the certificate upgraded. My question is, has anyone here taken their restricted A2 license on an SR125? I'll feel more comforted if others have done so, and it's just a case of getting the necessary paperwork. I'm not sure that I fancy taking the test again - I'll probably flunk it next time! Thanks for your help... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hate_camel Posted August 25, 2009 Share Posted August 25, 2009 Hi I've done my module 1 with my SR125 and there was no mention that it wasn't capable of getting me my A2 license. Maybe I should double check my certificate when I get home... I think your examiner should have done his research, I've not heard of anyone being told this before and he must have been in a bad mood to pull you up on it. An A1 license is pretty crap, it limits you to a 125 forever I think. The bike is quite slow but it should be capable. Anyway, you passed the test and reached the speeds needed for that so surely the bike is suitable?! Makes me wonder why anyone actually goes through the maze that the dsa have created for getting your full license, its so confusing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hadn't considered that my bike might not be suitable, it wasn't on my list of many things that might go wrong today! I had hoped to get my module 2 booked while I was on a roll, but I'm going to have to sort this out first. It's good to know that you did yours on a SR125 anyway, I feel a bit better now.
