Ok this may sound really stupid, so i say sorry in advance ...but i have seen bigger bikes ( i.e bigger than 125cc ) going around with L plates and no instructors?...i mean i thought you could only ride 125cc with L plates?....this has been bugging me for a while so am i being daft or am i missing something?

they must be restricted to 33bhp from what i got told from mates

Actually I think it's a restriction to 14 bhp if you are on L plates following a CBT??? I might be wrong with that but I thought it was 33 bhp after passing your A2 test.

You can ride a bike that is over 45bhp (i think) doing DAS training on L,s provided you have a qualified instructor with you, on your own it must be 125 and 14bhp, and after passing your test you are restricted too 33bhp unless you have taken DAS

The instructor will be somewhere, as long as they are in radio contact it's accepted. I've even seen the local examiner following guys on test in a car!

Without the instructor, it's a 50 at 16 and a 125 at 17 and above. With an instructor, doing DAS training, I think it's any size bike - so you could use your own R1 if you wanted to!

Hmmm...the thing is i have seen ( example ) a 650 honda sitting out side asda 2009 plate with L plates as well?..i only passed 3 weeks ago my self so i no what you can and can't do...< blank stare >..
