my bike is not fast enough!

Had my MH125 for two weeks now.

And to be honest its not quick enough, it still gives me a buzz.

Got used to the power after a week.

How do i get a faster machine? am i right in thinking if i take my full test on my 125, i am then restricted to a 33bhp? Or if i take my test on a big bike i can go for anything i want.

My friend who owns the shop said he would pretend its restricted, and just ride anything i want.

Would i be in a world of sh!t if i was caught with a full power bike and it should be 33bhp?

What if i had an accident and they checked my bike?

Dont really want to be dodgy!

I want a superduke next, or might go for a 600, maybe a GSXR.

Or would it rip my arms off. I think i should keep my 125 for 6 months and get some experience, tbh i just wish it was 33bhp so i could crack a ton! would it?

would like to do my test on my 125, if i pass wouldnt mind getting a 250 ninja or a DRZ400 and if i keep it for two years i can ride any size bike i want? right?

can u help cause im confused, as usual!

thanks

How comes

if you pass your car test at 17 and have the dosh+++,then you can legally roll with a Veyron, not smart or clever but legal. :mad:

But

to be fair, I cannot recall the last time I saw a spotty teen behind the wheel of a Bugatti, or any supercar for that matter.

I think if you could buy the same performance as a superbike, in a car costing about 5 grand, then something would be done.

At the moment, it is not exactly an issue.

so

we'll allow bank balances to dictate ability to drive responsible or correctly on the road. :unsure:

You can still pass your car test at 17 a get an M3, potential far more dangerous to the public than an R1, if not to the rider?.

I think the same rule applies

How many 18 year old's do you see on R1's and Blades.

About as many as you see in Supercars I suspect.

Bit of an irrelevant argument.

last time

i actually saw an 18 year old on a zx10 he was wearing the crash barrier off the M62 at warrington, not nice so i am quite happy the old codgers get the better cars and bikes.

Yes

restricted but they can still ride them.

Is that unfair, when a young car driver the same age isn't restricted.

Does that show discrimination against new riders ?

Well how do you think a new car driver feels when he finds out that an L Plate rider can go out whenever they want to enjoy their bikes, when they can only go out under supervision ?

Is that unfair discrimination against learner car drivers.
