LIST of +63MPH /100KPH 125s please.

Partly. I want the option to be able to ride any size bike on my
licence but will likely stick to a 125 (Which is why I want one that
will do for the "A" test, to keep).
Hopefully a brit motorbike licence, being one of the most arsey and
expensive to get in the world, will do for most countries where I want
to ride a bike. IMO Here in GB there's far too much bad weather and
traffic to comfortably use a motorbike for perpetual transport.

Since when was ukrm meant to be polite? That was a smartarse reply to
a condescending smarmy post. Rock on, mk, say I.

 

??? What are you on about? I would say that most people not interested
in a hugely expensive DA course go for the "A" test rather than the
light A1 test, like I said. If I want to practice on my own for the A
test and use *my own* bike for it (or for lessons), I have no choice
but to get a +100kph 125.

That is why I posted this thread asking people to help list +100kph
125s necessary for the A test, for the benefit of all potential
learners reading this NG thinking of buying a 125.

If a learner is going to get a 125 at all, he might as well get one he
can potentially use for the A test instead of the virtually identical
A1 test, yes? It should also be easier to sell that bike to other
learners if advertised as a +100kph, "A" test capable, learner bike,
yes?
So do you know of any or not?
M.K.

 

Whatever. Name some +100kph 125s.
M.K.

 

Whatever.
Name some +100kph 125s then.
M.K.

 

You think *that* was condescending? Jeez you're sensitive

Right that most people can't be bothered in the thrill of being able to
ride a 125 without L plates, or some other random thing?

I could ask you the same thing.

If you really feel that you want to do a test as opposed to CBT alone, then
you go for it.

There is one *tiny* snag as far as I can tell. Until you've taken the
test, you can't legally ride the bike alone, with or without L plates. I
might well be wrong, but frankly, since I did DAS I don't really care
enough to check.

That you can't ride legally

Nope, sorry.

You should have done, because you're wrong.

Once you take the CBT you are entitled to ride a bike of up to 125cc and not
more than ~14hp on the roads, but you must display 'L' plates and you can
not carry a pillion or use motorways.

So, what the OP wants to do is take their CBT, ride around for a bit, take
their A test on their own bike and then use it, with the option to trade up
to a 33hp bike if they wish.

This seems perfectly sensible to me, but you've thrown the whole thing into
confusion by mentioning the A1 test which, frankly, you'd have to be mad to
go through.

Are we clear now?

As for the OP's original question ... if they pick up a copy of BiKE and
look at the model listings near the back all will be revealed.

I did "polite" at the beginning. The previous poster suggests I fork
out for two courses and two tests (plus the CBT, of course).
I already know what training+test I want to do, and so do those
learners presently invanely looking for some even vague list of "A"
test suitable 125s, which is what THIS thread is about.
The question remains: What 125s do you know are book capable of over
100kph, please?
I can wade through loads of specs myself, I just thought it would be
more useful and easier if people who already know just jot down a
bike or two, so everybody can read it.

M.K.

 

No, Old Providence Island, Colombia (nearer to Nicaragua actually).
Hardly the place where one could ride very fast, it only takes half an
hour to go right around the island, there are all sorts of "obstacles"
and it's to hot to wear a helmet. I bought a JinCheng 100 to get
about, which I sold for the same price I bought. Another problem on
the island was that "the" petrol station used to occasionally run out
of juice because, being part way between Colombia and the US, the
petrol got diverted to refuelling certain "fast boats" by people you
don't argue with (one of them, with 3x 200hp outboards, decided to
drop anchor at night only to find they had done so right in front of
the coastguard station...)
Fantastic place otherwise though, it has amongst the best diving reefs
in the world, cheap accomodation, few yanks and near constant perfect
weather.
The reason I want to get a full motorbike licence is so that I have at
least some kind of official looking paperwork on holiday because they
are not the best places to have legal problems. I have no great desire
to ride a motorbike in the UK though, too scary.

M.K.

 

Hehehe, thanks!
With above unasked for "help" I would now be paying for a sub 125
course and test plus a Direct Access course and second identical test
and not be buying any 125. Nor would I be going for an "A" licence,
which rather defeats the object of the whole palaver, since "A" is the
desired full licence in the first place....
M.K.

 

So do it.

........ if you got someone to do it for you.

Oh for *christ's* sake. I only asked why you wanted to do it that way, and
suggested an alternative (which is sitll IMO more sensible)
