The ER-6 still passes all them marks so I'm sure most bike schools will still be alright.Its the usual utterly pointless rule changes though, if anything they need to get rid of the stupid age system.... as if being 24 makes you any more qualified to ride a bigger faster bike!? I personally think the 47bhp limit should be enforced on ALL new riders regardless of age for a minimum of 2 years. No re-test bollocks either, just automatic upgrade to a full license, unless you have acquired speeding points then you should have to wait longer.It would give everybody the chance to actually learn to ride better on a machine that isnt outside their ability before they decide to jump on a 200bhp crotch rocket. I reckon it would save a fair amount of lives too

When I did mine in the dark ages, you took your test on a 125 (the 250 rule had just been changed) at 17 and went home to drag your z1000 out of the shed.No experience, straight onto the big boys.I am in favour of a graduated increase but not through forced testing. Darwin will sort out the wheat from the chaff.
