Having looked into this a bit more, I ended up emailing DVLA to get some clarity. When they deem fit to come back to me I will post the response up here.
For now though, I hope my son manages to pass his bike test before January as it will mean he gets to ride the medium power bikes before he is 19.
As he will get Category A after passing he would be limited to 25kW for 2 years but may get away with the new 35kW limit instead.
25kW = 33hp but no limit on what it is restricted from.
35kW = 47hp limited to 94hp before restricting meaning no Fazer 600 for him yet.
This will open up some more choice on the non-restricted bikes.
