FZS 600 is only suitable for A, not A2
The problem is, that the law is European. In Europe, they use kilowatts (Kw) as a unit of engine power. In the U.K., we use brake horsepower (bhp). Like all E.U. laws, it's a fudge, so we have to convert their figures to approximate with ours. 70Kw is equivalent to 93.8bhp but the FZS-600 has 95bhp (as quoted by sites like MCN), which is equivalent to 70.87Kw. That puts it outside the legal range for being restricted for an A2 licence. Yes, being just 0.87Kw too much is petty, but like I said, it's a European law so petty is pretty much standard...
