Not really as the current system is only based on age. So if your 24 you can pass your test one day and then go out and jump on any 200+bhp bike the next. But if you are 23 then youd have to wait a year and take a retest... it's a shit system.
Not quite. Age defines when you can jump straight on and take a test at that level but the limits are still there should you want to take the A1 or A2 test instead of the full A test once you are over 24. BTW, turn up on a 125 to take your test when you are 30+ and you will be stuck on a 125 after you pass too :pokefun

Yeah "if you want to", realistically who is going to turn up and do a test on a restricted bike if they dont have to? Maybe the odd scooter rider but other than that it isnt going to happen.
I took my test under these rules at the age of 25 and the option of a restricted test was never even mentioned.
Only person I've ever known of taking a restricted test when they didn't need to was a poor short girl that took hers the same day as me who unfortunately wasn't tell enough to ride the er6 so had to take her test on a 500cc cruiser that was available. And again she really didn't want to but that's the only choice she had at the time due to her training school being under equipped.
Another friend of mine passed around 5 months ago at the age of 23, restricted to 47bhp, has had an er6 since. He turned 24 last week, passed his full test and has just bought a Honda Cbr1000rr ??
I'll be lucky if I see him again in one piece ?
