Still confused?????
So can I get my Fazer restricted for my son? How or where can I get an official definitive answer?? If the Fazer is no good then I need to find out what his options are and think about just keeping the fazer for me. Not that I have a problem with that its just going to cost me!!! as sons always do. lol

Looks promising, but who do you believe, Yamaha or the government guidelines?
Easiest way for sure would be to ask an insurance company I s'pose, because there'd be no point in taking a chance with the Yamaha guideline then finding out nobody will touch you with insurance!
My guess is they'll sway with the government rules.

Insurance companies don't ask what type of license you have its either provisional or full and I would assume A2 falls under full.

Also as long as young drewblez keeps a certificate something looking official under the seat saying restricted to 47 ponies in the unlikely event he was to get pulled it would see most off and unless plod had a rolling road up his ass he wouldn't be able to tell either way.

OP do it.

Agreed. You can buy restrictor kits and get it restricted with a certificate, and the insurance companies likely won't ask. Was the same issue on the hornet forum, that technically puts out 95hp so is literally just over the maximum but a lot of people have had it restricted anyway and had no issues

Plus on the above link Yamaha quote it at 93hp anyway so you're sorted!

I would be more concerned about the insurers using any means possible as an excuse not to pay out, rather than be worried about the police.
But yeah I agree, keep a laminated copy of the Yamaha document handy and go for it.

According to the DVSA list of motorcycles in the link that darrsi posted earlier it seems quite clear to me that the FZS600 Fazer has been recognized by them as category A.

So going off that one could ride a street triple 675 restricted obviously on an A2?

Fact of it is it's one big mess and no one including the sour faced maggots who implemented and mindless drones who enforce don't understand the new rulez.

My advice would be ride what you want but don't take the piss a fireblade obviously isn't A2 legal. 

[darrsi]

It's a shame 'cos if you dyno'd it there's probably a 95% chance the bhp will be well under the limit, so it's all a bit daft for the sake of 1bhp based on a brand new bike rather than one that is actually 17 years old.

it was legal two years ago, but not anymore very borderline but to the letter of the law it will be illegal.

Why is the Triumph Street Triple 675 (restricted) is on the DVSA list as an A2?. According to all the spec's I've just looked at it's got more BHP as standard than an FZS 600 :rolleyes.
