DSA demonstrate they are up to speed!

[richfzs]

Quoted from Paddy Tyson at MAG....

The DSA have just released the bikes that they have approved as test suitable for the new licensing categories that come into force Jan 19th 2013.

Interestingly they state:

For machines not on this list or where an individual machine has been restricted to comply with the minimum
test vehicle requirements it will be accepted for test providing certified proof of compliance or restriction is
available for the examiner.

Unfortunately they haven't managed to include any bikes from those barely known manufacturers, HONDA and BMW, but as a way of proving how closely they keep their fingers on the pulse of motorcycling, you'll be delighted to know that a Brough Superior is an approved test vehicle....

See the whole list here:

I counted 14 BMW's on that list so Paddy Tyson is a fine one to talk, what a twat.

[richfzs]

Skippernick, they've amended the list since he emailed that to me yesterday, and since I checked it yesterday afternoon.

Not so quick to call somebody a twat, ya twat!

[richfzs]

Attached is the file as it was yesterday afternoon. And there still aren't Honda on the list. Do they really make nothing suitable?!?

[Skippernick]

Well in my defence the list i saw had BMW's on it so i was right based on the information at the time.
Secondly there STILL is a BMW on the list admitedly a C1.

[Skippernick]

Ahh wheres the edit button.

[richfzs]

Aye, a C1, and it says "Not suitable for test"  :rolleyes
