License advice


Recommended Posts

Hiya guys


Loving my little 125 however im feeling the lack of power on the duel carriageways what would be the best option for me to advance, Das seems the obvious choice but im honestly not after something powerful just something that hits 70/80mph i would be happy (right?) could doing the smaller license let me have a bike capable of that? from what im able to gather i could do a smaller license on my own bike but would let me ride 125's with a bit more ommph?


The only thing putting me off the Das is expense as i read your looking at £400 quid ish each try? thats a lot of money to f**k up lol if i go for the smaller license on my own bike its a lot cheaper i read?


Its not something i will be doing for a good while yet i need a lot more experience on the road but Would be nice to know my options and start making plans


Cheers guys!

you can't get a 125 with more oomph


if you do any test it will likely cost you the same so if you are older than 24 you may as well do your DAS then be unrestricted :)

yeah im 33 so age not a prob


as for 125's i thought there was a slightly higher powerband to them my bad :).


So its gonna be a big fork out to get a bit more power. Can deal with that will just need to start saving , as i say not going to go for it for a good while yet im very green atm lol


Thanks for the info Stu

DAS isn't £400 a try, it's about £700-£800 all in if you pass first time. Then depending on the school and which test you may fail, a retest is around £100-£120 all in. If you don't do further training.
