Think the 33 bhp restriction is bad? Wait until the 3rd Driving Licence Directive comes in to force in 2013, there will then be 2 levels of restriction before you can ride an 'unlimited' bike and DAS will only be avaiable to those over 24. It's costing £millions to bring in and even the DfT admit that most riders will just avoid it by waiting and doing DAS...
Is there any truth in that?
That's just what the motorcycling industry needs. Yet D1ckh34ds with plenty of cash can buy whatever car they want at 17... hardly seems fair...
