    KH doesn't have injection.

    Its a while since I got my licence but at the time, you could ride a KH straight as is. Surely the standard KH will be under any current power limits for a 16 year old?

    Check it out before doing anything else.

    aah i think there mayb different laws, im from england u see i know this is an irish site but it looked like a good site with honest helpful people heres a couple of things i got from sites


    So you've just turned 16, got your provisional licence, taken your Compulsory Basic Training and are keen to get your hands on your first bike. As a 16 year old you'll be restricted to a moped with an engine no bigger than 50 cc and a maximum speed of 30 Mph (50 Kph). If you are 17+ and hold a full car licence, you will more than likely have full moped entitlement. This means you don't even need basic training. However, we think it is useful none the less and does allow you to ride a bike up to 125 cc as a learner


    KH125 12bhp

    so does this mean in order to ride a bike when im 16 i will have to buy a 50cc run around ? and if so do you guys have any good sites where i can get a 50cc old bike thats manual gearbox etc (i cant stand mopeds)

    If you're in the UK then you're stuffed until you're 17. In Ireland you can get an A1 (125cc) licence at 16, but the insurance makes it unaffordable for most people until they're 25 :mad:
