    Yep, and you'll only be able to ride 4stroke 125s, 2strokers excede the power to weight ratio.

    theres no wishy-washy power to weight ratio clause on the A1..!

    A1 learner permit restricts you to 125cc, and a power output of 14.5bhp - a restricted(!) NSR125 is 12hp iirc

    What's the problem? The A1 restrictions here are the same as the rest of the EU.

    Not that power restrictions make sense anyway...

    In Cavan there was a great fire / Judge McCarthy was sent to inquire / It would be a shame / If the nuns were to blame / So it had to be caused by a wire.
