Kinda depends on what license you have right now, how long you have it etc.

have it 2 months A license

AgileMyth

You need to have it 6 months minimum. Bike needs to be over 175cc I think.

Any bike you ride should be restricted to 33bhp or 25Kw for the next 22 months. Unless you had your provisional/permit from back in the late ninety's.

They'll only recognise licences going back 5 years

To get your full licence you need to pass your test!

Hold onto the Varadero until you've got a good bit more experience under your belt. Great little bike, they'll take the abuse that a learner will dish out and they handle like a slightly bigger bike.

Give it about a year and then either switch to a bigger bike or take the A test using a rented bike. ISM used to rent bikes for the test, dunno if they still do. In any case it was a GN250, which is a physically smaller and simpler bike than the Varadero and I found I'd no problems switching between the two on test day.

Once you have your full licence then you can look at a bigger bike and lower insurance.

If have held and renewed a provisional license from the late ninetys it holds no restriction.

what bhp does the zzr have 250 and 400 ?

once your on a restricted bike you'd be grand i wouldn't worry about the amount of experience you have, it's a long story but passed my test first time with very little experience and on a schools 250, then with my full licence bought a restricted 400 and except from dropping it once as i was putting up the centre stand i have had no issues with it.
