Someone already posted on the thread that they were asked for a restiction Cert for the Bros so that proves my point.
I think it's a load of **** arguing the learner legal staus of a Bros myself but I'd like to be given the facts as opposed to annecdotes like "some dude on the phone said"... that's bad info..leave it out! man0 -

it wasnt on the phone it was in their building in blanch that said they want a restrictoe cert before they insure me..i understand what ya mean,in that it doesnt really need to be restricted,but im guessing they want a restrictor from me because its a big bike(big for someone my age) and because im only 18.If you don't know what your talking about don't post!! ohh man

i checked their site and its like 170£ for the honda bros:eek:which is mad money for something that slows down your bike and gives you a piece of paper..are the washers like specially made or could i find a pair of washers that could work?..i have everything i need for biking,the gear and all that..i have the money for the bike,the insurance and tax..200-250€ just seems a little steep for washers and a piece of paper:p
It's a standard price, afaik. I think I paid €280 to restrict my Blackbird last year.
This is what they look like. Obviously, the Bros only needs two.
They're stuck into the inlets so the amount of air the engine inhales is reduced. Less air= less power. They're nothing special about them at all except the outside diameter and the diameter of the new hole.
Presumably, it's probably the testing they have to participate in that demands the premium. Restrictors -£10. Knowing how to restrict the bike and certifying it accordingly - £160.0 -

I didn't even get a washer on my Z750, all I got was 50mm of metal on the throttle body for £200. But as Cantdecide says, you aren't paying for the metal you're paying for the knowledge and cert.
Why are you ignoring all the sites that say a Bros is 37bhp, which is what Honda claimed at launch, and posting the one that agrees with you. Unfortunately the power restriction is on the crank, which is where manufactures always give their power figures from, so reading 33bhp or 31bhp at the back wheel puts you over the limit.
well quinn may have issue with 18 (which is wrong anyway) still I think would be no harm getting this in writing to see how they justify restrictor requirement for a bike that is 31bhp according to one of biggest UK motorcycle sites...i just wouldnt give up quickly cause some dude said so
or just go to nice girl and try again
dont get me wrong....i just dont have time for insurers and hate to see people having difficulties getting onto 2 wheels specially for something stupid like power restriction on bros. all nt400 fans i know are insured with quinn some got letter asking for restrictor but they just said ...its learner legal
in terms of restrictors:
i cant recommend this guy enough http://www.poleonmotorcycles.com/ bit out of the way but worth it
BTW I dislike insurance companies and the sh!te they put people through. But the OP is a young fella looking to get insured on a big(ish) bike and paying out a large wad of cash for the pleasure. I've heard too many bad stories about Quinn, not that the others are any better, not paying out or cancelling policies for the stupidest reasons I don't want the OP to only have Garda insurance.
As I've said before the insurance company will always take your money, but they'll do their best not pay out if needed and unless the OP gets it in writing that they'll except the restriction fitted they could have issues when making a claim.
And again. It doesn't mater if they insure you on a bike, if they find out when you make a claim that you aren't licensed to ride it they won't pay out any Comp cover and you could be sued for 3rd party damages.
OP,have you looked at any of the factory restricted bikes? They may be in a lower class then the Bros and so be cheaper and easier to insure.0 -
