    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...

    Scrap the cap!
