That's the point being made in previous posts. Rather ****ty for those with 'legacy' LPs as they are.

One of the instructors will tell you for sure but I think you'll get a A2 LP.

You're options then for test would be to un-restrict the r6 and do the IBT and get your full A.

Or take the test on a diff bike that conforms to a2 test spec and drive your restricted r6 afterwards. (which i think is still ok?)

Thanks for reply,just really pissed off at the moment,licence expired on 18-01-13 but I'm still insured and taxed until the end of the year.
I did about 30 hours of lessons last summer with my instructor,does this count for anything,also 5 years driving bikes fully insured.
I failed the test in September as I was unprepared and had to organise a day off at short notice due to the RSA canceling the test 5 times previous due to weather.

Tell me about it

Herself has the same prob:

Restricted fazer600 to 25kw.

LP expired last year, got it renewed before jan 19th luckily. Went for test on Thurs past; told the fazer is too powerful originally (78 brake or so) to take the A2 test on.

Yet she was able to legally drive away from the test center and can drive for the reminder of her LP. On appeal she was given a a re-test but told she cannot take the fazer.

RE: the hours you did, unless you have a book or a cert saying you completed IBT hours, they don't count for **** I'd say

You and her are doubtful to be the only ones got in the middle of this; the RSA rules are rather unclear in fairness for those with existing LP before Dec 2010.

I understand what you're saying but the R6 is restricted,if that's the case there will be a lot of people forced to sell their bikes even though they have been riding perfectly legal for years.I will be renewing my licence on Tuesday so what will they give me in the new system and what would I be allowed ride?

As Roadskill said your best bet would be to apply for a unrestricted A learner permit but you will have to do the full IBT before you are legally allowed ride the r6

Or

Get an A2 learner permit which would restrict you to 35kw or 46hp but and this is the important part

---

the orginal bike cannot produce more than twice the restricted power. So the R6 wouldn't be legal as it produces more than 70kw as standard.

And I agree it is a complete kick in the nuts that after 5 years of riding that all of a sudden the bike becomes illegal over night through no fault of yours

Thanks for the advice,will renew on Tuesday and see what I get.

Just read through all this and i must say my head is numb from it

So if someone could just confirm.I am 34 years of age.I have never done IBT,as I got my restricted category A learner permit in October 2009.If I go to the tax office,I can get an unrestricted category A learner permit.
I then go do my test on a Bandit 600,which is 599cc and 58kw approx.
If I pass I get a full unrestricted category A licence?
According to Q13(b) in the RSA info this seems to be the case.

Thanks all

You must do the full ibt (18hrs) if you go for the new A LP. when you take you rest it must be on a bike over 595cc and st least 40kw power. After November this will increase to over 50kw & <180KG.

If I stay on my existing old paper restricted licence,would I get away with doing the IBT part 5 and then doing my test? I cant really afford to do the whole IBT,all this cost really puts off people getting on a bike at all doesnt it

Short answer is no. There are no more paper permits being issued as of 19th Jan but you could go for the A2 restricted to 35kw without needing ibt.
