    Just wondering if anyone knows does a bandit 600 have to be restricted with a full A2 licence?

    Thanks in advance

    From a cursory look, you're looking at approx 57kw and around 205kg depending on the year which will give you a power/ weight of around 0.27kw/kg all of which means it exceeds the full A2 restrictions. So yes, a factory full power bike would need to be restricted.

    Thanks for the reply...looking at a 98 bandit.

    Of course you could ride an unrestricted Bandit on a learner cat A permit if you're over 24 (or if you're under 24 but have held your full A2 for two years or more)
