Jesus that's quite a first motorcycle. In the UK you have to ride a 125 until you pass an extra test. Although I suppose there are certain "intensive training programmes" where you can ride the school's bike until you get your A-license and then buy your own afterwards.
Haha I always love Europeans take on Americans first motorcycle!
Yeah I kind of get that. I honestly don't feel safe on a highway on something less then 400, especially in southwest America. You might be able to pull it off south east America considering how flat it is and highway speeds tend not to exceed 55mph.
To be fair, I wouldn't want to ride motorways here on a 125 either, although entirely legal and possible.
A 35kw bike might be okay though.
It's like 600cc so yeah that makes more sense now.
