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.

Thank you!

I don't really know about other bikes as I learnt to ride on a Kawa Z650 and neutral was pretty easy there as well.
But yeah, it's pretty easy to get into neutral.

Oh don't worry! I will never go ride without my gear.

And thank you!

It is generally standardised across Europe as far as I know, although the age limits can differ across countries.
No idea when this was introduced as I never really looked into it. And I don't really know why they chose 35kw either, but they had to draw the line somewhere, I suppose. :)

Yeah, the way it works around here is that every licence is age-limited. So you can get an A1 at 18, which allows you to ride a 125. A2 at 20, which allows you to ride up to 35kw I believe, and full A at 24 (or 22, and owner of an A2 licence for 2 years).

I'm not American though. I'm from Belgium, but I'm 35 so I immediately went for my full A licence which allows me to ride any motorcycle.

[–] ChrisFhey@kbin.social 5 points 2 years ago

Ah, I see. I did take classes though. Those are mandatory in Belgium.
We're only limited by your age. I'm 35, so I was allowed to go for my full A licence from the get-go.
I learnt to ride on the school's Z650.

Cheers! I'm quite happy with it.

It's a Kawasaki ER-6n from 2015. I'm quite enjoying it so far, for as long as the good weather lasts.

I am thoroughly impressed.
