I guess it's just Ls = you haven't passed the licence exam yet

I had one of these

[dezz]

My mate said his course/license cost him $280..I'm assuming that gets him his L's?

If that's the case, what do you do to get your P's?

And yes, I could google this, but this is easier

[CrispyFries]

haha - about the same again I think, I never got that far

[JEPPE]

Usually there's a three day course for l's and a two day course for p's. Both about $250. They are very similar tests and I don't think many people would have trouble on either. I suspect the reason why they have this structure is perhaps because of how it was formed in the past (could have had a bigger difference in restrictions, also the fact that you used to be able to get your bike license before you were 18 would mean you couldn't go straight into p's) and the fact that cars have two stages as well (you can get this license without a car license where as for truck I believe you require a car license therefore the stages are done differently)

Quite simple to complete, if you can get it done then it's done forever

For the man that wants a FAST 250!

[dezz]

Was just looking on the site of the company my mate did it at, 'Stay up right'.

For L's they do a 6 or 12 hour course, 12 hour reccomended for people like me that have no previous experience..

Haven't really spoken to him in detail, but I think he said he paid ~$280, which was more expensive coz he did it on a weekend, so $250 sounds about right...

They look alright, expensive compared to the ninjas though..

Quick look on bikesales, ~$2k more for a 5 year older model

They aren't legal cos it exceeds power to weight ratio or I'm missing something?

[JEPPE]

Yes. LAMS means that it's based on power/weight ratio hence why an SV650 is acceptable on you L's and P's but an RSV250 isn't.

Two strokes are fun bikes but are quickly going out of fashion because there is no longer a class in MotoGP and now the same for 125's (Replaced with Moto3 four stroke 250's). Basically due to polution so lame.

[Count Grantleyish]

So 2 strokes are better than 4 stroke?

[dezz]

Know much about the Ninjas?

Good/bad?

Get a car

[Birds]

and what's the difference with L's and P's?

Passenger restrictions?

No difference, but P plate is the start of your 1 year probation before you can get a faster bike, so I guess they're testing if you're worthy of a bigger bike and then making you wait a year of practicing for it. They also teach and test you a couple advanced techniques.

I was on my Ls for 3 years just cause I couldn't be f**ked going for Ps to start the probation lol.
