Re: Licencing in the Netherlands

On the other hand, when I was a young-un in Australia, a 16 year old was able to get a learners permit and ride a Kawasaki Z1. Quite a few were buried before their 17th birthday. Having said that, using BHP might be a better way to go than engine displacement as a limit for younger riders.

More importantly, availability of good quality mandatory training courses is an even better option.

Re: Licencing in the Netherlands

I agree Cas...I wouldn't propose removing limits..Only modifying them to make them more logical and to bring into the frame some larger, lower powered machines that would then become eligible for 'learner use'

My belief is a decent course early on followed by road miles on a low/moderate powered bike is the sensible option...

You really learn about handling, road surface conditions in various weathers etc. etc. by racking up the road miles...Ian
