huh- here, once you have your MC endorsement you are good to go on anything - I rode for 2 years with just my learners permit - night time and w/passengers (both illegal) and then decided that I really should go the legal route - kinda would have been a stupid ticket to get.. all of it always on the same bike - only street bike I have ever owned..

Well, there's the "light" bike license which you can get at 16. Maximum 125cc, 11kW and 0,1kW/kg. That's roughly 14 hp and 0.061 hp/lbs.

Then there's the "medium" license. You need to be 18 to get it. Maximum 35 kW and maximum power-to-wight ratio of 0.2 kW/kg.

And then we have the "heavy" bike license which is everything above. You need to be 24 to get it or 22 if you've had the "medium" license for at least 2 years. When you take the test, you need to use a bike that weighs at least 175 kg (386lbs), has at least 50 kW power and has an engine displacement of at least 595 cc.

My bike is 749 cc, 75kW and 200 kg. Perfect. AND it's a nice bike.
