New bike license laws 2003?

**LaughingTiger** · 09-17-2002, 10:03 AM

I'm not sure if it's confermed, but I heard that in Alberta after
2003 hits, after you get your bike license you have to ride
a 300cc bike for 3-6 months before upgrading to a 600cc +.

That would be a reason for me to grab my license before
snow fall , just ot have it for the future.

Does any body know anything about this?

Where did you hear this from?

**LaughingTiger** · 09-17-2002, 02:59 PM

My friend just got his bike license, and he said that's what the
instructor told him....

Instructors are dumbasses. I could have aced my motorcycle test, but I was told to do one thing by my instructor when they were totally wrong.

Doesn't affect me, got my class 6 5 years ago

I hope it happens, but I think the cutoff suggested was 400cc.. Have you guys ever seen the INCREDIBLE 400cc sportbikes you can get overseas?? they're amazing!

I think if we start to get a graduated licence system here we'll get some of the cooler small-displacement bikes coming here. I'd buy a NC35 honda (mini RC45) anytime!

To be honest, I've been riding a long long time and I'm tired of people buying Hayabusas for there first bike saying that everything else is too small.. a 600 these days would WASTE GSXR1100's of 10 years ago. a 600 sportbike is NOT a starter/beginner bike these days.

I heard the cutoff was a 250...

A buddy of mine is thinking of buying a bike next Summer, and wants to get a newer CBR600 as is first Bike!

, he thinks anyting lower he wouldnt like, I keep telling him I dont own a black suit!!!

When a bike's got as much horse power as a car, you had better
bring out the black suit...

i emailed alberta gov't about the new laws and this was their reply:

Thank you for your inquiry.

We suggest you visit the Alberta Transportation,
Saferoads website for information on proposed changes to classifications of
class of licences at
www.saferoads.com

I browsed the site and it doesn't suggest anything about limiting the size motorcyles for new riders.

Looks like there's new changes to the probationary period for class 5 and 7 licenses

Good...! I hope they don't change it... I thought to be more safe then sorry... I heard from so many people

.. But reciently
my bike testor said they were going to move it to sept. 2003

who knows...I just want a bike in spring...I would hate to not be able to get the one I want.... Thanks for checking...

**RiCE-DaDDy** · 10-22-2002, 06:08 PM

actually its a good idea, sportbike riding is getting filled with dumb riders that go out and buy R1 as their first bike, but the only bad thing is the extra money spent changing bikes, but I agree with the idea that new riders should start on something smaller.

**gpomp** · 10-22-2002, 06:24 PM

Taking a 600cc bike up to 6000rpm is already more than enough to beat almost every car on the street and anything above 10000 is crazy fast, or so I've heard...

**RiCE-DaDDy** · 10-23-2002, 04:53 PM

well u had first hand experience didnt u??

**kevie88** · 10-23-2002, 05:20 PM

I have! and he's right..

**sml** · 10-23-2002, 11:48 PM

let's just say that when you race a car, you NEED to shift at redline... but in a bike, you can KILL even if you shift at HALF of redline!!! Mind you half of redline is around 7k...

**RiCE-DaDDy** · 10-29-2002, 11:56 PM

only on 600cc and down, still 11k rpm is crazy

**RickDaTuner** · 11-05-2002, 04:04 AM

geebus that sucks if it come out to be true i wanted to get a R6 next spring butit looks like thats not gonna happen, i htink some people go straight for the 600c because even though bikes are cheap some people can only afford one,...well that how i see it anyway
