The good stuff starts when you open the garage door: it’s a handsome machine, and the dual high-mount silencers look ace, especially if you enjoy that classic 1960s scrambling vibe. The numbers don’t do the little Triumph justice though. It weighs just over 200kg, so is no lightweight, but again that helps with the A2 eligibility. That’s not a big chunk of grunt though, and it doesn’t affect the character of the Street Scrambler too much. The motor makes 64bhp as standard, so needs 17bhp lopped off to make it legit. It’s essentially the low-power Triumph Bonneville 900cc parallel twin engine, in a retro-styled scrambler chassis, with some neat little design and chassis touches. We really liked this little beastie when we tested the 2018 version. Those are the rules then – and here’s our top ten pick of the bunch in terms of restricted-power A2 bikes… Triumph Street Scrambler Still struggling? Check out our dedicated guide to motorcycle licences. The original bike must make no more than around 94bhp, and there’s also a power/weight restriction – so your plans to hoon about on a 47bhp/100kg 450 MX bike with lights are sadly moot… The bike can only have its power cut by 50 per cent from stock, so you can’t get an A2-compliant BMW S1000RR, say. There are still some limits on what you can restrict. This is obviously the quicker and easier way to restrict and de-restrict the bike, but is only available on a selection of newer bikes.

On more modern bikes, with a ‘ride-by-wire’ or dual-valve throttle bodies, the ECU’s software ‘map’ is replaced with a restricted version, meaning the computer will only open the throttle far enough to make 47bhp and no more. Both these methods reduce the maximum amount of airflow into the engine, which limits the power it can produce. That can be done in a few ways – via a mechanical restrictor on the throttle valve on older bikes, stopping it opening fully, or by mounting plates with a small opening in the inlet ports. But there’s another option open to you, which is to pick up a bike which makes more than 47bhp as standard – but then have the power output restricted to the statutory level.īut what if the bike I want is over 47bhp? Last time we took a look at the best A2-compliant bikes which produce less than 47bhp (35kW) as standard and there were some corkers there to be sure. Some motorbikes can roll straight out of the factory forecourt to fit the bill but you may find other models that can be restricted.
This time, we’re looking at the best A2 machines which need a power restriction to comply. Don’t forget to get a bike insurance quote with us too. Passed your bike test? Yay! Well done you! Now get your chops round this awesome selection of hot A2-legal bikes.
