The Best Bikes for A2 Licenses
If you’re reading this, you’ve probably done your CBT and want to make your next steps towards a full license, but you’re stuck in purgatory until you’ve hit 24. We can help to curb your hunger for adrenaline in the meantime. Read on to discover the best motorcycles you can jump on with an A2 license.
You probably already know this, but the A2 license means you can legally ride bikes up to 47bhp. If you’re eyeing up something a little bigger, more power to you (literally)! But don’t forget to restrict it to be within the legal limits while you’re waiting to take your A1 test.
We’d like to think we’ve got a pretty good feel of the bikes out there over the years, so here’s our super 7.
