There are some interesting folk out there
Via the joys of the internet I have talked to and then met some really interesting aging odd balls, a couple of Goth rockers and most recently an American who wanted to visit the UK to recreate a photo they had of their Dad, who was a biker in Bristol in the sixties. It was really cool, I turned up with my motorbike for the photo all alone in Bristol, slighly worried that I was about to be kidnapped by Somali Pirates and sold as awhite slavegirl, but it was fine.
Sometimes you just got to have faith in people. Turns out he is a B3tard too. See Ya Rich, hope the photo came out great!

Had he told me he was a B3tard first, I am not sure I would have gone, after all, some of you are frankly rather scary!

Forgive the dullard question,
but what bike do you have?

Awww, it is never a dullard question
I have a modified Suzuki SV650 that I am slowly turning into a Streetfighter. Next year will see a new ECU and exhaust for increased power, damn this 33BHP restriction.

Are they electrically restricted?
Or are they restricted to 33bhp by air intake and exhaust restrictors?

Or is it your license that restricts you? If so you could always wait and then get a beast. :-D

The ECU restricts the power output
This is the joy of taking your UK Bike Test on a 125cc bike, two years riding a bike with no more that 33BHP (25KW in new money).

Luckily my two years is nearly up and I shall soon be able to put the full power ECU back in place and then fit that nice growley exhaust, the hope is to get about 70BHP out of her, not bad for two pistons and a capacity of 645cc!

I have tried bikes with throttle stop/air box washer restrictions and frankly they are rather poor. Only being able to open a throttle by a third of a turn is hopeless, especially if like the Honda I am currently using for work, the fuel injection is so crude it jerks and surges down the road when ran at below 4k revs. Thankfully this heap goes back to the hire shop soon.

Hopefully your proper ECU brings much more fun. :)

And if I were you I'd stick with Suzukis, much more fun than Hondas and Yams in my opinion. I also envy you for your patience, I did my 125 test then got bored of waiting for two years and went back and did a direct access about two months later!
