Motorcycle license - 10 Kawasaki motorcycles for A2 license holders - KAWASAKI Occasions

On January 19, 2013, the new A2 motorcycle license will only give access to certain models. Here is the list of new Kawasaki corresponding to the A2 motorcycle category: no more than 35 kW and a power / weight ratio of less than 0.2 kW / kg.

January 19, 2013 marks a turning point in the history of the motorcycle license: as part of European harmonization, the A license undergoes changes that Site readers – who, as everyone knows, are a little more fortunate than others – already know by heart (read).

The creation of an intermediate category called A2 (between the A1 125 cc license and the A license) is the main novelty. It is "motorcycles with or without sidecar of a power not exceeding 35 kilowatts and whose power / weight ratio does not exceed 0.2 kilowatt per kilogram. Power cannot result from restraining a vehicle developing more than twice its power".

At Kawasaki, ten new models meet the standards of this new A2 category that young motorcyclists will have to attend for two years, before passing if they wish the training of the "real" license A. Site lists it for you.

The cost of clamping / unclamping

Site asked Kawasaki France to estimate the possible cost of clamping and unlocking.

"The Z800 e version and ER-6 are restricted in two points: limitation of the opening angle of the throttles and "shunt" (modification of the ECU map). On the Z800 th version, the cost of modifying the 35kW version amounts to € 23.96 incl. Tax for the part kit, to which must be added two hours of labor. On the ER-6, the part kit costs € 17.77 including tax and it takes around 0.6 hours of labor".
