Motorcycle license - 10 Yamaha models for A2 license holders - Used YAMAHA

On January 19, 2013, the new A2 motorcycle license will only give access to certain models. Here is the list of new Yamaha 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 main novelty is the creation of an intermediate category called A2 (between the A1 125 cc license and the A license). 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 Yamaha, ten new models meet the standards of this new A2 category that young bikers will have to attend for two years, before passing if they wish the training of the "real" license A. Site lists them..
