Usually there's a three day course for l's and a two day course for p's. Both about $250. They are very similar tests and I don't think many people would have trouble on either. I suspect the reason why they have this structure is perhaps because of how it was formed in the past (could have had a bigger difference in restrictions, also the fact that you used to be able to get your bike license before you were 18 would mean you couldn't go straight into p's) and the fact that cars have two stages as well (you can get this license without a car license where as for truck I believe you require a car license therefore the stages are done differently)

Quite simple to complete, if you can get it done then it's done forever :)

Was just looking on the site of the company my mate did it at, 'Stay up right'.

For L's they do a 6 or 12 hour course, 12 hour reccomended for people like me that have no previous experience..

Haven't really spoken to him in detail, but I think he said he paid ~$280, which was more expensive coz he did it on a weekend, so $250 sounds about right...

They look alright, expensive compared to the ninjas though..

Quick look on bikesales, ~$2k more for a 5 year older model

They aren't legal cos it exceeds power to weight ratio or I'm missing something?

Yes. LAMS means that it's based on power/weight ratio hence why an SV650 is acceptable on you L's and P's but an RSV250 isn't.

Two strokes are fun bikes but are quickly going out of fashion because there is no longer a class in MotoGP and now the same for 125's (Replaced with Moto3 four stroke 250's). Basically due to polution :( so lame.

and what's the difference with L's and P's?

Passenger restrictions?

No difference, but P plate is the start of your 1 year probation before you can get a faster bike, so I guess they're testing if you're worthy of a bigger bike and then making you wait a year of practicing for it. They also teach and test you a couple advanced techniques.

I was on my Ls for 3 years just cause I couldn't be f**ked going for Ps to start the probation lol.

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
