Should I take Class 2?

[chiller]

HI people,

I have a newbie in this forum and would like to seek opinion here.

 

I wonder should I upgrade myself to class 2, as I am only 1.65m weigh only 60kg, is it possible to handle a class 2 bike? I would love to ride a 600cc sport bike.

 

Advise are welcome.

 

Thanks.

of coz u should! itz not bout the weight of yrself... I've seen smaller & bigger size ppl riding big bikes... it shouldn't be a prob for u also.. & most impt thing is that u have the passion for it... Go Go Go.. juz go take it~

[buttbutt8]

there are ladies who are smaller than you riding class 2 bikes. Somemore sportsbike are not exactly very heavy. Not like u want to ride Goldwing or other class 2 tourers.

[bernardk]

chiller bro my fren.. ARE YOU KIDDIN ME???? Go get your class 2 dude... You are missing alot here. Hahaha You will appreciate bike......

 

Dun worry abt size come on my fren... i have seen a 1.60 and prob only 50+kg riding a blackbird.... so wat do you think?

 

GO GET IT

[scoobydoo]

getting a class 2 license doesn't mean you have to ride a class 2 bike... many of us continue to ride 2A bikes

better to have it and not use it, than not to have it when you need it

 

i'm shorter than you and got thru... you should have no problem lah

[chiller]

Thanks guys for the encouragement. Shall go and register myself for class 2.

[Guest Eason]

Must Get Class 2 !!!!!!!!!!!

[BlackHonda]

Yes go and get...

When i took mine in 2000, i befriended a 50plus uncle

who wanted to get a Harley but got no class 2,

and he struggles to place down and lift up the bike

also pushing the figure "8".

 

So the moral of the story just get it even if u dun intend to ride big bike

[bernardk]

faster go enrol. The longer you wait the more numbers of days you gonna miss seating and riding on your next precious bike.

Did he make it?

 

I posted because I would like to hear graduates from class 2 whether for my size, is there a problem to handle the bike and pass the test.

 

Thanks.

Your size will have no problem at all. I am 56kg only. And I ride a 350 kg bike--STX. That is two 600cc sport bike weight!

 

There are many riders of Class 2 that are really small in size. In the Moto-V group, there are a bunch of class2 ladies.They are all pretty petite. If they can do it, how can you not?!

In fact, you are over-powered!!!

 

Yes, in Class 2 there is a station that asks you to do manual handling of a class2 bike. It may seem intimidating to smaller people. But that's the whole point of Class 2. Think of it as training lessons rather than a test without prior training. It is to teach you techniques that are efficient so that you can push your Class 2 bike around and bring your bike up, in case it topples.

 

If you are thinking of using brute force, than of course you will feel intimidated. But that is the wrong thinking. Even a far taller and heavier person will have problem lifting up a small 600cc sportbike (because they still weigh twice the person's weight) without proper techniques. The Class 2 will teach you the proper techniques and you can confidently raise a toppled bike, put to and off main stand, push the bike around. If one can ride a Class 2 bike without taking class 2 lessons, would you rather practise raising/pushing your own precious 600cc sportbike or the test center's *drop all you can* bike:cheeky:

 

There is a website somewhere that has a lady explaining her techniques to raise a downed big bike. I forgot the url.Someone can post the link here. I emphasize again, it is all technique, not brute force. You go, you will learn the technique (and I have never know of anyone who takes class2 and don't pass, except those who half-way quit on their own reasons). On the other hand, it is pretty fine to stay on a 400cc bike. Your choice.

Ya also a good point. Just like car licence... No money buy car doesnt mean dont need get licence. Wait skali wind fall leh or lucky draw kana car leh rite. get the licence and mabbe one day the bike that you want have a good deal on SBF then you can buy on the spot.

 

But like wat another forumer says its pure technic in handling. At first i dun believe but now after owning it long enough i finally understand.

[DaN zI]

yup definitely is technic . last time ride SP , find it too heavyt for me . now RVF , is somehow heavier den R6 etc . cos of the weigh ratio i guess . but i still managed to handle it like my TOY ! so i believe cl2 for me can ? hope so

[racingter]

some small built ladies are able to lift up a class 2 bikes and waLK AWAY with a figure 8..i dont see why guys cant do it?

[Naked1]

Go ahead for your class 2! You will have more bikes to choose.
