Ive just popped over to France for a few days I was surprised to see a number of blades, I come over reasonably regular given that my perents live here but it's never struck me before, I thought there was a 100 BHP limit on bikes here, I'm aware it's changing in 2016, are the France purchasing restricted blades an if so how is it done etc.
The limit was binned following an EU ruling/discussion. French 100bhp limit to be revoked - Motorcycle news: Industry - Visordown
Well I popped into a bike shop in pontivie this afternoon, they had a 2011 BMW RR 4000km for 10,999 euros which is pretty good, I asked if the bike was restricted to which they told me no, all new bikes are restricted to 100bhp and people amediately de-restrict, the language barrier stopped me from asking how but my question was answered. I asked if the gendarmes have a problem and they said how would they know? The law is 100 BHP but no one is bothered they de-restrict and the police don't care?
