Comment on Show HN: Learner Approved Motorbikes

Comments

Great idea and a cause close to my heart (I ride a Kawasaki Versys 650 - http://www.learnerapproved.com/bikes/584).

My only gripe was that it's not clear what country this is for, and of course every country has different learner legal laws. I was only able to conclude it was Australia after reading about the founders.

I'd love to see this expanded to other countries, especially for EU countries with the new 4 tier motorcycle licensing (so glad I passed before they brought that in)

Thanks Matt.

I'd be super interested to know how other countries / jurisdictions specify what is learner approved. For us, I guess it would just mean a bigger dataset and potentially, more sophisticated mechanisms of filtering?

Cool bike btw :)

Cheers, I love that bike, it took me and my girlfriend on a 6 week tour of Europe, by far the best way to travel :)

The law regarding learning has changed twice in the UK (and Europe) since I passed, so I don't know all the details, but I think there's now two or three tests to take in stages, each on progressing you to a more powerful machine. Unless you're over 25, then you can do Direct Access and go straight to any bike.
