It's a terrible idea. For one thing those laws are made by people who have zero understanding of motorcycles. They pull laws out of a hat to limit what motorcyclists can and can't do. Second, it's a slippery slope. First, they limit new riders to 125cc for 6 months. Then it's a year, then it's two years. Now they are proposing four years.

That means for probably more then 10% of your adult life, you are riding around a motorcycle that you find boring because the government forced you too.
