Any accurate, first hand, recent knowledge of the fine (and particularly the number of demerits) issued for riding a m/cycle with engine larger than 660cc (and with no 'lams' exemption), assuming no other law is being broken at same time.-Thanks in advance for any accurate answers.

35 Demerits for riding outside the conditions of your licence.

Not sure about fines or extention to period these days.

What are you planning on riding as you can apply for an exemption.

Cheers guys, im considering taking the risk now and then on an 80's shovelhead 1340cc harley-davidson it's all original condition and standard and is a bit under the 150kw/1000kg but i asked them and they told me they won't give an exemption (i think due to sheer engine capacity). It's a real bummer as i was gonna be able to get full licence in march 2013 if i did course but due to changes in october it's now gonna be june 2014:-(

BUy it and don't ride it.
Last time I got done riding outside licence conditions it was 35 demerits and somewhere around $400 fine. almost a set of tyres for the bike!

Can you still get time of your licence by doing a defensive driving course!

Put a "500cc" sticker on the side of it.
