Re: Riding Abroad Queries
When you ask this type of question you need to explain a few things before we all go off searching for answers.
What country
How old are you
Engine size
HP
Maximum speeds according to the manufacturer.
The reason you need those things is because even though we are all in the EU, each country have different criteria as to how they work out what you can ride. Denmark uses all of the above.
It is a very Grey area and it would be nice to get it sorted so we all know. But if you ask official bodies they will say No. Even if they have no idea what they are saying no to.
The best people to ask are the policemen in the countries concerned. The law books may say one thing but it may be such a pain to police that the guys on the ground turn a blind eye.
So maybe if we have someone in France they could ask.

Re: Riding Abroad Queries
Hi Steve, Having been pulled by UK police for 'Illegally riding a 90cc bike on a motorway' trust me when I say the police, are the last that will know the intricacies of the motorcycle test requirements.
The best source of information are Motorcycle and scooter hire places. It's what they do, day in day out and they of all people need to know the licence requirements so they don't fall foul of the law.
Further, they need to understand licensing in other countries in order to deal with foreign clients.
