What the petition asks
New motorcyclists from aged 17 are forced to ride up to a 125cc and have a maximum power output of 11kw. This is very low and can be unsafe, similar to mopeds as they're normally restricted to 28 MPH.
This limit has been proven unsafe in many circumstances and should be reconsidered.

Although the jump in power might seem ridiculous upon first viewing, but perhaps the government should look at how other countries treat new motorcyclists; along with additional training and theory.
We deserve more freedom and you can learn a lot more with the extra power, making it safer for riders and for them to gain advanced skills at an early stage.
We need more variation upon the market.
