Can you ride the Buell M2 Cyclone on an A2 licence?
Yes, you can ride the Buell M2 Cyclone (1997 - 2002) on an A2 motorbike licence. However, you will need to fit a restrictor kit to reduce its power output and make it A2 licence compliant!
Buell M2 Cyclone (1997 - 2002)
The Buell M2 Cyclone is a stylish old-school cafe racer with an outdated engine and poor fuel economy. Despite its massive tank, it fails to provide a good tank range on long rides.
On the other hand, the bike is reliable and the build quality is excellent. It handles really well, the brakes are decent and the seat is pretty comfortable.
The Buell M2 Cyclone is a very unique motorcycle that might not be for everyone, but it clearly has its own charm.
A2 Licence Compliance
The Buell M2 Cyclone is a 1203cc A2-friendly standard bike. It has a power output of 69 kW (93 bhp), which exceeds the 35 kW (47 bhp) limit needed for an A2 licence. The bike has to be restricted by at least 49.2% to become A2 licence compliant.
You will need a restrictor to ride the Buell M2 Cyclone on an A2 motorbike licence. See the restrictor kits section to check out what restrictors are available for the Buell M2 Cyclone.
