Motorbike license

[Karim]

Hello,

I have an international driving license wich allowed me to drive motorbike until 125 CC. Do i can have/pass a motorbike license here to drive bigger bike ? Or police don't care about the CC if you have an inernational license ?

Thanks !

Karim

 

[gilbert de jong]

the police won't care...with or without an international license (permit)

Is that because either way you will have to pay the police:miserable: or you can ride on a larger cc. I think I know the answer but just wanted to check

 

[gilbert de jong]

hahaha...you can ride on a larger CC bike, well one can try...difference between 125cc and let's say 600cc is pretty noticeable, not only in weight of the bike but also the power
on the throttle. Anyways most police-officers can't tell from an international license what the driver exactly is allowed to drive...so chances are they will just let you pass.
If he needs money, he will find something else to nego 'uang rokok'..something else can be..anything realy.
The plus of a bigger CC bike is, for sure you can outrun any policebike...
unless you get this one behind you....
just joking :icon_wink:

If you have a International license, you would have a stamp on the motor bike license line, so has someone written in that you can only ride up to 125cc?
In Australia if you have a motor bike license, learners permit you must ride under 250cc, then you get your open license for all bikes.
When I was pulled over by police, if you pull out your international license they just say go (I have been lucky never paid police):icon_biggrin:

 

[gilbert de jong]

have you ever met a police guy who could actually read english? :highly_amused:

Sorry, but this isn't correct.

 

[gilbert de jong]

I have no idea about Aussie, but back in NL there are two licenses...first one is upto 25KW, and the other for everything above 25KW

 

[Fred2]

Sorry, but this isn't correct.

So what are the rules now?
I have a open motorbike license since 1976 & when I used to have a international license they just stamped all as i have complete license , there was no CC on the license?

The rules on learners for motorcycles appears to vary a bit from state to state. For SA and VIC at least, you can ride an approved one in the list up to 660cc, and most under 250 are approved (the list appears identical).

I don't reckon the indo coppers would have a problem, but if you got into an accident on a bike to high powered for your licence, your travel insurance might get cranky. But from looking at the list, and seeing the bike my mate drives on his learners (its freaking BIG, but he does weigh about 350lbs), I suspect there are not to many bikes avail in bali that would be deemed as too big. Approved motorcycles for novice riders : VicRoads

So if you get your International drivers license/motor bike license were dose it say the number of CC

Tiggy if you see a VIC plate, keep well clear because they can't drive. I did here they going to fence Victoria off as tooooo many were trying to get out.
Thats all Australia needs is more Victorians

you can have a 'bigbike' (400cc and more) on Bali with a right BPKB..
the bike may not be older then 8 years, and ofcourse needs to have the BPKB and valid STNK. then pull the paperwork from the samsat where the bike is
registered now, and bring the paperwork to you closest samsat on Bali...pay X amount for pulling the papers, then pay X amount for registering it on Bali, on top of that although the tax for the year has already been paid at the previous samsat, you would have to pay the tax again for that year in Bali.
conclusion for many Balinese who have bigbikes...why bother? If you can tell me a good reason to do so, please tell me...

as for a Bandit on DK plates, assuming you mean the 400cc one...there is no 2003 or younger Bandit.

Gilbert , what's up with the 8 yr. aspect of this ?
Is this for moving and registering a "big bike" from off island ?
Just curious Thanks ...

hahaha thanks for the giggle! I reckon vic drivers are better than the banana benders (holy slow batman!!) and anyone that lives in Sydney (warp speed, brakes only to used at full force at the last possible second). Sydney drivers scare the crap outta me!!

 

[gilbert de jong]

@mastercaster..
I have no idea how they came up with 8 years, and not 6 or 10 years...but the point is they (bali samsat) will not register anything older then 8 years onto a DK plate.
Tax-wise bigbikes fall under the same 'flag' as cars, meaning treated the same..

Older cars are cheaper in JKT/Bandung/Surabaya etcetc..so to prevent dealers and the likes to 'import' cheaper cars, and then putting them
on DK plates and sell them again for more (ofcourse after turning back the mileage)..and by doing so overflowing Bali with more and more cars....
That's why sometimes looking at adds, they write 'asli Bali or asli DK'..
hope that clears it up a bit :icon_wink:

Loud, noisy bikes NEVER sound sexy! They ought to be illegal or make it mandatory for muffler silencers for big bikes.

There's already too much noise on the roads here!

I can relate to that... I'm from Sydney, Tiggy and it's the only place I really feel comfortable driving. Nobody dawdles, checks out the scenery, wastes time. We just get where we're going... fast! :highly_amused:
