His mom had a stroke when she heard it.

Re: Should Super License be mandatory for bikes more than 500cc+

there should be a different license for such high capacity motorcycles.
But being responsible cannot be taught neither will the hot blood youth will be willing to listen.

Re: Should Super License be mandatory for bikes more than 500cc+

I would support the move. Also the process of issuing licenses should be made more stringent

Re: Should Super License be mandatory for bikes more than 500cc+

I too heard an accident here in Chennai, where a guy who was driving his R1 at break-neck speed in a crowded street, hit a parked car and was throw of the bike and broke his back and paralysed for life. Bike is in pieces.

Definitely a Super-License has to be introduced, may not be only for 500cc+ , but also BHP vehicles which our roads are not capable of handling it.

Re: Should Super License be mandatory for bikes more than 500cc+

For now, lets hope the current licensing process is ammended. It's been destroyed and abused to the core. Category wise licensing in India will only be successfull when a fool-proof, non-aulterable method is obtained to provide licensing. Otherwise, the pimps wil only ask for more money for higher category licenses. that's it.

First lets have clean, big RTO offices with sensible employees and infrastructure to test and proces results of thousands of applicants everyday. Rest can follow.

Re: Should Super License be mandatory for bikes more than 500cc+


Possibly yes, There should be a direct dealing between the vehicle owners and the RTO personnel. No agents/broker should be allowed in between. But to make this happen, may be in another 2000 years

Re: Should Super License be mandatory for bikes more than 500cc+

To be honest in my opinion thr should be a option for super licence who wants to ride more than 500cc bike. It should be strict and valid not more than 2yrs.

Re: Should Super License be mandatory for bikes more than 500cc+

Whats there to stop people from getting a super licence from tier 2 cities, where there are no riding tests anyway?

Re: Should Super License be mandatory for bikes more than 500cc+

Super licence or just the regular license, people will still get it by hook or crook. I like the concept of super license but need for the hour i guess is a progressive training under supervision before any superbikes are allowed on the streets. Especially when the buyer is new to biking or never had any experience riding a twin cylinder or more. Dealership should ensure this by having a programme scheduled for the buyer before handing over the bike.

Re: Should Super License be mandatory for bikes more than 500cc+

Its not the harshness or rigidity of the law that helps. It simply means more bribing. Having proper implementation of existing laws should do the trick. Apart from that motorcycling is risky and there will always be fatalities. Mostly due to rider's mistakes. Even experienced riders make mistakes all the time.... This does not mean that those fatalities are ok, or that they cannot be reduced, just that you don't need new laws, but proper implementation of the existing ones.

Re: Should Super License be mandatory for bikes more than 500cc+

Why would the dealer even be bothered whether you have riding experience or not. All he needs is his damn money back. In that case, any dealer selling SBKs have to check if he/she has a valid driving liscense. Our dealers take Aadhar/Passport for ID/Address proof, start collecting License as the only one.

But there is a catch here again, If you end up buying a SBK and didnt get your Super-License, what will you do then with the bike you bought ??

Do you even think the existing laws will do any good. Of course, it is going to take any new laws to bide its time. But the exisiting laws are also not followed here. Somewhere something has to start. Be it new or renew the old

Re: Should Super License be mandatory for bikes more than 500cc+

That was just my point of view buddy. No matter what we sit and debate or propose here cannot change the law. Why I meant a progressive training is simply becoz every super bike buyer must adhere to or undergo certain training and fulfil a required standard. Like I have heard, in Australia to get a driver's license it takes abt 4 years. First you get a learner licence, again there are sub classes under this. Then you move on to probationary license. After this you get a Full Drivers license. This progress takes about 3-4 years and every driver or rider has to meet certain standards and complete certain exams before he can actually apply for a Driver's license. Do you think something like this is possible in India???? Assuming the Govt introduced super license for 500cc and above. How many will get it the right way. My point is not about license.... but about a certain progression everyone must qualify for. I dont mean for this to be argumentative... Just putting across my humble thoughts. My apologies if I have said anything wrong or if it appears rude. Cheers!!!!
