The best used A2 motorcycles and what they cost

An A2 licence lets you ride motorcycles of up to 35 kW, with a power-to-weight ratio of at most 0.2 kW per kilo. A more powerful bike can be restricted to 35 kW, provided its original output is no more than 70 kW. A bike that makes 35 kW or less as standard is often the simplest choice: no restrictor kit, no paperwork and a lower purchase price.

Naked: light and affordable

The KTM 390 Duke and the Yamaha MT-03 are the cheapest way in on this list and both have plenty of listings. The Duke is lively and light, the MT-03 calmer with a smooth twin. The Honda CB 500 F has the full 35 kW and is known for its reliability. The BMW G 310 R is the cheapest option, but at 25 kW also the least powerful.

Adventure: for longer trips

The Honda CB 500 X is a comfortable all-rounder with an upright riding position, suited to commuting and touring. The KTM 390 Adventure is lighter and more focused on unpaved roads. The Benelli TRK 502 offers a lot of bike for little money, but at around 235 kg it is heavy.

Cruiser and classic: a low seat

If you want a low seat, look at the Honda CMX 500 Rebel (690 mm) or the Kawasaki Eliminator 500 (735 mm). The Royal Enfield Interceptor 650 is a classic twin that falls within the A2 limit as standard.

What to check

• On a restricted bike, check that the restriction is registered and the paperwork matches.
• A2 bikes are often ridden by beginners, so look closely for drop damage on levers, footpegs and fairing parts.
• Compare the asking price with the price indication on the model page, and use our inspection checklist.
