Best EU / UK A2 License Motorcycles
Looking for the strongest native A2-legal bikes without needing an aftermarket throttle restrictor? Every motorcycle below produces between 25 HP and 47.5 HP (≤35 kW) in stock factory trim.
This curated MotoLibrary guide helps you compare motorcycles by real-world criteria instead of only looking at one headline specification. Use the list as a starting point, then open individual spec pages to compare power, weight, seat height, engine size and category.
Buying Guide
How to choose from this list
- Compare the motorcycle’s purpose first: commuting, touring, sport riding, city use or beginner practice.
- Look at several specs together. Power, weight, seat height and fuel capacity often matter more when viewed as a package.
- Use the full spec page and comparison tool before making a buying decision.
