Hi Troops,
The law here in South Australia is very clear 'No more than 200 watts output petrol or electric'. I got chatted whilest on my 50cc RS bike and was told that even though I was doing all the right things (safety wise and not riding like a moron),that my bike would be over 200 watts of output as it is powered by a petrol motor. These coppers were very polite and let me go as long as I didn't use the motor. Despite alot of people here thinking that the police come from a different planet, they do know that if your motor can propel you along the road or up a hill without you pedaling it is well over 200 watts. We all know this as well, so if you get nabbed and they take your bike, just suck it up!!!
A friend of mine does the dyno testing for the SA Police and he has yet to come across a motored bicycle with a petrol motor that will give Any Usefull performance at 200 watts.
Cheers BJ
