Remember a lot of people fail at the speed trap, just belt it ! You will be fine …. It usually happens because people look at the speedo then come off the power a little too soon… a split second off that power and then engine breaking will drop you a good 5-7 mph.. just keep power on and go higher than you need

Failed my mod 1 nearly two years ago. Hated the whole experience. Will never ride again.

Despite being long time since the videos being made, a lot of people fail on the last exercise,including myself being 1mph less than the speed requirement both attempts and on my second attending was on the edge a bit but managed to pass it within the requirements from second attempt. Key point to be made is never to underestimate anything as it can be your fall which we dont want.

Just to let up some confusion. I did fail by 1kph, cause I was made to do it on 2nd attempt even tho my speed was 1mph off target the first time. I passed the 2nd time but I had a bad crash so I'm out for upto 12 months so got to get mod 2 done soons I'm better

Where can we hire the bike please let me know ?

Thanks for showing a real test in its entirety. Pretty confident with my maneuvers, but the speed requirement is the thing I'm most worried about. My bike is a very old CBF125 and it is not a powerful machine, nor does it accelerate fast. I'm worried about looking at the speedometre to check I've got the speed while also performing the maneuver. I strongly suspect my speedo is wrong as well and reads higher than my actual speed - there are a couple of those digital signs that tell you your speed near me and they never seem to match up to what my bike's telling me! Think I'm just going to have to belt it and hope I reach the required speed so I can concentrate on the maneuver. Anyway, glad to see you passed second time and hope you're fully recovered from your accident!

Furthermore, if you fail any speed test by more than 2mph you get asked if you'd like to try it again, this classes as 1 minor fault.
