I passed my restricted bike test in 2008, i recently sent my licence to DVLA to have the restriction removed, but when it came back it now states i passed my test in 2010, is this normal? do i now count as part of the new driver act for another 2 years?

Assuming this is your motorbike licence? You had an A2 and now you have a full A licence? When I got mine changed the date changed to 2007 (passed test in 2005). I wouldn't worry about it and I'd actually be happy that you still have all your entitlement after sending it off to the DVLA!

You could head over to bikechatforums for a UK based motorbike forum.

p.s. regarding treating it as a new drivers acts, well, I'm unsure but I don't think so. Saying that, since your now allowed to ride more powerful bikes it could be a possibility.

Yes, the test passed date on your full licence is 2010. Prior to that you were on a restricted licence.
